    Because you would have to put the record on upside down.

    If one was Einstein, would you be putting it right side up or upside down?

    That is the question.

    That is the question.

    I guess if the record was an infinitely heavy pressing, gravitational lensing would allow you to see the label on the bottom side.

    Or look @ the album cover.

    And deny oneself of the pilates exercise of rotating your head round and round trying to read the label? I think not.

    Well, I have to admit this....

    You ARE consistent.

    Since it has two sides how would you tell if it's upside down?

    Seriously, when I put a CD or SACD in one of my players I can't see the label, so why do you need to see it on a record?

    Even if you could see it, you wouldn't be able to read it.

    well, one can read the label on a spinning record* -- but it may make one a little woozy.

    :)

    * do not try this with a 78.

    Haters man just haters :'( ...I always thought that's what the cover/case was for silly me to think such things. :p

    It would be like eating toast buttered on the bottom.

    And no, you don't really need to see the label. Except to see if your'e putting the record on upside down, of course.

    I have filed this device firmly in the "because we can" category.

    I've never been able to read the label on an HDD when it's spinnin'... too darned fast.

    And them SSDs -- fuggedaboutit

    Someone needs to invent some Mobius strip vinyl. That would be be of great assistance to those who are 'energy-challenged'.

    True a 15,000RPM SAS HDD...enough to warp time and space dude!

    So -- in my business, we use a technology called analytical ultracentrifugation to study physical properties of macromolecules (e.g., proteins, DNA). Ultracentriguges are cool. The heart of an analytical ultracentrifuge is a rotor made of titanium (nowadays, carbon fiber) that is spun at speeds up to 100,000 rpm. The rotors are ca 8 inches in diameter. The tangential velocity of a point on the outer circumfrence of the rotor is an appreciable fraction of the speed of light :) I asked the lab's professor, semi-seriously, whether the measurements made in an analytical ultracentrifuge at such velocities had to be corrected for relativistic time dilation.

    Well -- I thought it was funny! The powers that be just said "no, we don't".
    No sense of humor have those biophysicists.

    :p

    It spins really effin fast and almost reverses time.
