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.

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!
I believe that Highfivesign’s subtle observation (BAM!) is accurate. Mr. Heisenberg’s Primates could never have turned out a single “comma” of Shakespeare, no matter how long they toiled. However, they would have been capable of typing volumes 3 through 10 of “Mein Kampf” (without typos) after two bananas and a coffee break.
