Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?


Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.

Why is it so?

in case you haven’t noticed, science fails to fully explain many important things in life, in the universe - man is smart, but there is still a very long ways to go to explain everything that we desire to understand

I couldn't agree more. I created the topic after continuously reading pundits extolling science as the deciding factor in all thing audio.

What makes you think your claim is true?

Consciousness is the seat of sound experience....No tool can replace it... And the ears is at the same time a tool and a learned conciousness of its own...The end point of all other tools in audio...





I am not sure that Bach will be pleased to be listened to only by robots one day after the "singularity event"....They will finely comment the counterpoint i am sure, but about the main motif and motivation of Bach music, the adoration of God, i am less certain....

Oups! i forgot that for our "sunday club scientism skeptic boys" God did not exist, then the robot comentaries will be meaningful no doubt without the non sensical Bach theology....

"Intelligent" Tool producing music and listening to it will be perfect without "subjectivist" ears....
