The effect of the Expanding Universe on turntables

Since the Universe has been continually expanding after the Big Bang, then it stands to reason that all objects have expanded also , but not nessecarily in proper proportion. This means that the turntable you buy today will actually be larger(and contain more mass) at some date in the distant future (20 years?). I have now discovered why I have never had a used turntable (over 100 turntables) that is on accurate 33&1/3 RPM speed, even with quality synchronous motors. This phono-nomenon can only be attributed to the fact that all the motor parts and the platter are now larger and more massive than previously and thus the ratios of pullies and gears is no longer as designed (in the past), this is the only explanation I can offer as to why the speed of old turntables is faster than when new(by a small percent).It also explains why many older mechanical devices never work properly , no matter how well maintaied and repaired.

By what year will my AR XA turn into a Thorens TD-124?

Rnm4: Thank you for clairifying your word meaning.However,if both of you continually confuse "cite" and "site" these two entities may become offended and issue a citation or lawsuit for causing them mental confusion and calling them "stupid". If you could type fast enough and exceed the speed of light you can actually go back in time and make the necessary correction of your mispelling then you would not need to tell us about your typing skills and I would not need to making these comments. I am serious about the warpage of the time-space continuum caused by the large rotating mass of the Rockport Sirius as causing it to sound too slow.( I ment to type the wurd "too", in my earlier reply butt "to" came out insted cuz I wuz typing to kuikly.) Einstein has never been proven to be wrong (except for his hair style), or was he merely exanding on what he called the "Cosmuic Joke" when he wrote his Theory. Einstein's greatest statement was, "Something is moving". I would like for someone to invent a turntable where the record remains motionless and an overhead laser scans the grooves by optically rotating the laser beam. This way there is nothing moving and therefore no space or time distortions to deal with.

Ddarch44: The great physicist, Heisenberg (a contemporary of Einstein) claims that; If you had 1000 monkeys each sitting and typing random characters on typewriters then after a near infinite length of time one of these monkeys will type out all of Shakesperes plays with no typing errors. So,Ddarch44, you can rest assured that EVENTUALLY your rotating AR will become a superb Thorens. If it is not tossed in land fills its molecules could become recycled many, many , many times and EVENTUALLY after an near infinite time become a Thorens TD124 (albiet a reissue in the year 123,128,784.)

Mint604, It sounds like Heisenberg was reading Jorge Luis Borges. So perhaps his claim you refer to was actually an obtuse (and guilty?) reference to Niels Bohr (what DID they say to each other at that secret meeting?). Perhaps simply that they'd have to wait many years for Woody Allen's brilliant treatise on universal expansion in "Radio Days".

If you want to censor posts, my goodness, do it to ones like these! Hello, where's the mod?! Clean this place up!

I'd rather read about an experiment that has shown that a brand "X" power cord didn't really make a difference than read about turntables that are innacurate due to the fact that they are expanding. Puh-lease!
