One would think so, right?
However, the antimatter experts are not sure, hence Alpha three.
Alpha two was used for laser spectroscopy, anti hydrogen spectra is same as hydrogen.

the term used -- anti - sets one up to think a certain way. But it is matter.

Perhaps it will be found that one is just a mirror or reflection from the other... the symmetry and balance thing at work.

Couldn't say one way or another. Perhaps the worlds leading experts should have called you first? It would have saved them a lot of time, and me a lot of headaches...they chose a very unruly superconductor cable, the bending modulus is very non linear and extremely left/right assymetrical.

I just wonder how they can say the universe is all matter? If a galaxy a bazillion light years away were entirely antimatter, how would we know?

If you want to have good recordings and good music..... from all over the world.... try these people....

I may have to check it out. But I still have untold amounts of previous releases to explore in the vinyl world, for world music. I suspect the vinyl is a better option since it reaches back to dates that weren't so globalized in many of the places.

Depends on how close we are in the neighborhood to see the sparks fly when an anti - galaxy cosies up with a "normal" galaxy. I can only imagine the amount of energy being released from that sector of the sky.

Would have saved a lot of money also. Just remember you heard it here first. 🙂) Because worlds leading experts can only be experts on what they know... not experts on what they dont know.

BTW -- when/how long until they have thier answere with this machine?

Dimitri, thanks again for putting up the Innerfidelity website with Bob Katz, (and probably others as well) giving me WONDERFUL INFO based on his experience and commitment to high quality audio. He has already saved me multiple hours of concern about what direction to go in some designs, and he has independently verified some headphone comparisons I have done myself. He is a mixing engineer who does a lot of recordings that I use as my references. It is wonderful to get his opinions directly. I don't suppose than many others will find it as useful, because they do not do audio design for a living, like I do, but that's their problem.
 
You people have been getting too weird and incoherent!

Music does seem to need some repetition combined with or punctuated by some surprise. Without the surprise it is boring. Without the repetition it is noise more than music. All this based on fairly recent research by musicologists who have taken interest in experimental psychology methodologies. 'Sweet Anticipation' is one book in that area. Being a book there is a lot more to it than my very, overly brief summary.

It's not a new idea but very cool:

’’1/f noise’’ in music: Music from 1/f noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 63, 258 (1978); https://doi.org/10.1121/1.381721
"
The spectral density of fluctuations in the audio power of many musical selections and of English speech varies approximately as 1/f (f is the frequency) down to a frequency of 5×10−4 Hz. This result implies that the audio‐power fluctuations are correlated over all times in the same manner as ’’1/f noise’’ in electronic components. The frequency fluctuations of music also have a 1/f spectral density at frequencies down to the inverse of the length of the piece of music.
...
The observations on music suggest that 1/f noise is a good choice for stochastic composition. Compositions in which the frequency and duration of each note were determined by 1/f noise sources sounded pleasing. Those generated by white‐noise sources sounded too random, while those generated by 1/f2 noise sounded too correlated.

Fractal Musical Rhythms

One of Martin Gardner's collections of his Mathematical Games columns from Scientific American is titled Fractal Music, Hypercards and More... The title article "White, Brown, and Fractal Music" is all about how the pitch structure of different types of music can be easily distinguished by the human ear.

Musical rhythm spectra from Bach to Joplin obey a 1/f power law

Much of our enjoyment of music comes from its balance of predictability and surprise. Musical pitch fluctuations follow a 1/f power law that precisely achieves this balance. Musical rhythms, especially those of Western classical music, are considered highly regular and predictable, and this predictability has been hypothesized to underlie rhythm's contribution to our enjoyment of music.

Are musical rhythms indeed entirely predictable and how do they vary with genre and composer? To answer this question, we analyzed the rhythm spectra of 1,788 movements from 558 compositions of Western classical music. We found that an overwhelming majority of rhythms obeyed a 1/fβ power law across 16 subgenres and 40 composers, with β ranging from ∼0.5–1. Notably, classical composers, whose compositions are known to exhibit nearly identical 1/f pitch spectra, demonstrated distinctive 1/f rhythm spectra: Beethoven's rhythms were among the most predictable, and Mozart's among the least.
