was it invented or discovered? Where was it before it was dis-covered? Who discovered it? Is it a thing with a location? When it travels through our hifi cables, is it fully contained in there? How does this result in glorious analog hifi sound for our ears? Lots of other questions of course, but I'm just learning about this stuff, thought I'd put it out there for more educated members to help the rest of us understand exactly what it is that allows us to enjoy music? Can we really understand it? These are simple childlike questions so bear that in mind and just feel free to play with these questions and maybe come up with some others.

I'd  suggest you start here, Volume 2.

If it's too difficult try wikipedia.

no links please. I'm trying to start a discussion, not an independent link search. And I want to start at basics, even wikepedia is too far down the road and abobv my abilities. I'm starting at step 1. Can you answer any of the questions posed in post 1? I appreciate your time...and no insults please. thx

If you admit that you don't know what is electricity, you should also admit that you are not the right person to decide whether cable burn in changes anything, maybe time to take the advice from someone who knows his electrons from his donut. lol

You said no links. On the internet. Like someone is going to jump in and start a lecture on electricity starting from 3rd grade. Typing it all out by himself, mind. I consider myself one of the most helpful souls on the internet but not that helpful, sorry!

 

[thelostMIDrange]

alright man, how about just answer one question, where was it before it was discovered?

 

[limpidglitch]

MIT OCW is also a good start.


 
As for when it was discovered, around 600BCE according to Lewin here.

thanks i'll watch that, looks like good stuff. but where was it before it was discovered, not when.. does it require a certain atmosphere? or an atmosphere at all?
 
I was asking for us to play with ideas. Does anyone know how to play? with ideas?

Where was gravity before before the first man got a coconut on his head?

 

[thelostMIDrange]

now we're getting some where. it was there wasn't it.....is there anything else 'there' that we haven't discovered do you think? or have we found it all?

If only we could go back before the Planck time when all the forces were united and life was simpler!

 

[limpidglitch]

  …have we found it all?

 
I hope not. Else CERN et al. would have been a great waste.

 

[thelostMIDrange]

ok, that's a bit too far back. have you read any thing by stew hameroff who theorizes consciousness is generated from the fine structure of the plank scale?

 

[thelostMIDrange]

not just energy, but other 'discoveries'.....have we discovered them all. If they are 'there' and we have one example of it being there before we discovered it is it possible there is something else 'there' still undiscovered?
