The Magnetic Diet - Resonance

Chapter Six: Right Company

Strike a tuning fork and you’ll notice how it causes the air around it to vibrate. Place it near another tuning fork and the second will begin to quiver at the same frequency and amplitude as the first. In physics this phenomenon is called resonance. Resonance helps attract to us those people and circumstances that are in harmony with the dominant thoughts in our mind. It also causes one person to be influenced by another, for better or worse.

It was an innocent experiment. The year was 1898 and as reported in the New York Times, Nicola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors of his time, attached a small vibrator to an iron column in his lab in New York City. He closed a switch and it began vibrating. He had noticed that at certain frequencies specific pieces of equipment in the room would start to shake. When he changed the frequency, the quivering would move to another part of the room. Unfortunately, he had not realized that the column ran down into the foundation beneath the building. He was transmitting his vibrations all over Manhattan.

For Tesla, the first hint of trouble came when the walls and floor began to heave. He stopped the experiment just as police came rushing through the door. It seems he had started a small earthquake in his neighborhood which had smashed windows, swayed buildings, and sent panicky neighbors dashing into the streets. The police fingered Tesla because they had frequently responded to complaints about his unusual activities. It was another of Tesla's experiments in resonance.

Every phenomenon in nature has its dark side and resonance is no exception. On the morning of November 7, 1940, the four-month-old Tacoma Narrows Bridge began to oscillate dangerously up and down. A reporter drove out onto it. The bridge was heaving so
