What is this thing called quartz ?
The comedian Paul Hogan once did a comedy sketch of a quartz digital watch.
Inside the watch was a production factory of tiny people shuffling cards about in a frantic endeavour to show the time. Since then the digital age has progressed to the point where computers are, to carry forward the analogy, a virtual city of tiny people shuffling information.
It is very likely that
computer do not have millions of
tiny slaves organising information for the
pleasure of the exterior giants then that
leaves us with the question still of
what is quartz. And what does it
do?
Passing by a local bookshop
recently I noticed a book for sale
on crystals. It purported the healing
qualities of the crystals. And here I
am thinking that
they are just rocks, Ok, ok for
those of you that disagree with my
assessment ......... coloured rocks. These
stones all vibrate at different frequencies
when power is applied. The practitioner of this
type of healing believe that the power of
the crystals can heal. With no power
applied. So what if power is applied. What
frequency can cure my current condition of
scepticism.
There are lots of
scientific facts backed
by hard evidence
regarding crystals
One section deals with power applied to
different types of crystals and their frequencies. Here is
list courtesy wikipedia. 1
The list however does not show
the type of crystal and its corresponding
frequency. Quartz is a very common mineral on earth and
the types vary as shown in the next
list. 2 The vibration when AC power is
applied depends upon the thickness and cut
of the wafer crystal. 3,4 For a demonstration of what happens
when a crystal is deformed.5
After examining all the
footnotes what is the conclusion. What is quartz?
Its a crystal used in digital electronics
to keep accurate time as long as
electrical power is applied. Its also something
some people believe can heal their aches
and pains through the output of its natural
energy. But my favourite is that it can also
be a group of tiny workers
