You could probably make an optical disk out of sugar.

I make MP3s out of salad.

8:44pm melinda:

Edison fart. Haha!

8:46pm JakeGould:

Isn’t that a Stone Roses song? “Edison Fart?”

It should be.

8:52pm melinda:

Yes, the fart does resonate.

8:53pm Bas NL:

It spreads wide...

8:55pm Listener Robert:

Wikipedia shows an analog optical disc from 1935. No reason they couldn't've been around even earlier with the DeForest optical-sound-on-film technology.

8:57pm Listener Robert:

So how would we do it with sugar, & only sugar? How could we lay down with any useful density either gradations of opacity or binary clear-or-opaque that we could make that way from a sound signal?

9:00pm Listener Robert:

Some thermal process, I guess.
