Hey one of you brainiacs with too much time on your hands… calculate what the wavelength would be of a Bb 57 octaves below middle C.
Hurry up now, I got Mick and the boys on the other line…

Okay you lazy bones…
How about 3.23463E-15 hertz? Or in decimal, .00000000000000323463 hertz.
How are the kiddies gonna tune down low enough to jam with that?
D
lol - that’s Flavio’s Department.
LOL D, Keef can play sloppily to any freq!
And with gravity and their ages, you can’t get low enough! ROFL
"I wuz bornnnnn in a cross fire hurricaaaaaaaneeeeee,
And I howwwwllllllled at my Ma in the drivin’ raaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnnnn,"
OK, how many times ya played this tune in a hole in the wall bar to a bunch o pool shootin’ drunks?
I think I stand at 4,798 times myself, and that was just in ‘72. (Rolls Eyes)
Jumpin’ Jack Yaz he’s a Gaz Gaz Gaz!
(I must say I liked Johnny Winters “Live And” version alot better)

7-string bass!
“00000000000000323463 hertz” surely thats DC !! - what they dont say is how are you going to get a CD player to go below 20 hertz ? - one thing going for the fan is it will always output some form of AC even when fed with a square wave as the time it takes the blades to spin up and slow down will keep the air presure changes smooth -

Hmmm, check my sums on this one…
Bb below middle C is 233.08 Hz approx, yeah?
so, 57 octaves below that is: 233.08/(2^57),
I think?
Which, according to my slide rule is: 1.6173 blah blah blah e-15 Hz
We’re one octave adrift Diogenes, but, I’m probably wrong. I
must confess, I’ve been drinking, but probably not nearly enough!
Anyway, I’m just listening to it and checking it out now, so gimme a millennium or two and I’ll get back to you.
Whoops you’re right! I missed one! Maybe I need to take up drinking!?!?
Besides, I’m a geetar picker. What do we care which octave we’re playin’ in! Pfffttt! Details, schmetails… phooey!

Ah! the truth now comes out! All these years you've actually been playing a Fender Precision without knowing it!
LOL

I thought those strings felt awfully FAT...

Going back to TomS’ point, and thinking about it on a philosophical level, I suppose DC doesn’t actually exist does it? After all, everything must have had an “on” point sometime or another? So the lowest frequency possible must be limited by the “on” of the big bang, which was 4004 BC, or quite a lot earlier (depending on your religious POV).
And that gives a frequency of… well, quite a low number I ‘spect.
And given the fact that whales communicate in that same ultra low frequency range as the big bang; we have to ask the question; is the whole topic of whale conversation nothing more than the fact that they’re still bitchin’ about that f**king awful banging noise?
Stoopid fish!
Well, there are those that theorize that EVERYTHING resonates. Energy of any form causes even the smallest of particles to “move” so there must be some truth in that theory. No resonance, no energy. No energy, no resonance. Hmmm… makes one wonder a bit don’t it? Where does the very, very basic, down at the lowest possible level, energy come from? Al Gore and his “Hey look at me I’m a global warming, eco-nut conservationist living in a house (ALONE, just me and the Missus) that requires enough power to supply TWENTY THREE average U.S. households.” (Hypocritical Prick) Why not? OR is IT just IT? Hmmm… I like things that make you go “Hmmm…”.

PS I GOT IT!!! It’s the Energizer Bunny! That little, pink turd-ball is the source of ALL energy in the universe! Whew! Mystery solved… NOW I can go to bed and sleep in peaceful slumber… (Unless I have that weird-a$$ dream again where all my teeth fall out…)
