    i know the last one with the atom isn’t technically a harmonic oscillator but eh, close enough

      Opened comments to post this. There is a lot of inharmonic stuff around. Even piano strings are audibly inharmonic, more so in vertical piano than in grand piano, and a lot of world’s beauty is hidden there.

    Tbh the one where you recreate x² by adding waves is still freaking me out. Idk I feel like this should not be like that, it feels wrong idk.

      what, are you talking about the last one?

      oh we’re not recreating x² (i think). this is the energy eigenstates of quantum harmonic oscillators. interesting topic, but not interesting to explain.
