You may have wondered how we came up with the recommendation that women have 500 calories and men have 600 calories on a Fast Day. We used the rule of thumb that women need 2000 calories and men need 2400 calories per day and on a Fast Day you should eat a quarter of a normal dayâs recommended calories. Some of you have also wondered exactly how many calories you should be eating on days when youâre not fasting.
According to most sources, the human hearing (frequency) range is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (bats can hear up to 100,000 Hz!). What does that mean? Sound is a mechanical wave that propagates through a medium (air, water), and the frequency of a sound wave determines its tone and pitch.
What makes 52 Hertz so compelling a study subject is that large baleen whales (like blue and fin) communicate at a frequency range that ends at less than half the 52 Hz range (typically 15 to 25 Hz) which explains why the whaleâs calls go unanswered â no other whale (it seems) can hear it.
