Is it possible to stop time ? Back in 1970s you could hear the terrible noise you made when you slammed down your telephone on annoying callers, you could hear the gurgle of coffee percolators, the clatter of home-movie projectors. As technology advances a lot of noises are fading into oblivion....sad isn't it ?

As we move toward an age of quiet gadgets that do everything possible not to get in our way, we’re losing our appreciation for all the magic under the hood. Not long ago, the sounds our devices made reminded us that they were doing something truly important, whether that task was connecting us to the Internet or bringing us back to the beginning of our favourite VHS movies. A child born today has a greater chance of hearing a real cloned dinosaur roar than a busy signal. But for those of us who lived through the beginning of the PC revolution, these 13 tech sounds will always be hardcoded into our memories. - See more at: http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/13-tech-sounds-that-no-longer-exist#sthash.4wwECNN8.dpuf

– With the discovery of the crucial, though, unexpected link between space and time, Einstein realized that these two things could no longer be thought of as separate things.
They are fused together and form the continuum (manifold) of space-time, viewed as a four-dimensional vector space.
Suddenly, he realized something unbelievable, namely that our understanding of past, present and future and the sharp difference we see between them – may only be an illusion.
“The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” he said.

Hi everyone
As technology advances, dozens of once familiar sounds are gradually forgotten.: telephone ring, clickety-clack of typewriters are disappearing. Sounds are like smells. They can transport us to another time. Film makers know that perfectly and use them to awake their audience's emotions. In a film smells can't be used of course, just noises are useful. A needle scraping across a vinyl record gives us a strong reaction all the more so since a romantic music or song follows. A lot of sounds come and go over the years and leave behind a lot of nostalgia
