| In a demonstration, not an experiment, it’s sufficient to have the Geiger counter go clicky at different rates while the demonstrator plays the sphere like a theremin. The point was to show it to people, not to collect data. |

| > plays the sphere like a theremin Wow, that's a brilliantly horrifying image. (Are there other analogous ones? Does anyone do musical timing of building demolitions, or something like that?) |

| ▲ | Terr_ 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I have the vague feeling like the last 40 years of movies must have contained at least one scene where a villainous figure makes conductor-motions as things explode to music, but I can't recall anything specific. There was the V For Vendetta movie where landmarks exploded to the 1812 Overture, but no gesturing was involved. | | |
