So now I'm reading:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/16/11/P...

And I want microphones, I want to hear the thing ring with that 2.3kHz note. I want to feel the 27Hz wiggle and the 196Hz thump. I want to get the Slow-Mo guys in there to place their camera, and watch the thing jump when a beam hits it.

The amount of energy in that thing just defies intuitive understanding from reading a paper, I have to use other senses.

The amount of materials science knowledge so casually on display is amazing.
