Are there more waves than electromagnetic and mechanical waves? The reason I ask is my girlfriend is crazy about crystals and whatnot and insists that crystals and humans transmit waves. Obviously any educated person knows crystals do in fact transmit small electromagnetic waves So I was wondering, is it possible that there are waves being transmitted on a spectrum we do not yet understand? Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves we did not know gamma rays, radio waves, infrared existed. So is it possible that my girlfriend is not bat shit crazy/stupid and that humans/crystals transmit waves on a spectrum on we cannot yet comprehend or scientifically test for?
Don't worry op. My wife believes in essential oils holding magical powers and other voodoo girl blog mom science. They are just naturally stupid. Don't hold it against them.

Thanks, I guess the question is unanswerable but I was wondering if anybody knew anything more than just "no one knows"

Assuming there are previously unknown waves, what makes her assume they'd be know to her, but not modern science?
> is it possible that my girlfriend is not bat shit crazy/stupid
Even though there are undoubtedly forces/things that are unknown to modern science, they are also unknown to her.
Even if she guesses something correctly (auras, chakras, whatever), she's still firmly believing in something without any basis.
That's not "bat-shit" crazy, but it's not really rational, either.

Whew makes me feel a lot better that someone is in the same position as me. I understand they are naturally stupid, I just don't understand how they can be so sure of something with no facts to back it up.

See literally all religions.

Was gonna post a Wavves reference, but you beat me to it. Glad there's another fan out there.

Everything is waves, OP. That doesn't make your girl not an idiot though.
quantum nonsense
I don't know about crystals, but the human subtle energy field is well described in various cultures and traditions.

Aren't those just electromagnetic waves though?
>>7937366
There is precisely one other known form of wave, and that is the one following in accordance to departure of a social interaction

No. Yes, there are tiny electrical and electromagnetic fields produced by the body, but they aren't the same as subtle energy, for want of a better term.
