If you hold a copper tube larger than 1" diameter between two fingers and get it to ring like a chime - no oscillations in the ding, just a pure note - your fingers are at exactly 1/3 of the way down the pipe.

Also I can prove mathematically that you can get a pendulum on rod to stand straight up if you vibrate the pivot quickly enough.
First, wouldn't the speed of the vibration have to be infinite in order to keep it upright? Second, assuming the former statement is true, you could never get the pendulum to stand completely upright. It would always alternate between two different positions, forming a V-shaped afterimage of the two different positions.
For a normal pendulum there are two points of equilibrium, a stable one when it is hanging straight down and an unstable one when it is pointing straight up. If you start with the pendulum straight up you can make it a stable equilibrium if the frequency of the vibrations is high enough. My lecturer claimed it is physically possible (not just mathematically) but couldn't find a video of it on youtube so I haven't seen it myself.

Every day we accumulate approximately 40 minutes of completely blank vision while our eyes are wide open; the easiest way to comprehend this is to imagine this as the "blank space" in between the "frame rate" of the signal from your eyes to your brain.
