"Where do you think it goes?"
All these physics answers! The funnest explanation for a kid is just that music is only there when you're listening to it. If you don't listen, there's no music. When you start listening again, music comes back. Then ask if they can hear the music of the wind.
Can you hear the music of dad's bowl movements?
Ha! Gotta rip one as they're listening to the wind in the trees.
The music stays in your head until your forget it. Music only exists in your head
To retire on a farm upstate, unless my mom lied to me 🤔
It goes on until it doesn’t? Seems like there’s a pseudo-scientific philosophical argument that it continues on forever at some quantum level?
There's a physics argument that information can't be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.
into our minds and into our hearts
But actually though, music goes up into the sky and becomes clouds.
Nothing's really ever gone
The music stays there we keep moving
As someone with a degree in Philosophy, I don't think this is really a philosophical question. The science is interesting and useful to know
