Saxophones "acoustics - why is a saxophone like a violin" including an alternative take on "the missing cone"

[Targa]

But you won't know when.
And not a watch that shows day and date. Nor, indeed, a digital or electric watch.
Also a clock that's fractionally fast or slow may only be right once a year or decade or century...
... And even a working watch or clock: How do you know you've set the right time? Set it wrong by a picosecond and it'll never be right... I mean, really, what is "The Right Time" now, anyway?

Which just goes to demonstrate the old Adage:
"Adages aren't wisdom"

Science...as far as we know.🤔

Someone could, at least, have answered "whether they rhythm section is playing" 🙂

Know or believe

Science is a belief ...

Science is a belief which gets changed frequently.

FIrst you have to believe that the scientists are correct.

Science is a (fact based) method that can be very useful for studying things. It can come up with an explanation why something works, reacts, behaves, .... in a certain way.
It may or may not be correct but it is often the best explanation available. Until something crops up that shows it's that that explanation or theory isn't correct or complete. That is the moment where science has to reexamine the existing theories, set up new experiments to refine the theory or come up with a completely different explanation....

Most advanced in science are not preceded but the words 'eureka I have fount it' but more frequently by the words 'hey, that is strange...'

That's what I said that you 'disagreed' with.
People believe 'facts' or a theory until they have to change their minds which happens frequently.

Thee point that I want to make is that one should never 'believe' science. One can accept it as a working theory, but you should never 'believe' it.
I agree that it's a matter of semantics.

 

[Colin the Bear]

Semantics is humanities not Science.

Semantics is humanities not Science.

Some. Not the bit that comes under maths and logic. Or computer science. Maybe congnative or psychological. But, yeah, the vague, wooly bit.

 

[Woodpad]

Semantics is humanities not Science.

The words semantics, humanities and science have several different meanings. If you multiply the numbers of meanings you have a large number of possible interpretations of this sentence. But that is semantics.

Here is a slow-mo of a violin being bowed... Helmholtz'z original work.

Wooo, ASA. Thanks for that, I enjoyed it. It's easy to forget the modes are an abstraction, and to start to believe that infinite sum is really there, one at a time...

(In a former life, I was regularly exhorted to produce something JASA might publish. Alas, I was never that profound 🙂 ).
