Everything has a frequency. The Sun is sure big enough to shake things up a fair bit. Something to do with harmonics, and the way frequencies can be altered when they are 'in harmony' with other frequencies, in other ranges.

The universe vibrates at a given frequency (I don't know what it is) and everything in it must be within that range or it winks out of existence. It is still there but we can't detect it.
