My neighbor keeps playing annoyingly loud feelsounds, so I disassembled him with a molecular vibration generator (as per our HOA’s regulations)

Unfortunately he’s got his house set up with enough organic material in a way where it’ll instigate rapid abiogenesis and directed evolution to remake his body from scratch. Several half dozen times I’ve disassembled him only to hear him emanating feelsounds within the next moonrise. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can keep him incorporeal more permanently?

Questions about a two OCs I've been working on that I need help with: The first can cause vibrations in any metal at the molecular level, and the second can heal anyone's injuries, and can fix any object, car, building to be completely brand new.

So, here's the two things I need help with:

For OC #1, who we shall dub BMV (BigMetalVibrator), I need to ask a sort of scientific question. Obviously, BMV can superheat metal in an instant by causing it to vibrate uncontrollably. But I also want to make him able to cancel out the vibrations in any metal to supercool it and maybe even make frost and stuff start to appear on it. What I need to know is, if you stop all vibrations in a metal, how cool would it get? Would it just stay room temp? Or is supercooling it actually possible by muffling all vibrations, since all things are technically constantly vibrating?

For OC #2, who we shall dub Miss Fixit, is more fighting related. So, we know Miss Fixit can repair any object right? And you're probably wondering how she does this. Well, it's through a sort of bright energy wave that she emits from her hands, and anything broken that touches it is immediately fixed. How it is fixed is an interesting thing though. All pieces of the broken object simply fly at high speed toward the main structure of the object, tearing through or around other objects if they have to, and then everything seals together. What I need to know, is what are some good ideas of how she might use this ability for fighting? The best I've come up with is that she can always carry around one or two grenades. And then she could basically have a double explosion, and a never ending supply of grenades as long as she can run to pick them up again after repairing them. But yeah, any other ideas would be great!

Any and all help is appreciated!

Is Ek in gases due to molecular vibration lower than the Ek in solids due to molecular vibration?

I just did a physics test and I was 1 point away from a 7(the ib equivilent of an A+) all due to one multiple choice question: https://imgur.com/a/fG7i6ha

The correct answer was B

I wrote a rant to my teacher but she debunked it by saying that "movement in gases is random motion (look up Brownian motion) - they do not vibrate or oscillate.Β  A vibration makes an assumptionΒ of a fixed position ( this is less fixed for liquids)"

I would like to ask if she is correct or not, and if she is wrong, how so?

Heres my rant if you want to read it:

My qualms regarding question 5 of the multiple choice section:

The question assumed that solids have the most Ek generated by vibration because solids are the only state of matter that, the question believes, actually does vibrate in all cases where the temperature is above 0K. But that is simply not true.

You defined vibration as particles going back and forth, and this is obviously also prevalent in both gases and liquids. If the temperature is above 0K, gas particles go back and forth as they create pressure by colliding with each other and the walls of the container, the same is with liquids with the only difference is that they exert no pressure on the walls of a container if gravity is 0. Hence, they go back and forth. Even in the cases where the pressure of a gas is low enough so that a gas molecule would be able to reach one side of the container and bounce back to the other, it still would be considered a vibration, simply one with a lower frequency, as it follows your definition.

You counter argued that because gases have the potential to infinitely expand, vibration is impossible, as the gas molecules would not be able to collide with anything, and hence, only would be able to travel in one direction.

I will rebuttal by saying that ideal gases do vibrate in every possible case, as in every possible case, an ideal gas would have to follow the pv=nrt formula. This formula is one of the defining traits of an ideal gas, and if a gas in a situation does not follow the formula, it should not be considered an ideal gas.

In a situation where T=273k, n=1 and where a gas is allowed to infinitely expand, the pressure would be zero, as there would be no change in momentum between the particles of a gas and the walls of a container. In this situation, the formula would be as such:

(0)v=(1)(8.31)(273)

Unless volume is infinity (which is impossible as the only container close enough t

Using molecular vibration to degrade molecules?

Hi Reddit,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the molecular vibration of a molecule to help i'ts degradation. Let's say i have a salt, and i know the exact IR band at which light is absorbed at the ionic bond. Could i make an IR lamp with a bandpass filter and excite the molecules enough to cause increased dissociation? Does it make sense that if the molecule is in an exicted state, especially at the ion bond, it would dissociate faster or easier? Or would any dissociation just be becuase of the increase in energy of the molecule due to the temperature increase of absorbing tha IR radiation?

Thanks.

Do atomic and molecular vibrations have defined natural frequencies?

All the atoms and molecules vibrate all the time in all states (at temperatures other than 0 K). The freedom and amount of vibration goes with the state. More freedom and vibration in gaseous state, then lesser in liquid state and minimal in solid state. Ignoring the complex molecules here, just consider simpler and smaller molecules like H2, O2, N2, CO2, H2O and others similar. Do the molecules as such and the atoms with in them vibrate just randomly or is there any natural frequency in these vibrations? If they have specific frequencies, can they be measurable?

