Do your ears deceive you?

@kevn-

                                                  Every post = +1 

                                              and: worth revisiting.

                                          It helps, to love the journey!

                                                   Happy listening!

Ted Denney, a high school dropout with no technical training is "Quantum Tunneling" his products, and I am the flat-earther.

                                    Thomas Edison's education:

   https://www.nps.gov/edis/learn/historyculture/edison-biography.htm

       HOWEVER: he had a plethora of Scientists and Inventors (ie: Nikola Tesla, for a time) in the employ*, at Menlo Park.

          *means: WORKING FOR A COMPANY, for the more obtuse reader.

       Ted Denney owns a COMPANY, that manufactures some excellent and efficacious products.  He's been offering an unconditional, money-back trial period, to purchasers, since the 1980s (don't like it = don't buy it), that makes one's listening experiment (as previously mentioned), fairly painless.

                                    Quantum Tunneling:

                          An example application of the principle:

                             Like I said, earlier in the thread:

        At the very first mention of something as simple as Wave Function (a BASIC tenet of Quantum Mechanics), the Cargo Cult will label you a KOOK.

        But remember: they can only view/understand you, based on their limited experience, education and BIASES.

      OH WELL: let the primitives (ie: the vapid/Undynamic Duo above) go build a another runway!

                                        Happy listening! 

      Many cable manufacturers are using the results, regarding the following mentioned science, as guidance in building cables for audio systems.

        The only experimentation left for one to do, is try them in their own system/home and determine if they make a difference in their own listening experience.

                                            Another rerun:

       That the studies of QM and QED have been revolutionizing virtually every branch of Science, since the early 1900s, has been firmly established.

                                          That's called, "HISTORY"!

        Not to mention the multitude of modern inventions, that are the results of the same.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_quantum_mechanics#:~:text=Examples%20include%20the%20laser%2C%20the,systems%2C%20 computer%20and%20telecommunication%20devices.

        The evidence is all around us and ONLY the most obtuse, or: willfully ignorant, could possibly ignore it.

                            To deny the above exemplifies the Dunning-Kruger Effect*!

         Were one needing a thesis submission, to a Psychology Undergraduate Office; the local Naysayer Church would make an excellent case study of the above*.

        The site has yet another runway builder.

         May as well try teaching a box of rocks,

                       To sort your socks!

      Anyone, actually familiar with Richard Feynman's history, should realize: his Nobel was a result of his work in Quantum Electrodynamics  (QED).

       Most of the theories, on which our beloved audio cables are built, are a direct result of that work.

                                     As I've posted, numerous times:

                WELL: the Cargo Cult's building another runway.

                                         Time for a rewind:

Cargo cult science is a pseudoscientific method of research that favors evidence that confirms an assumed hypothesis. In contrast with the scientific method, there is no vigorous effort to disprove or delimit the hypothesis.[1] The term cargo cult science was first used by physicist Richard Feynman during his 1974 commencement address at the California Institute of Technology.[1]

Cargo cults are religious practices that have appeared in many traditional tribal societies in the wake of interaction with technologically advanced cultures.

     Do a bit a research and you'll learn those primitives were limited in their understanding, of what they saw with their eyes, based on their prior experience, education and BIASES.

                                                A rewind:

                 It isn't that the Denyin'tologists are ignorant.

               It's they're knowing* so much, that's WRONG.

                       *heart of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

                                              OR, two:

     The Church of the Naysayer Doctrine (like every other faith-based, religious cult) has as many dopes as it does Popes.   

     Bring up anything resembling SCIENCE/PHYSICS, dated later than the 1800’s and they become apoplectic, not having the formal education to comprehend the concepts, or- possible ramifications.    THAT would be hilarious, were it not so pathetic!        

           Gimme That Old Time Religion, Gimme That Old Time Religion, etc.

        At the very first mention of something as simple as Wave Function (a BASIC tenet of Quantum Mechanics), the Cargo Cult will label you a KOOK.

        But remember: they can only view/understand you, based on their limited experience, education and BIASES.

         They have overlooked the fact that, if not for the hypotheses/theories and experimentation, regarding Quantum Mechanics: a plethora of modern conveniences, medical devices and the gear they so love, would not exist.

          Had scientists, chemists and inventors shared the doctrines of the Cargo Cult (Denyin'tologists), there would be no semiconductors, computer chips, LASERs, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging devices (MRIs).

                                         Solid State amps?

                                     OOPS (back to tubes)!

                                        Your Smart Phone?

                                        FA'GET ABOUT IT!

                                         Your car's GPS?

                                                NOPE!

    Then too: some may be willfully ignorant and just enjoy being contentious.

                        Others: obtuse, uneducated*, misinformed?

      *Typically, from what's been exhibited here: H.S. STEM, if that, would be a safe inference.

      Either way: the result, when the Cult begins it's rhetoric is a classic demo of the Dunning- Kruger Effect.

                                          But, I digress: 

       Bring up those pesky details, regarding the likes of QED, Dielectric Absorption, Poynting's theorem and possible application/effects, relative to frequency, that our musical signals are carried via photon or wave, outside the conductor and you're a KOOK?

         Again: the Cargo Cult can only understand anyone with an actual background, experience and education in Physics/QED, based on their beliefs, education, experience and biases

                                      Remember this?

     One anecdote  that some may find interesting: their walks in the woods and how Feynman's father would encourage him to look beyond the fact that something in nature exists, but into why and how.

     It saddened him that while attending college, during a visit home and one of their walks: his dad asked what he was learning in college.

     At that moment, he realized: if he tried to explain what he was learning, there was no way his dad could understand.                               

                            It wasn't an insult or condescension.

                                                Just reality.

                                    Oh well: let 'em go build a runway!

           Einstein got that last one wrong (Quantum Entanglement), BUT- I still wish he'd been alive, when the Hubble Telescope proved, what he considered his, "greatest blunder" (his inability to bring symmetry to his field equation, without lambda)

                                            How about that?

Another example of a hypothesis/theory, with no way to EXPERIMENT/MEASURE, what you're sure must be there, in some detectable way, or another.

     There are many posts, worthy of +1s, in this thread.

      Then: there's the very first post, to which I'll respond.

      Richard Feynman was addressing a graduating class at Cal Tech, which MAY have contained some FUTURE, "...most brilliant scientists in the world..., but: it wasn't a convention of accomplished Physicists, by any stretch of the imagination.    Unless you're a naysayer, trying to make a point and the stretch fits your narrative.
