Why scientists played music to cheese?

Consumers could soon be looking at cheese in a new light. Switzerland has played host to a ground-breaking study which goes beyond the usual factors of appearance, taste, and smell. The title is simple but surreal: Cheese in Surround Sound.

Experts describe it in their press release as “a culinary art experiment,” seeking to establish a credible link between cheese and music.

For a more thorough scientific explanation, the reader must consider how “the bio-acoustic impact of sound waves affects metabolic processes in cheese, to the point where a discernible difference in flavor becomes apparent – one which can even be visualized using food technology.”

The man who triggered this unique investigation is Beat Wampfler,...

The study took place at Bern University of the Arts and used sonochemistry to explore the effects of different types of music on maturing cheese wheels. Sonochemistry “looks at the influences of sound waves, the effect of sound on solid bodies” according to Michael Harenberg, director of the university’s music program, quoted by Smithsonian.com.

Reminded me of Monty Python’s

“Three Blind Mice”

I never played music when I made cheese, but I sure have when I cut it.

That headline can’t possibly have been written by a native English speaker.

I suspect this is another experiment to show how current scientific publishers don’t do any vetting.

In a couple of weeks we’ll hear that it was a hoax.

Have seen (and smelled) cheese being cut in a crowded elevator, accompanied by what could be described as a wind section aria. Is that what they mean?

"Finding the resonance point. It is how the microwave was discovered and developed."

I've been looking for the that responsive point in my wife for years. Since she won't fit into a microwave oven, how about I sit a 15" sub-woofer next to her with the high frequencies turned down as she watches Housewives Of Who Gives a Crap? The air vibrations do originate from the same EM waves, right?

Wow! I've come up with a new electronic device for men without game. Sub-Woooofers for Women! I call dibs on the copyrights. Patent pending...

I have a Krag rifle once used by the Philippine Constabulary ( under US rule).

Women are multidimensional and have frequently changing resonant points. And you are supposed to know them all. Sheesh!

The best solution is to hit them with white noise.

Always wondered why so many of us FReepers are Monty Python fans who know all the classic lines & sketches.

I mean, you have to be a certain age, and have Millennials even heard of the Pythons?

And have you in fact got any cheese here at all?

Can't recall if there was any music with his cheese (other than his answering machine).
