I'm glad they brought up the second.
Though it wasn't mentioned in that article, many of the boneheads who believe this stuff assert that "432 is a natural universal ratio" of some sort.
I find it hysterically stupid that their magic frequency matching this magic ratio is based on a unit Hz, or cycles per
second.
Because the second is a completely arbitrary unit that is what it is only because of a number of random accidents of history involving the way various people decided to divide up time based on particular cycles that only apply to this particular planet and were later redefined a number of times:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second#History_of_definition Since the second is not any kind of universal unit, 432 cycles/second can't be either. Because if you change what "second" means, you won't get 432 any more.
And the ratio between 440 and 432 is only ~1.0185. Which means that if Hz had even existed in ancient times, the ancients' definition and measurement of a second couldn't possibly be that accurate or consistent with modern measurements to get the same number 432 anyway.
