why would *all* molecules resonate between 20Hz and 20kHz? After all,
there are many other possible frequencies. Also, I find it very hard to
believe that every permutational form of matter lies between that
spectrum, or the difference in frequencies may be too precise to replicate
correctly. If the frequency was 30.00000Hz for HNO3, and 30.00001Hz for
HPO3, how could he expect to record and reproduce sounds to that degree of
precision? Also, wouldnt this proposition mean that any reproduction of
sounds may have a potentially dangerous effect? Certainly much more random
events would be occuring in everyday life.

the whole thing smells like a joke to me :P~
