honest to god i hate the fairly odd parents SO much why the fuck did TIMMY FUCKING TURNER get god damn fairies?? both his parents love him…. he lives in an upper middle class household…. his only problem is that he has a kind of mean baby sitter sometimes…. AND THEN you look at fuckin chester. his friend chester…. oh my god. this boy deserves fairies so much more… he lives in literal poverty, his dad is UNIVERSALLY HATED so much so that he wears a bag over his face bc he cant even show his face in public without being harassed… and this guy doesnt deserve fairies? are u serious? did u think i wouldnt fuckin notice that shit? did u seriously think i didnt see chester mcbadbat standing right there next to timmy stupid ass turner? chester eats from the fucking GARBAGE CAN. im sorry but i cannot believe for one second that timmy deserves fairies more than chester, who is the sweetest kindest person on the whole damn show and he gets shat on constantly by the universe and the fact that his friend timmy gets god parents and not him is like the icing on the fucking cake huh, the last slap in the face from the universe to confirm to chester that life sucks…. listen chester i am here for you and i love you even when the rest of the world doesnt… i WILL protect you

like you can tell me all you want how the sound is stored in the grooves but fucking H O W 

HOW DOES THAT GET INTO THE NEEDLE

HOW ARE THE VIBRATIONS TURNED INTO MUSIC THAT YOU CAN HEAR???

H O W

[disparition]

The vibrations aren’t “turned into” music, they are music. When vibrations occur inside your inner ear, your brain processes this as sound.

The grooves in a record are an analogy for these vibrations, a method of remembering them so that they can be recreated later on. 

Put your hand on a speaker while loud music is playing and you’ll feel the vibrations. Those are exactly the same vibrations happening inside your ear when you hear the music. 

But how do you capture that? 

Take a surface that vibrates strongly when a sound is played, like the skin of a drumhead for example. Connect that surface to a little tool - when sound causes the surface to vibrate, the tool digs a little bit into some wax, leaving behind a pattern that matches - in proportion - the vibrations of the surface caused by the sound. This is your analogy (hence: analog music). 

Now, when there’s no sound playing, you run that little tool back over the pattern. This causes the skin to vibrate again, this time in response to the tool running over the pattern instead of because of an external sound. The vibrations should match, proportionally, the original vibrations of the music.. and thus these new vibrations, if you were to amplify them, would be a recreation or “recording” of the original music. 

That’s oversimplified of course and things have changed a lot since the days of wax, but that is very basically how the process of recording music worked at first, and the general idea of how sound gets from a groove in a record into your brain.

Thank you Science side of tumblr

[burndownmiddletown-deactivated2]

I hugely appreciate people taking to the time explain stuff like this, as it helps put an end to the “wow, science is magic!” trope that’s become far too common.

i work at a gym largely frequented by older women, and today as one of them left after her workout she accidentally pulled the entire door handle off and just slowly looked at her bicep in horror as if she was terrified of her new strength. it was beautiful.
