   Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni, a pioneer of the field of acoustics, was born #OTD in 1756.

   He studied the mathematical theory of sound waves, the speed of sound in various materials, and eponymous complex patterns formed by vibrational modes of solid objects.

     Chladni patterns – a natural pairing with Tolkien's musical cosmology – were the visual inspiration for the title sequence of the "Rings of Power" series on Amazon Prime.

     @mcnees yeah, but what happened to the "real effects" opening sequence they showed in a trailer about a year before the show showed?
