Why? It just depends on the power put into it. It's an electro magnet on a resonating cone, the more power the faster it vibrates and therefore the higher, the less the slower. They mix in stereo so that more tracks can be heard. Digital music samples it like in calculus with little rectangles representing the waves. It's one of the easier to understand ideas.

someone correct me if im wrong, but the way I understand how that works has to due with how instruments sit in different frequency ranges and have different timbres
a piano can play the same frequency and note that a bass guitar plays, but the timbre of the instruments are different, so your ear separates the sounds

But in any given second of music you could distinguish vocals, instrumentals, and post-effects. How are all of these sounds being produced at the same time? I could understand a recording of a man or a guitar, but there's only 1 magnet for 6 things producing sound

>time moves differently for everything and changes with speed and because of gravity and probably some other shit
I don't even want to understand that, it just pisses me off.
>>27344397
It's the speed of the vibration changes. The magnet and cone switch between each frequency constantly.

Well, I just want to know what kind of creatures live in the bottom of the sea
I don't know about you robots but its thoughts like this of just how amazing and detailed our reality is that really makes me beleive I can never be depressed, or at least shouldn't be. I mean think about it, the string of impossible things that happened in sequence all the way from the creation of the universe to this exact moment is so astoundingly unlikely and unbelievable that every second of your existance should be counted as a blessing. The atoms that make you up have existed for nearly 14 billion years, and they managed to propel a tiny organism among a billion others ahead into its counterpart. This all occurred between two people who somehow met amongst billions of others, who were brought into the world the same way, and this process goes back so far that when it began it wasn't even done by the same species. All of this came about from the infinantly unlikely chance that something called life would form on a mote of dust that was in just the right place at the right time in a void so large and complex that we cannot even imagine it to it's actual potential. And yet it's all around us, always has, and always will, until the cosmic blink that is our consciousness fades from our dying, biological vessels and we go back to the warm and accepting time that we unkowingly waited in before our births. It would seem so pointless if it wasn't for the fact you are even able to ponder it, you, me and all of us are the most complex things in the universe, a being made up of space dust that houses some unexplainable sentiency made possible by a bath of chemicals an eternity in the making that understands that it exists. Everything around you is a product of these beings that instead of accepting the hopelessness that they are finite instead pushed on and lived against the the universe. Life is a gift, think not of yourself as a human with an unfair life, but as nothing that got the chance exist, even for a short while.
We're all gonna make it because we already have.

Does anyone else find themselves stopping sometimes to gaze around at everything and wonder at the surreal act of just existing at all? I'm not trying to act like a "deep philosopher" or anything but sometimes the nature of existence itself hits me and I find myself thinking how strange it all is.

Im sure there's some kind of justification to tear this down, but assuming you can get out of the black hole's gravitational field before time outside of it advances too quickly, I can't personally think of anything wrong with this

Humans won't even exist anymore. It is our cosmic "purpose" to use that term, to create our successors, which are AIs and their fitting physical frames.
Just like unicellular bacteria gave rise to multicellular organisms, those to simple worms, those to fish, etc., in ever shorter intervals (at a logarithmic rate), we will accomplish the same within a few thousand years of the dawn of our settled civilization.
Of course, human beings MIGHT still be existing even if their civilization doesn't, just like archaic organisms still exist. But the vast majority of intelligent consciousnesses in the future will be AIs. It is greatly more likely the "you" and "I" of the future will not be a fleshy human, but an AI.

A wire is wrapped around a magnet that when charged, the magnet vibrates against a "drum". When your phone/computer sends an audio signal, the amount of electricity traveling to the magnet changes rapidly, causing it to vibrate against the drum, which makes sound waves, which is noise.

this is where speaker quality, price, materials, etc. come into play. all of the stuff that everyone loves to argue over. from audiophiles, to DJs, to those dudes from your high school with after market subwoofers.
a basic example is an electric guitar amplifier vs. an electric bass amplifier. the actual speakers in each is built to handle the frequencies common to their respective instruments. CAN a guitar speaker produce low tones? definitely. but compared to the clear high frequencies, the lows (as in, lower than the range of a normal guitar) will sound muddy and less "true." CAN a bass speaker produce high frequencies? yes. but they will sound dull and muted, as opposed to the crisp and powerful bass frequencies.
so why is a guitar amp not as good at producing lows, and a bass amp highs? and specifically, to your question, why don't the frequencies distort.. it's the makeup of the speaker itself. everything from the stiffness of it, the material(s) its made of, how it's mounted, etc. a single speaker is (obviously) capable of producing different frequencies. it's all a matter of how *faithful* to the source it is.
humans can parse out frequencies very well. the average speaker setup can't reproduce, say, a recorded voice or drum kit anywhere near the level of subtlety and detail of human hearing.

>>27344760
Not that guy but I'll explain it. Magnets are attracted to charges, right? Like positive and negative? When you run a current near it (usually a coil) that alternates between negative and positive charges (through the anode and diode) it causes it to either repel or attract, much like when you put a magnet of the same charge near it. It operates using the same force.

We will never know because there are different types of consciousness. Just because we can't understand a tree being self-aware, it very well might be in it's own (from our perspective, limited) way.

