“Ultimately it increases entropy… let me tell you about the heat death of the universe…”
“No, Mom! I’m still afraid of the False Vacuum monster laying underneath my ground state!”
If those were likely to happen during our lifetime then they would have already. Now prion disease…
Good night!

Elect-ro-weak and Higgs field
Staying in a false staaaate
Tun-nel, tun-nel, it alllll falls dowwwwwnThen there are no mass-es
And, more, no inter-act-ions
Mass-less, mass-less, no a-toms nowwwwI listened to this in my head, where did it go?
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.
Yes, this answer, the kid fucked around (asked questions), now it’s time to find out.
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.
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?
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.
Everyone knows this duh!
Into your heart!
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.
Emphasis on the 5, tho.
Like, to the next town over, or even further?
Only way to find out is to get there faster.
But gets slower and more tired as he runs, until he dies?
Where does the light go when you flip the switch?
Check your fridge.

Hello lightness my new friend
It goes into your memory. That’s why you can remember a song that you heard before.
That’s why music works at all.
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
In your ears
It stays in our brain and we subconsciously put it into new music years later, thereby keeping the industry’s corporate lawyers in cocaine for future decades to come.
It dissipates into the air like butterflies, or a cloud of dust.
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.
