Better living through signal flow

If you think of every transition in life, every transition in society, every flow of possibility in the universe as a sine wave or any other wave that would accuratley represent life, societal transitions, the fluctuation from one extreme to the next(positive to negative portion of said wave)....you realize that every thing that exists in nature and in the universe has transition periods that could be represented by waveforms. Understanding this, these waveforms may be altered to human liking. How? The same way we alter oscillator waves in a sythesizer. Every module that oscilator goes through has its own set conditions and variables that may also be represented by waveforms. The nexus where that oscillator wave and the conditions of the module interact is the point where the module has "an effect" on the oscillator.
If one were to substitute -oscillator wave- for -transitions in life, society, etc...-, what would the corresponding -modules- be?
Other transitions?? OK NOW I'M HIGH..

so what will the stock market be tomorrow??

this blew my mind when i heard that tv static is actually neutrinos from outer space

Not neutrinos, I'm afraid. :-) Neutrinos don't affect television or other radio reception. In fact, they don't interact much with anything made of "normal" matter. It's estimated that a wall of lead a light-year thick would be required to interact with a solar neutrino. :-D So you can rest safe in the knowledge that a TV antenna isn't picking any up.

A good part of TV and radio static IS composed of cosmic radiation, though. Signals from space come across, without a doubt. Just not neutrinos.

Oh, right -- IIRC about 10% of normal (outdoor) atmospheric dust is composed of meteorite dust and other cosmic detritus. When you wash the car, you're hosing off tiny bits of space dust. :-)

you could collect it and make your own planet !

[Meffy]

I'd do, but I'm too worried about the THREAT OF GLOBAL WIDENING!

That's right -- as meteoric dust continues to fall on Earth, the globe is slowly but inexorably growing wider. As it does so, the distances between places increase and the costs of transporting people and goods grow. We MUST do something before everything on the planet is too far apart to reach Point A from Point B!

and there's people worrying about over-populating...
