Vibrational Patterns in Science
that depict structural information
Science uses several methods of passing particles or radiation through material substances, so that those particles or radiation pick up changes when they interact with the material, and the particles or radiation is then collected back again by an instrument and displayed, and it shows the pattern that it has picked up. That pattern is then interpreted into an understanding of the corresponding structure of the material substance.
Very often, persons who have strange ideas or experiences that have not been or can not be verified by science, they try to borrow concepts from established science to try to make their ideas sound valid. To do that is called pseudoscience. I want to emphasize that the topics I discuss on this page are by no means intended to lend support to my personal experience of vibrational information or the medical perceptions that those become. My experience of vibrational information has not been proven to be based on physical reality and to not simply be a subjective experience of my own. I simply want to introduce some interesting concepts in science to illustrate what that experience of vibrational information is like for me when I see a structure based on the vibrational pattern that I feel.
Rutherford's Atomic Model |
Material things, ranging from solid objects, biological tissues, and the air itself, are made up out of a large number of very small particles called atoms. Up until 1909 1, scientists had figured out that the size of an atom is about 10 -10 meters (or 0.0000000001 meters) across and that they consist of a positively charged material with several negatively charged particles within it. The positively charged material was assumed to be spread out across the entire space occupied by an atomic particle. This was called the Thompson's atomic model.
Rutherford fired alpha particles through atoms to learn more about the internal structure of atoms. Alpha particles are helium atoms whose negatively charged particles, the electrons, have been removed, resulting in a particle that has only positive charge rather than having both positive and negative charge. The positively charged alpha particles and the positively charged stuff in the atoms would repel each other, changing the path of the alpha particles. Thompson's model predicted that as the alpha particles hit the atoms the path of the alpha particles should deflect by no more than 1°. The alpha particles would pass through the atoms and then hit a screen that wrapped around the experimental setup, where the collision of an alpha particle with the screen produced a speck of light. The pattern of light across the screen would show the deflections of the alpha particles due to passing through the atoms.

The pattern of light across the screen showed that some alpha particles had truly been deflected by about 1° and that some had passed through the atoms undeflected, but surprisingly some had deflected by 90° or more! Had the positive charge of the atoms been spread out across the atoms, the strength of the repulsive force could not have been strong enough to cause such a strong deflection. Thompson's atomic model could not be valid.
Rutherford deduced that the positive charge of the atoms was instead concentrated as a small dense center to produce a large enough repulsive force to deflect the alpha particles with such large angles. Calculations based on this new model predicted the scattering angles that had in fact been observed. So with the use of particles and studying the changes they pick up on interaction with material substances and forming a pattern of light from it on a screen, a vital part of the construction of atoms was discovered. |
