The answer is infinity. Sound doesnt just circle the globe, it travels up and beyond thru space and time. And the farther away, the older the sounds. Somewhere far out in the vastness of space, dinosaur roars are still travelling. A body ( or sound) in motion continues in motion unless something stops it.
What fucks with me is that, if we see a star 2 lightyears away explode, we are looking back in time, because the light of that explosion took years and years to reach us. The big Ear in Puerto Rico hears space sounds alll the time and noises from other galaxies, etc...
I dont remember who quoted it, but it says we are all just a mechanism striking a chord upon an infinite instrument.
Our senses are nothing but delicate readers of electrical impulses that our minds percieve to interpret...its amazing.
katisse Reviewed by katisse on . another thought while on weed i was smokin a bowl and i was fucking gone after 2, after all i get good ass shit, anyways, i was wondering, sound, how does it stop? like, if your in a feild and scream real loud, why does something as petty as distance effect distance of travel for sound? its so weird ebcuase its such a strong force and it eventually disapears into oblivian....any thoughts or answers?
