Title: WIDE (SCIROCCO). Infrasound vibroacoustic broadcast interface
Post by: bigheadfred on June 30, 2017, 05:50:43 pm
This subject is about sound technology in the ancient world. What the pyramids were for--not only the ones in Egypt.  And other structures. Up to and including more modern cathedrals (the intention behind their design). It is in Russian. Google can translate it. I am mentioning a few people who may have some interest. I found the easiest way for me to get it translated was to search for the link and choose "Translate this page".

There is a ton of information here.

If this is the wrong category we can move it to another.

If my mention to you is a bother, apologies. If you know someone who may have some interest, let them know?

Oh yeah. I find it interesting. I would only invite you to scroll down through it. Maybe something will be of interest to you.

I don't doubt you friend. I am just pointing out that understanding Russian itself is probably easier than understanding Babelfish'd Russian...  :shrug:

Perfect, I might be able to understand it!

On a kind of side note.  I am homeschooling and found a Montessori homeschool program that I thought I would like and one of the included foreign languages is Russian.  This is for 6 - 9 year olds so I thought I would be able to handle it.  It has a picture of an object, the Russian spelling of what the object is.... and NO pronunciation guide for the Russian words!  WTH?

Here is something to think about. Back at the Tower of Babel when the languages were confused. If you suddenly found yourself speaking another language, do you think you would automatically understand what you were saying?

LOL! Thanks for posting something that will keep me up late tonight trying to figure out.

I just saw a program that had a story about a guy in Australia who woke up from a coma speaking fluent Mandarin. Could even write Mandarin. It took him several days to remember English. He understood what he was saying. He took some Mandarin in HS but was never fluent in it. It has happened before to others. There is a neurological explanation for it.

Do you think you would know you were speaking another language or just that everyone else around you was?

Thanks. Will plan to get to it before the  weekend is over.

Have always thought sound stuff was fascinating.

Which means it is automatic.

Confusing the languages isn't saying people started speaking different languages. They were already doing that.

We do it now.  Each of us think we are speaking the clear truth and everyone else hears it as something else.
