The most prominent paintings in our place are very old looking cape codesque ocean scenes…. a few sailboats and land in the background with a lighthouse and a little village or somthing. They are painted on wood and are nicely framed and look really old, and in the context of the apartment look like some kind of really expensive uberWASP decoration. My mother in law bought them at a backwoods auction in rural Missouri for five bucks each. LOL.
More fascinating than the theory of sound is that of light. Light can be characterized as EITHER a continuous wave of energy or a discrete burst, with mass-like properties (a photon).
When I was in R&D in fiber optics, we used to characterize someone who was too analytical and had no practical sense as “too much into the photons”.
Oddly, I know a smattering about this. But BH knows a TON about it. He has a pretty good collection of books about sound, signal analysis and sound engineering. Along with his other books on control systems, and theoretical math.

I like art (photos, illustrations, paintings,…) but I would not pay big bucks for it.

Art is what people who have no real life problems do.
