Does anyone know what this is?

The clip is audio of what I'm assuming is a radio show but in the clip there is video of something. At times it looks like some sort of cellular process and at other times it looks like something on a much larger scale. Can anyone identify what it is that we're looking at?

For those wondering if they should follow the link...

The video is entitled "Kent Hovind vs Molecular Geneticist". Tags are: thewayofthemaster Kent Hovind Evolution Genetics Biochemistry Creation Creationism Kirk Cameron Ray Comfort . The audio is typical creationism arguing.

The cool part is the totally unrelated video material, some eye candy. First guess: some fine powder on an audio speaker fed by a wave generator, knobs twiddled by a human exploring whatever looks interesting.

A DIY Cymatics Display (http://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/homemade_cymatics_display.htm) is something like what I'm thinking of, but not the same video.

I'll bet the video source is "Cymatic SoundScapes", described at cymaticsource.com Cymatics Videos (http://www.cymaticsource.com/cymaticsvideos.html)

This film details Dr. Jenny's experiments using audible frequencies to create complex flowing patterns in lycopodium powder. Different frequencies generate circulatory patterns which closely resemble sun spots and solar flares, or the formation and rotation of spiral galaxies. Unusual three-dimensional formations arise which seem to defy gravity and laws of motion, but all adhere strictly to the dynamics of the generating tone.

Wikipedia: Cymatics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymatics)

Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture. What's more, all of these patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials.

Hahaha, I knew this would probably be one of the only places that I could find some info. Unfortunately the comments section is disabled so that wasn't an option.

The sand on a speaker idea makes a lot of sense for some of it. At other times it looks like it changes to something being cultured in a petri dish, but then it starts doing all kinds of crazy stuff and going a little more 3D than I've ever seen a culture.

Thanks for the info 01101001!

This Cymatics YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY6z2hLgYuY) (part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWadDtIFPNs), part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3csi-2Hrzhg), part 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bAmjRK9wBA)) has what appears to be the same video, higher quality maybe, but with the explanatory audio from the original source rather than Hovind-blathering.

Hahaha, I knew this would probably be one of the only places that I could find some info.The BAUT's a good place for objective evidence or pointers to it, plus discussions on just how valid the evidence is. Thank you, 01101001, for doing the yeoman work here.Unfortunately the comments section is disabled so that wasn't an option....Always be wary of any kind of site, posting, etc., where the comments are disabled. That should be a red flag that the author has taken the position of being absolutely right and cannot abide any criticism whatsoever. The latter usually indicates that the author is absolutely wrong or thereabouts.

Yeah, well it's youtube so really it's the digression of the poster. I would assume he disabled them because like every other video of similar topic the comments...(well really any comments section anywhere on the internet) wouldn't amount to anything less than a flamefest.
