    “Ultimately it increases entropy… let me tell you about the heat death of the universe…”

      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.

          Ah yes, the ol’ “If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?” approach to preventing the death of the universe.

              Existence is in the eye of the beholder. For something to exist it must be observed.

              It sounds like in the book you read performing general science would go towards observing the universe preventing its heat death?

              I dunno if fully applicable, but that’s what I got out of it :D

      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!

    If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they’re better left unsung I don’t know, don’t really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow

    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

    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.

    It goes into your memory. That’s why you can remember a song that you heard before.
