("Titanic Titanic (tītăn`ĭk), British liner that sank on the night of Apr. 14–15, 1912, after crashing into an iceberg in the N Atlantic S of Newfoundland. More than 1,500 lives were lost.

I wonder if anyone has tried mapping those grooves to see if they can be played using the method described in "Groovy Pictures: Extracting sound from images of old audio recordings" (SN: 5/29/04, p. 339). Obviously, some artistic license would need to be taken, but what a challenge to create true music of the spheres. RUTHANN NICHOLS, CHAMPAIGN, ILL, |
