p.s. phys.org is a news aggregator of science oriented press releases. It is not where one does scientific research.
That is not a quality deflection, IMO.
One finds the press release and one investigates.
That is how it works, if one has to deal with multiple fields. Not physorg specifically, but with science news aggregators. No one can read all the journals, there are too many of them and the fields intertwine too much to find it all in one area.
I hold this to be obvious, so your comment is strangely placed -to the logical and capable mind...
Physorg is a place where cross field feeding can be easily found, so it is a gold mine for translatable and transferable ideas and understandings that can illuminate in multiple connected fields.
Like Heinlein said, ’specialization is for insects’.
eg, speaker design crosses pretty well seven different branches of established engineering/physics. anyone can put a extant cheap radio speaker in a cardboard box ...
Or get into the complex build and physics of lets say...nanotechnology...or molecular bonding, and multiple branches of physics and science, a near unspeakable level of complexity..... all to build a cone, which will be dealing with complex forces in a complex motor in a complex environment.
Thus seven different branches of physics have to be mastered as a flowing intertwined set, to make the best that can be in the realm of loudspeakers. It requires, in olden terms, a ’renaissance man’, and in modern terms, an ’absolute unit’.
The question is, does the opinion and experience of the average of the bell curve in humans, does it possess the ability to tell the difference?
Yes, by simply listening and buying what they like.
But if one does the hard work, the involved work, and is called a charlatan (regardless of the perceived quality of the speaker [or amp, or cable, etc]) well...what then?
How to respond to an ignorance that does not possess the capacity to clear itself? There is no effective humane answer found for that one, as of yet -and likely never will be.
