  • It kind of is. It’s an extra variable introduced to account for a bunch of things that aren’t adding up.

    Aether was the same thing, until people discovered electromagnetic fields. People knew light was a wave. Waves travel faster through more solid mediums. Light is pretty damn fast. Space is pretty empty.

    Things didn’t add up. Light is simultaneously traveling through possibly the stiffest material in the known universe while also through nothing at all. People had to come up with Aether to try to explain that.

    It was wrong, but it was an obvious placeholder acknowledging that something huge is missing from our current theories.

















  • I played around with them, borrowing one from a friend.

    They definitely have their use case, the most obviously being when you need to keep your ears open for traffic or whatever.

    However, I felt that the sound definition was not great, especially for sharp sounds like cymbals. Everything felt a little muffled, and it couldn’t hit highs or lows very well.

    It’s one of those “better than nothing” pieces of tech but not what I’d choose for pure listening enjoyment.
