Hilbert spectrum

Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard of sound waves? They're like the vibrations that you can feel when someone speaks or plays music.

Now, imagine those sound waves are like colorful ribbons, with each color representing a different frequency or pitch. The highest pitch would be like a bright red ribbon and the lowest pitch would be like a deep blue ribbon.

The Hilbert Spectrum is like a way of looking at those sound wave ribbons and separating them into individual colors or pitches. It's like taking a big messy pile of ribbons and organizing them neatly into stacks by color.

Scientists and engineers use the Hilbert Spectrum to study sound waves and understand how different frequencies interact with each other. Kind of like how an artist might study the different colors of paint and how they mix together to make a picture.

So, that's the Hilbert Spectrum! It's a way of analyzing sound waves by separating them into different pitches or frequencies, kind of like organizing colorful ribbons into neat stacks.
