I imagine the same effect would happen if you set your camera to 30 fps and used a 30 Hz tone.

I also wonder what it looks like in person. I wonder if you shot the 24 Hz at 30 fps if it would basically look "normal".

To address the above question, I wonder if it would look any different at 48 fps, because the tone is still 24 Hz (24 sound waves/second). Maybe it would look like half as many waves? I imagine 48Hz at 24 fps would have the same effect, but double the amount of waves.

You know what isn't new or creative? Being an old guy (and I am one), and complaining about today's music. His argument is "kids these days, they're not doing anything new. Why, back in my day...." EVERY generation makes that argument! There is so much innovation going on right now, it's scary. But there is a LOT more music being produced overall, so you have to seek it out! He obviously doesn't. Music (and the arts in general) evolves. There are very few instant innovations, and most of those involve technology. He talks about punk rock like it suddenly came out of nowhere. Maybe it got popular fast, but it's not like somebody just invented it! And then he goes on to pine about the past, that punkers were edgy because they couldn't play their instruments, but now they're good players. Guess what: that's INNOVATION! If it were stuck in the past, they'd all still be crappy players!

He cites uber-pop examples to make his point, like Lady Gaga. When has pop music ever been innovative??? He makes mention of dub-step as being innovative (basically, arguing against his own point), but then makes the CLASSIC old guy argument: it's not listenable! Hmm, what did so many people back in the 60's say about the Beatles: who can listen to that noise? Then, after he's done complaining about our obsession with the past, he goes on to talk about what he collects, and THE PAST. Arg.

I like seeing people whose political views I may not agree with actually make well-reasoned comments and arguments! Bravo Neatorama for having smart, level-headed readers!

"I corrected my daughters yesterday for calling Pres. Obama just “Obama”. Even though I disagree with our President, I will continue to teach my children to respect our leaders."

YES! This is something that bothers me so much. It is patriotic to respect the office. It is patriotic to respect the leader who was duly elected by our process. It's fine to disagree, but it's classless to show disdain and disrespect for someone who was elected fair and square. And it actually makes me feel embarrassed that people in other countries might see how people in my country act toward their own elected leaders.

I think it's completely sound. Basically what he's saying is that we are all part of the whole, even though we feel separate. Religion is there to help us realize that and therefore achieve peace within oneself. It's a way of saying you are not apart from your son, that we are all part of a greater whole. I nice sentiment, if stated a little obtusely.
