Many species have a built-in sonar system; dolphins, bats, and several other species that we know about. Some humans can use clicking sounds to estimate the distance from trees even in a dense and dark forest, this has been documented in various indigenous Indian tribes. Is my contention that the reason this works for humans as well is the shape of the human ear as it traps and collects the reverberations of vibrational sound, as it is a highly evolved shape for vibrational acoustics. Okay so let's talk about this for second, as I have a few ideas I'd like to run by you.
Is it possible to use vibrational acoustics, and the purposeful intersection of rogue waves to mimic the perception of a larger space? Why might we wish to do this you ask? Well, what if you are on a submarine and you start to get a little claustrophobic? What if you are involved in long-term space travel, a space colony, or you are forced to live in a small area for a long period of time? How about when we put people in prison and we pack them into smaller cells, and they start to have psychological problems which exacerbate their already challenged personality behavioral traits?
How about dorm rooms and apartments? What if you have a restaurant which takes a lot of energy to run the air conditioner, and you want people to feel like it's more spacious? If you put in some mirrors, and have the acoustic set correctly, not only would it visually appear to be a bigger space, but it would also feel right, and much larger. Indeed, after coming up with this concept the other day, I think I've come to the conclusion that it is possible, and therefore we need to study this and do some research. Why you ask? For the same reasons I mentioned above and all the potential applications.
Further, if it works for humans it could work for zoo animals, and it might prevent people living in high density areas from going crazy or exhibiting violent behavior. If you got the acoustics right it would also help the retail sector as more people would shop and those retail spaces could be smaller, making the return on investment better for those who own the buildings and the retailers who have to pay for that floor space each month with their rent. It makes sense, even for the future compact cars which are smaller to get better fuel mileage. Therefore, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
