Time Slider Mechanics
Another unique & less obvious feature of 7D9887 is its naïve application of general relativity to quantum mechanics --
the ability to send sound waves very slightly back in time. At the core of the instrument a heavy atomic nucleus rests inside a
strong magnetic field, causing it to elongate it into a cylinder. Sound waves generated by the strings are then projected across
this exceptionally dense spinning cylinder, effectively sending the signal approximately 687 milliseconds back in time.
By amplifying this time distorted signal along with the signal at its creation we achieve a sort of reversed echo effect.
This can be a bit disconcerting at first as the player hears each note just before he or she plays it, followed immediately by
the same note as it is actually played. Under most interpretations of quantum mechanics this does not violate causality and is
therefore safe for use by anyone with more than 687 milliseconds of time to kill.
