I really should know better than to post in this thread - but when I read this I snapped. Quarks and leptons have a rather dramatic influence on what we hear - because all matter (such as speakers, air, ears, brains, even Bybee filters) is composed of them! But quantum indeterminacy has no effect whatsoever on music, unless your hearing is accurate to one part in 10^23... -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