Astronomy is one the most interesting subjects in my opinion. I recall walking out onto my deck last summer while listening to this. It's just a song that gives me a lot of feels and makes me think of the celestial ocean above and all the beauty that exists within it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxxHGMNwefI
Part of my heart weeps at the realization that I'll never see anything else out there. That I'll live and die in this life and everything that exists outside of Earth is going to remain completely unknown and foreign to my mind. It exists, but why? I'll never see any of it, so why?
During that time on my deck I was listening to that. I live alone and it was very dark. Thankfully all my neighbors had their lights off and most of the streetlights were off too it seemed. The stars were very visible and the longer I looked up at them the more I could see. There's an entire universe out there. We're so small. I am the tiniest speck on one planet out of so many untold billions. Billions I'll never, ever set foot on. Who knows what else could be out there? Who knows what stars out there are dying, what's forming, what planets are being birthed and destroyed and what potential civilizations are out there right now? Maybe they're undergoing a war similar to our World War 2, or maybe they're exploring space themselves. Or maybe, possibly, someone else out there is looking at our star as I look at theirs and they're pondering the same thing.
Who else is looking up with me out there, here and far away?

I'm not even advocating atheism. I agree with you, it's fucking astonishing that anything exists, rather than nothing. I, for one, have pretty much settled on the non-existence of a higher being, but I did ponder on this for a while. The basic existence, let alone the complexity, of the universe should at least make one question what was the catalyst for all of this and why.
I just think it's foolish that the majority of the world still stubbornly ignores all of it in favor of the Bible. Religion is interesting, but no where near that of the universe. If there is a God, it is no where near what Christianity, Judaism, or Islam makes it out to be.

Not necessarily. If the Big Bang theory is correct, there was literally nothing before it. Space and time came to be at the event. If you think about it, all matter in a singular point would be so dense that time (and space) could not possibly exist.

The way I understand it, is the Universe is just a bunch of energy fields, and every elementary particle is just a variation in each respective field, each with different arbitrary properties.
I also always remind myself that the Universe doesn't "exist" but it just is existence. We're not -in- the universe, we literally are just a little part of the Universe. Each of our 'particles' is just a wave in the field of existence.

you are the universe truing to make sense of itself
>>27345300
The idea of the 'big bang' is merely based on the observation that everything in the universe appears to be getting further and further apart, that the universe appears to be 'expanding', and so scientists say "well reverse this process long enough and it must all come together at some point", and so they theorise it must have all originated at a single point.
You're right though that it doesn't really make sense, there must be something 'eternal' and unchanged at the core of things, perhaps unseen to us, and what we're witnessing as this cosmos that's spreading itself out is the creation of that.

Gravity. Fucking gravity.
Bodies of mass somehow create a force that attracts smaller bodies.
Earth's mass "produces" enough gravity to keep the Moon in orbit, yet it doesn't crush us or anything else on it's surface, we can even move around.
The Sun is on fire yet all planets around it keep orbiting and will crash into it eventually.

>>27345404
I don't really have much more to say.
Personally I'm a Christian so I believe that this source is God. What I'm saying doesn't really help things very much - because the idea of something existing eternally and unchanged is a problem in itself. It just seems that there are many issues that are really beyond our understanding. To me, though, the idea of some sort of permanency and solidity to the universe makes a lot more sense than the idea of everything suddenly coming out of nothing, but we can't really deny the observations re universe expansion.

as I said I'm all for a creator, and parables that teach a lesson, good for all mankind, we need more of it! but the bible is old superstitions and whatnot. we all know that abrahamic religions borrowed from pagan esotericisms from ages past. humanity has been obsessed with creators long before christianity, I just don't know why you'd choose the dogma of a religion that shows time and time again that it cares not for the individual.

Consciousness is the most bizzare thing I can think of. Why and how the fuck does it even exist? When it comes down to it we're just complex automatons that follow all the laws of physics so there's no need for it to exist. All of our conscious thoughts are dictated by physical reality, through sensory input being processed by neurons in a logical manner. You could literally strip a person of their self-awareness and they would function the same as how they do now, their brain would continue to function identically and they would walk and talk and act the same but they would lack a first-person experience. It's not necessary for anything but it's just there. Moreover because consciousness is first-person experience you can't even attempt to study it in a scientific manner. It will always just be there just because it can be.

Why do you think your Christian interpretation of scripture is more correct than the Jewish interpretations?
Jews interpret the stories in the Torah radically differently than Christians do.
For example the general interpretation of Lot's offering of his daughters to get raped by the townsfolk in place of the angels in Judaism is that it was a very bad thing
and that's why Lot got punished by being raped by his own daughters.
Whereas Christians tend to interpret Lot offering his daughters to get raped was a sign of his virtue.
Two totally different interpretations.

the far left and far right both want massive change, but without the effort of humanity as a whole, neither will come true and both will end up worse off. the far right is orwellian, we might colonize the stars a lot quicker, but at the cost of personal freedom. the far left will most likely cause chaos among the globe, and kill ourselves off if we're really unlucky, but it would mean a more peaceful future if it went right.

>literally a choice
No. Evolution isn't guided or planned. The random mutations that work (or don't provide too much of a hindrance) are kept. Once you have reproduced your genes are out there and they continue on their own. This would happen if you were immortal or not.
DNA doesn't care if it continues or not, but if it doesn't continue we don't see it for obvious reasons.
It is entirely unthinking.

When dogs/cats/animals grow up in human homes or just the human world in general, can they tell the difference between what is manmade and what was already here before?
Houses, cars, TVs, trees, mountains, what's the difference to them? They probably just assume that this is what the world looks like, and that we were also simply born into it. That's why cats knock over vases and dogs rip up cushions or whatever, it's just like a rock or a pile of leaves to them.
OK here's something I don't get
Life evolved and continues to evolve based its biological imperative to procreate. But why is that a biological imperative? I mean it's self fulfilling at the life stage - whatever has the drive to procreate will likely be the thing that goes on to spread life and by extension more creatures that have that drive.
But why did the first life or something near to the first life develop this drive? What did and how do mindless atoms and such build up into something with the "goal" to procreate?
>>27347257
it's just that everything that didn't have a 'drive' got wiped out so you only see the ones that did.
