Heat. Everything ends up as heat.
So where do smells go?
I imagine a physicist would invoke entropy to describe the diffusion of pressure waves and vibration into other forms of energy. Neuroscience might explain the propagation of signals from the cochlea into the brain. A psychologist could hypothesise on the influence of music on our mood and ideas. A philosopher might talk about the influence of music on the way we build our society and how that feeds back into our music. In this way, the music never stops, it continues on as echos rippling through through the universe.
I think this is my favorite comment I’ve read on Lemmy so far.
We didn’t start the music, it was always playing since the world was turning
Beautiful. We are just one of many instruments that express the music.
That gave me some real Alan Watts vibes. If this came from your own brain, be proud of this comment. Beautifully worded and inspiring.
Thank you and funny you should say that because Watts is an inspiration. From a scientific point of view some of his ideas were a little tenuous but as a teacher on the subject of the ineffable he was quite peerless.
You absorb it into your soul and it changes you irreversibly forever.
As the waves from ocean, the music crashes on the beaches in your ears
Like sand through your beer glass, these are the waves of our lives
And slowly erodes it.
What?
Everyone knows this duh!
Into your heart!
Groove is stored in the heart
It rolls up into the other side of the cassette. Just flip it over.
I thought the sentence was going to lead to something like “It rolls up into the other 8 inaccessibly tiny dimensions of our space.”
I love your oldschool explanation though!
It turns out the solution to quantum string theory is a double-sided tape.
Sounds move very very fast, faster than a runner or a car, so it goes very very far away.
Very good ELI5.
Now do a “Calvin’s Dad” explanation.
When eli2000BCE? Coming out
Tho needith explanation to the highest degree, in between pilliaging villages and plauge season
Emphasis on the 5, tho.
Like, to the next town over, or even further?
Only way to find out is to get there faster.
So like can i get like a net and catch it? Like its my music i paid for so like i gotta keep it for safe keeping. Do i gotta go to another town and get it that way???
Lmao im joking Good explanation tho
But gets slower and more tired as he runs, until he dies?
I’m not a scientist by a long shot, but my understanding is that sound if indeed a wave, carried by a medium (air, water, etc). Upon hitting your eardrum, this wave is converted by your eardrum and your auditory nerve into signals your brain decodes. The remainder of the wave continues though, until it runs out of medium, hits an obstacle (basically another medium) or dissipates. Again, just my layman’s understanding!
A little bit reflexts off your eardrumm too!
False, it gets stuck in my head, to be played over and over until the next song gets stuck in my head.
The Langoliers eat it
The best and the worst go straight to your brain and live there rent free.
Unfortunately, nobody has figured out how toget rid of the bad songs that drown out the good ones.
The Langoliers eat it.
Some of that sound rearranges some of your neurons so that you can listen to Never Gonna Give You Up whenever you read this
It’s still there, it’s just in the past now.
After you listen to a song, the secret police from the RIAA come and lock it up in a small, dank cell given minimal sustenance, until the next time they can send it to some seedy hotel, suburban home, or automobile, to turn a trick and make them some more money, like some sort of whoo-re for the ears.
In your ears
