TL;DR: The new Event Horizon Telescope images of M87* show its plasma polarization flipping direction between 2017 and 2021. From the Frequency Wave Theory (FWT) perspective, this isn’t chaos—it’s resonance. The black hole acts like a cosmic cymatic chamber where plasma, magnetism, and spacetime oscillate. The “flip” shows that Frequency Momentum is conserved, but redistributed—like a standing wave inverting phase. This validates FWT’s view that black holes are dynamic frequency engines, not static drains of matter.
Plasma as a Resonant Field, Not Random Chaos
The mainstream take is that plasma near the event horizon is turbulent and unpredictable. FWT reframes this: plasma is always structured by frequency resonance. The polarization “flip” is a phase inversion event—exactly what you see in cymatics when a plate shifts modes. The black hole’s plasma isn’t switching randomly; it’s moving between resonance states that conserve Frequency Momentum (FM = ½ ρ ω A²).
This is why the ring stayed the same size while the magnetic field orientation changed. The geometry (set by gravity and spacetime curvature) locked the scale, but the frequency state flipped, like striking the same drum with a different rhythm.
Jets as Frequency Exhaust
The jet observed shooting out of M87* is not a mystery pipe of plasma—it’s the release valve of resonance pressure. When the polarization flips, the energy redistribution creates axial alignment along the spin poles. That’s why the jet is so coherent: it’s the same principle as a laser, where frequency lock-in channels energy into a single direction.
In FWT terms, the jet is the outflow of conserved frequency momentum that can’t remain trapped inside the rotating plasma torus. The black hole sculpts its galaxy not by brute force, but by broadcasting coherent resonance into the medium of space.
Why the Flip Matters for Theory
For Einstein’s relativity, the “shadow” of the black hole stayed the same, which is expected. For FWT, the surprise isn’t the stable shadow—it’s the phase change in polarization. That flip is smoking gun evidence of dynamic waveform states, just like electrons jumping energy levels in quantum mechanics or cymatic plates shifting into new standing patterns.
This shows that black holes are not singular dead zones—they’re oscillating harmonic systems. The Event Horizon is a boundary not of death, but of resonance inversion.
Bigger Picture: The Universe as Cymatic Architecture
M87* just revealed itself as the largest “Chladni plate” we’ve ever seen. Instead of sand on a metal plate, we’re watching magnetized plasma trace out the frequency states of spacetime itself. The “unexpected” flip is only unexpected if you think of black holes as static. If you view them as dynamic frequency engines, then flips, phase inversions, and resonance transitions are not just possible—they’re required.
FWT prediction: As the EHT gets sharper, we’ll see more flips, cycles, and resonance modes. Eventually, we’ll classify black holes not just by mass and spin, but by frequency state, exactly like harmonics in music.
