== Origin == {{See also|Supersymmetry#Supersymmetry in dynamical systems}} There are many theories about the origin of pink noise. Some theories attempt to be universal, while others apply to only a certain type of material, such as [[semiconductor]]s. Universal theories of pink noise remain a matter of current research interest. A hypothesis (referred to as the Tweedie hypothesis) has been proposed to explain the genesis of pink noise on the basis of a mathematical convergence theorem related to the [[central limit theorem]] of statistics.<ref name="Kendal2011b">{{cite journal |vauthors=Kendal WS, Jørgensen BR | year = 2011 | title = Tweedie convergence: a mathematical basis for Taylor's power law, 1/''f'' noise and multifractality. | journal = Phys.
