String Theory – en.wikipedia.org

“The starting point for string theory is the idea that the point-like particles of elementary particle physics can also be modeled as one-dimensional objects called strings. According to string theory, strings can oscillate in many ways. On distance scales larger than the string radius, each oscillation mode gives rise to a different species of particle, with its mass, charge, and other…

Degraded Time-Frequency Acuity to Time-Reversed Notes – plosone.org

“Introduction

It has long been proposed that the human auditory system is in some way “optimized” for natural sounds. Ecological theories of perception suggest that hearing evolved to detect the sounds necessary for survival and successful reproduction. Such sounds fall into three groups: those of conspecifics, heterospecifics (predators and prey of humans), and the elements….
