Alright guys, get ready...  Because this is freaking crazy.

So...

This is how it is...

...
...
...

There are more possible five minute combinations of sounds (songs, piece, work, whatever you wanna call it) that are within the human Audio frequency spectrum than there are all of the atoms in 787,500 UNIVERSES!!!

So freaking take every single atom in this universe, and multiply it by 787,500.

...

Firstly, the audio spectrum is continuous, not quantized, so there are an infinite number of pitches leading to an infinite number of combinations (infinity factorial or thereabouts) which is a bigger number than I believe you are suggesting.

Also, who counted the atoms in the universe and what makes them so sure that other universes will have a similar number?

Isn't the theory that the universe is expanding exponentially anyway..?  or does it do that with a finite number of atoms..?

The amount of matter and energy in the universe is supposed to be constant. Since matter can be converted to energy and atoms can split, the count may change. But the expanding does not mean expanding of matter.

That is a suspiciously small number of atoms....considering there is at most a billion songs...unless there are other organisms in a parallel universe that write "songs"

Well anyways, here's another good one.

So the hotter an object gets, the shorter the weavelength of the radiation it emits gets.

So anyways, if an object were to get hotter than 1.41x10^32 kelvin, it would be hotter than temperature!  Soo hot that what it is wouldn't be considered a temperature.

Because the wavelength that object would emit is shorter than the shortest distance in the universe (Planck distance).

Dude what the freaking heck is going on here?!

Wouldn't it be energetic enough to disintegrate atomically well before then? Ie, become just photons? How would you hold it and keep heating it?

Just smash a bunch of particles in particle accelerator.

We've reached a couple exakelvin at CERN.

But we haven't been able to get to the point where you get to the Planck distance.

That would be soooo cool!

Because theoretically you can always add ex energy to make it hotter, and the wavelength of the radiation would get shorter.  But wait, the Planck distance is the shortest distance in the universe!  So what the freaking heck would happen!  Would it become hotter...  Than temperature?

Perhaps you should calculate the size of the accelerator required before you say "just".

Isn't the LHC at CERN like 7 miles long?  

It accelerates the particles at 99.999% the speed of light.  

Of course you can always power up the magnets right?

Sure you can, but since you can't go faster the than the speed of light, the extra energy manifests itself in to weight.  So the particles actually becomes heavier, and they travel into the future.

Correct, but there is a limit to the power you can apply so to impart more energy they need to be longer, that's why they keep building (or at kleast dreaming about) new ones.

If you mean that as the speed of a body approaches c it experiences relativistic time, mass and length dilation then, yes.  Not exactly travelling into the future, though.

One side effect of the mass dilation is that as a body approaches the speed of light the energy required to accelerate it (make it go any faster than it is) increases exponentially.

Isn't the theory that the universe is expanding exponentially anyway..?  or does it do that with a finite number of atoms..?

Not expanding exponentially, but accelerating nonetheless. Recently, a niche theory is starting to gain popularity that contradicts the popular 'dark matter' theory of acceleration. It's more simply that gravity acts different in different environments.

If I remember correctly...

One side effect of the mass dilation is that as a body approaches the speed of light the energy required to accelerate it (make it go any faster than it is) increases exponentially.

The way around that is the (theoretical) Alcubierre drive. It warps space time around an object so it doesn't actually move, but the space around it contracts in front and expands behind allowing you to effectively be transplanted faster than c while not experiencing time dilation (theoretically ~10c). It was proposed in the 90's and has had some incredible theoretical advances over the time span. The issue is that (in theory) it takes an astronomical amount of energy. When originally proposed it took more energy than exists in the universe. Other mathematicians reduced that several solar masses, then the mass-energy of Jupiter. A guy last year reduced it to 700kg of mass-energy. Neat stuff. Problem is that it requires negative energy...

Oh, and in regards to time travel, a twisted application of this drive has weird side effects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasnikov_tube
My favorite sentence:
"It is presumed that a similar mechanism which destroys time-machine wormholes will destroy the time-machine Krasnikov tubes. That is, vacuum fluctuation will grow exponentially and eventually destroy the Second Krasnikov tube as it approaches the timelike loop limit, in which causality is violated."

Ah, gotcha.

More negative energy I believe. From what I understand it's just the alcubierre drive applied to an actual physical tube, so that it decreases the energy requirement. Completely impractical as it needs actual physical mass. Imagine building a tunnel to mars. Now imagine building a tunnel to the nearest star and then double that if you want to theoretically time travel through a theoretically impractical object. Theoretically.

Haha, you'd be going on a date with me and Beethoven at the same time because I have a huge tattoo portrait of him on my arm and he stares! Is that not odd? Lol

 Did you know ive been working on recording chopin ballade 1 and 2 all morning and am feeling totally exhausted?
I played all the way to the last 3 pages in 5.5 minutes o_O but it totally sucked.

I've seen the wonderful tattoo of him. A very accurate depiction :) It wouldn't be odd unless it was tattooed in a way that you could make him wink at me. That might be creepy :o

This is why I would whine the entire time. After twenty years I'm still struggling with 'Mary had a little lamb' :-[

Well, I wish I could do that! I wish I could make him talk, like a sick siamese twin or something, lol

Haha, well im fixing to loose an arm probably. My recordings are due in 2 hours and I cant play anymore, I'm tired and sore.  >:(
I got a good Bach take but I cant dang play any Chopin!

Did you know that Prokofiev beat Capablanca in a game of chess? Capablanca was one of the greatest chess players of all time.
