Heat. Everything ends up as heat.
Where does the music go?

Until the day that even heat dies.
lauha@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Well, heat just spread over a larger area but it doesn’t get destroyer nor turn into any other form of energy.
Disgracefulone@discuss.online 1 year ago
Well not all sound.
But yes 99.99%
modus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So where do smells go?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Just open a window. I’m sure they noticed, but they’ll be cool about it.

they get trapped in your nose hairs, this is why old people have really stinky noses.

“soul”
lmfao.

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
BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Beautiful. We are just one of many instruments that express the music.
Detheroth@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
That gave me some real Alan Watts vibes. If this came from your own brain, be proud of this comment. Beautifully worded and inspiring.
BilboBargains@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

Where does the light go when you flip the switch?
Check your fridge.

It gets stuck in my head for 3 to 4 days until something newer comes along and pushes it out.
art@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It rolls up into the other side of the cassette. Just flip it over.
angrystego@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought the sentense 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.

Now do a “Calvin’s Dad” explanation.
Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
When eli2000BCE? Coming out
Tho needith explanation to the highest degree
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Emphasis on the 5, tho.
espentan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Like, to the next town over, or even further?
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Only way to find out is to get there faster.
Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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

Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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!
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 year ago
False, it gets stuck in my head, to be played over and over until the next song gets stuck in my head.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A little bit reflexts off your eardrumm too!
madjo@feddit.nl 1 year ago
It goes into your memory. That’s why you can remember a song that you heard before.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s why music works at all.
theneverfox@pawb.social 1 year ago
It keeps traveling. If you splash some water, where does the wave go? Same question - it terms into something you can no longer see or hear… It never goes away. It becomes part of the world, forever
Music is what you hear - but it was only ever sound waves
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 year ago
We subconsciously put it into new music years later and thereby keep the industry’s corporate lawyers in cocaine for future decades to come.

Oh, dear child, it goes to the same place where you will go when you inevitably die one day: into complete non-existence, save for an echo in others’ minds, and after a while not even that.
Sweet dreams!

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.

Some of that sound rearranges some of your neurons so that you can listen to Never Gonna Give You Up whenever you read this
leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 1 year ago
the music goes back again to be later re streamed to other people that might need it
jafo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

It dissipates into the air like butterflies, or a cloud of dust.

Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
A quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
OpenStars@discuss.online 1 year ago
It goes out into the world, to be merged alongside all of the other sounds, until it can be recycled as “new” music and you can enjoy it again:-).

I listened to this in my head, where did it go?
InputZero@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So scientists are not entirely certain about the heat death of the universe. The heat death is the most reasonable prediction given what we know but there could be a force acting across the universe that may very slowly reverse the expansion of the universe that we have yet to discover and cause a big crunch over a ridiculously large amount of time. The fact is predictions that far in the future aren’t really very useful.

I read a SciFi book where there was a group in the world that does general science in the name of averting the heat death of the universe.
