Low frequency sound

[SusanDoris]

I have been listening to an article from a book about "sacred places" found by seeing where lines of low frequency sound energy meet and  have googled a bit. The book is a sort of up-to-date  ley lines mystery and includes a lot about the Templars. However, I would be interested to know if such 'lines' exist and if so do they extend around the globe?

Oh yes, and the other thing is: do they make circular (or oval) patterns and do they sort of ebb and flow?

They are pseudoscience.

We were told ley lines ran through the field belonging to our previous property, we took that with a huge pinch of salt.

My Dad says that ley lines are where you take two points on the map and find you can draw a straight line between them.

Thank you   for your reply. I had thought so, but the googling I did failed to turn up a relevant link, as far as I could see.

I Posted a response to the article querying politely how it is possible to know they are there, if they do not register on transducers and similar! The author is said to be a 'trained geologist', but perhaps he wasn't making the money he thought he deserved and, unfortunately, there are plenty of gullible people who will buy his book.

The wiki article is pretty good

Thank you, yes, that is an interesting link. Back in the 1970s,I obtained a copy of Alfred Watkins' book, The Old Straight Track',  - can't remember whether it was a second-hand copy or a re-print, but I have an idea it was the latter, and that would probably have been publishers jumping on the bandwagon of UFOs and the mystical aspects of the time. My scepticism was not fully fledged at the time, but getting close to that, so I read it with interest, but with sceptic antennae working well!

It seems the author of the book  (it's the current book on GH) has done that, but I expect he thinks using some scientific terminology gives the book authority!

They are pseudoscience.

Lines are ... lines. They can have exact mathematical definitions and use so how are they pseudoscience?

Any one can find and draw ley-lines, what significance anyone gives them is subjective, so entirely up to them.

Astronomers draw and name whole constellations - again of only subjective significance - are they pseudoscience too?

Because that isn't the claim for ley lines and low frequency sound. Read up about what  is being claimed and get back to me. The wiki link I posted to Susan in reply will help.

This is a link to a summary of the book under discussion on the GH site.

I can't see that it is making any falsifiable or even verifiable claims. It is part of the development of a personal fantasy or mythology - as is pretty much everything on the site.
There are enough references to actual facts to allow you maintain a suspension of incredulity - similar to myths at the start of any cult or religion.

Best enjoyed as an imaginative fiction. A bit like The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail or most religious myths or sf.

As to ley lines or converging low resonance lines, you can just draw your own to any places you feel are spiritual or meaningful.

So it is indeed pseudoscience dressed up as low frequency sound.

One of the things about reading via listening to Synthetic Dave is that it reads clearly all the way through anything. in spite of my natural urge to stop after a paragraph or two because I've heard it all before!!, I listen, pause the voice every now and again to make a note on a doc, and then pose a polite question to the author on the AoM board!
