Every level of the physical universe is vibrational or wavelike

Evidence

Time and frequency are the Fourier transform pair that concern us in this book. There are many other examples of Fourier transform pairs: quantities that are related by a Fourier transform. Anything that behaves as a wave has an uncertainty principle connecting Fourier transform pairs. — Eric J. Heller, Why You Hear What You Hear- An…, 433 (#expands, via linked claim)

Resonance for an oscillator corresponds to alignment (in-phase condition) of force and velocity. But force causes acceleration, which increases the velocity, so resonance corresponds to constructive addition of velocity to preexisting velocity. This applies universally, to a single oscillator, a complex structure such as a string, a membrane, a plate, a solid, and even to air. — Eric J.
