    Dear Jason Chen

    To my understanding, matter is composed of energy. Light is a form of energy, thus we have that light = frequency(ies), or a wave(s). Energy can come from many sources and in many forms, and it does not necesarily has to be on a visible spectrum.

    So if energy is composed of frequencies, much like sound is composed of frequencies, is it not safe to asume that matter is made of 'sound/vibrations'? That would be it in a nutshell.

    Cyma is the greek word for wave. The study of how 'waves' affect the structure of matter is called cymatics.

    Almost every civilazation in the past had some form of expressing this ancient knowledge. Take Hindu mythology for example. Their god Shiva created the world using his drum. The same applies to western monotheism, since the word of God created the world, as told in the first three lines of the Old Testament.

    Harmonics is something we should all be looking at nowadays.

    So my question to you would be...what's the deal with those big fugly British wall plugs anyways?

    Sincerely
    psychonaut2021

    Post Scriptum
    The post above is simply my PERSONAL philosophical views of life and the machanism behind our universe. It isn't scientifically accurate, and it I'm merely having fun by posting it. This is not to be taken seriously so please, do not try to ruin the fun I'm having by correcting me. I know what is right and what isn't. Thank you.

    @psychonaut2021: Your theory was true before the digital conversion. Now energy (and therefore matter) is composed of ones and zeros.

    On the bright side, the higher bandwidth will be able to hold up as the load increases with the global population explosion.

    Some are worried though that when we will see a considerable drop in the quality of life during peak times - like weekends and holidays - due to throttling of unapproved activities.

    If its a completely not tech question, requiring nothing more than a BS answer (like "What do women really want?") send it to me. I probably wont answer it, but, I will have fun laughing at you. ;)

    Other than more sleep in my wife's case, 2 little kids = 4 + years of sleep deprivation.
