These "things" that can't be measured aren't "things", they're perceptions. All the audio "things" that are actually "things" can be measured. So, the science you're probably looking for is therefore Psychology, although the science of Psycho-acoustics deals with some of them.



Yes, science can and does know everything about audio and how it works. How you ever seen inside say and ADC or DAC, are they empty boxes filled with invisible magic or do they contain electronic circuits and chips which follow the rules of science? What we don't know "everything about" is what all humans PERCEIVE when experiencing sound waves produced from the audio.



If that were possible, then so much of the audiophile nonsense posted here would simply not exist in the first place. Unfortunately though, what you suggest is not possible, because human beings don't perceive/experience sound from (only) their ears, it's always filtered/processed by their brain. If that were not the case, then music would not exist!

You see how many people who blow through Sound Science saying things that should be jokes, but they believe them in deadly earnest. It's easy to miss irony in text, especially with all the bozos on this bus.
