#5>The longest - and slowest - music composition in existence had a big day on Monday - it changed chord for the first time in two years.
That's faster than some pop "music" acts change chords.

#6The orbits of the Galilean moons form a perfectly-tuned triple octave, plus a slightly flat minor tenth (1:2:4:9.4). After a slight glissando, they will likely settle in a quadruple octave (1:2:4:8) and stop there, in about 1.5 Gyr. It's a cross-cutting phenomenon that the natural universe likes to self-arrange itself into chords [4]

#7One quip: this piece is not "as slow as possible". One could write a piece of "music" that is one note to be played at the heat death of the universe, or a piece that is silence forever. It's fun to play with the definition of "music" like John Cage did his whole career, but the title of his piece is technically incorrect, the worst kind of incorrect.

This is even better played back from a digital recording. You need those gold audio cables to truly appreciate the silence.

I wonder how Seacrest feels about already being "the old guy who has hosted New Year's since forever".

#10>> began in 2001.
A little clickbaity. I could change chords on a million year long piece (that started 30 seconds ago).
