Audiophiles and the discovery of new physics

[Jud]

Thanks Paul, the article had a nice explanation for my question.

 

I grew up reading this kind of stuff, my father, a Marine in WWII in the south Pacific, never went to college, worked as a machinist at GE, must have been a scientist in a former life because the house was full of magazines with similar kinds of articles. Didn't matter if it was astronomy, biology, geology, etc, it all interested him. We had books by Darwin, Audubon, Luther Burbank, and more, a rather big library. I gave him a copy of Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" for Christmas one year and he devoured it. He had music in his life too, he was a fan of opera! And he was a pretty decent chess player!

 

He had me beat there - the few times I tried when I was young, I was a horrible chess player.

I own both these books, but have yet to find time to read them.

 

Much better to see in person! She's a terrific speaker even when most of the audience doesn't get her jokes!