Does the Relativity of time in relation to an object's motion apply to movement like vibration or electric excitement on the molecular level? I.E. would a vibrating or heated object experience time slower than a still object?

If I understand Relativity correctly, an object moving very fast relative to another object experiences time slower than the non-moving object.

I'm wondering if movement like vibration or other kinds of molecular excitation (e.g. a heated gas, electrically charged object) would also cause the perception of time to slow down.

The ability to vibrate iron at the molecular level

The use is able to super heat and super cool iron in a matter of seconds. Since it is at the molecular level, however, this also means they can cause a person's blood to boil super fast. I googled what happens, and Google says if your blood instantly begins to boil, your skin will puff up like a balloon, and you'll eventually explode. This would work great if the user just had to kill someone super fast. Their less lethal fighting style would most likely include welding an iron sword in either hand. They would be able to instantly melt the sword and swipe up to create a shield. And at higher levels, they would even be able to use the sword as a super heated metal whip. Idk how easy it would be to try and get a sharp edge back onto the swords, but you wouldn't really need that with metal shields and whips, lol. And if all else fails, you can just explode your enemy.

Collective Vibrational Strong Coupling Effects on Molecular Vibrational Relaxation and Energy Transfer: Numerical Insights via Cavity Molecular Dynamics Simulations**

We performed cavity molecular dynamics simulations and showed that, under vibrational strong coupling conditions, vibrational relaxation and energy transfer from hot to thermal molecules can be accelerated relative to that outside a cavity due to polariton-accelerated intermolecular vibrational energy transfer.

Abstract

For a small fraction of hot CO2 molecules immersed in a liquid-phase CO2 thermal bath, classical cavity molecular dynamics simulations show that forming collective vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between the C=O asymmetric stretch of CO2 molecules and a cavity mode accelerates hot-molecule relaxation. This acceleration stems from the fact that polaritons can be transiently excited during the nonequilibrium process, which facilitates intermolecular vibrational energy transfer. The VSC effects on these rates 1)β€…resonantly depend on the cavity mode detuning, 2)β€…cooperatively depend on Rabi splitting, and 3)β€…collectively scale with the number of hot molecules. For larger cavity volumes, the average VSC effect per molecule can remain meaningful for up to Nβ‰ˆ104 molecules forming VSC. Moreover, the transiently excited lower polariton prefers to relax by transferring its energy to the tail of the molecular energy distribution rather than distributing it equally to all thermal molecules. As far as the parameter dependence is concerned, the vibrational relaxation data presented here appear analogous to VSC catalysis in Fabry–PΓ©rot microcavities.

Could the COVID vaccines possibly cause demonic possession?

The idea that a secret cabal of elite is brainwashing and mocking the masses via esoteric messages and predictive programming in entertainment has gained more traction over the years due to more people discovering the existence of secret societies. Recently, I watched the movie β€˜The Invasion’ which might contain such messages. The movie has some coincidences related to the COVID vaccines and I thought it was worth writing an article about them. The movie is based on an infectious fungus that gets unleashed on Earth from a crashing space shuttle and the people who get infected become possessed by an alien force, leading them to become mind-controlled and to attempt to infect others with the fungus. It’s basically the same premise as the Body Snatchers, the famous 1954 movie produced by Walter Wanger. One of the characters that gets infected early on is Tucker Kaufman, a CDC director β€” who once becomes infected, hurriedly develops a vaccine and slips the fungus into it, so he can infect as many people as possible. So, millions of people that line up to get their vaccines get infected by the fungus and become possessed by the mysterious alien force. Horrible, right?

One of the scientists discovers that the fungus (which they slipped into the vaccines) can change the host’s genetic expression: β€œWhat we’re dealing with is a complete intelligent entity that’s invading people’s bodies, integrating with their DNA and reprogramming their genetic expression”. This is where some coincidences start to arise. In this movie, people are receiving vaccines that were rushed out and didn’t undergo proper trials (similar to the COVID vaccines) with the alien fungus in that can reprogram their genetic expression. Well, coincidentally, some researchers have warned that the COVID vaccines are reprogramming our genetic makeup. Molecular biologist, Andrew Kaufman, says that the COVID vaccines will genetically change us. Kaufman talks about how the COVID vaccine will provide a vessel to β€œinject genes” into humans, by a procedure known as β€œelectroporation”, in which an electric current β€œcreate holes in our cells that allow the DNA to go into our cells”, essentially changing our genetic makeup.

Here’s where the rabbit hole gets darker. As mentioned above, the vaccines in the movie not only genetically change people, but possess them, leading them to b
