Could it be possible to construct an object so heavy that it alters the Earth's movement?
"Located in Hubei province, this dam is home to the largest hydroelectric power station on the planet, capable of generating 22,500 MW of power. When full, the water level reaches 175 meters above sea level and 95 meters above river level.
The reservoir created by this dam has the potential to flood up to 632 square kilometers of surface area with a total of 42 billion metric tons of water. NASA scientists confirm that when the dam fills, it triggers a phenomenon known as the inertia moment, which affects the Earth's rotation.
According to researchers, the entire dam slows down the Earth's rotation, increasing the length of a day by 0.06 microseconds and even altering the planet's shape, making it slightly rounder at the center and flatter at the poles! "
Yep. The pain really is getting prolonged.

It was 53 years ago. It was also my first date with a girl I was madly in love with who eventually broke it off, sending me into an emotional tailspin for months. I can't forget that day.
50... 53... RIP, Jimi... The world misses you.

Love the breakdown of the mixing of the song. That guitar track is just so cool sounding, such a great tone he got out of whatever amp he was playing thru, I assume he was playing a Strat of course. And the Aflat piano note, nearly makes this song.

Are you experienced really blew my mind at age 12, in 1972. Sounds just as good today.
I have a pedal that reverses riffs, unmistakably Jimi.
Here's a track I recorded with reversed riffs.
Played on white Fender Stratocaster, also influenced by Jimi.

Thx ;[]
I was playing that track for the neighbor kid, and I liked it, and realized I'd sold that delay with the Reverse feature years ago, and that I missed it, so I bought another one and have been fiddling around with it. GAS is a lot like then man upstairs, works in mysterious ways.

Don't know if you saw my earlier post of it somewhere but that's a tune he originally did with Curtis Knight and I suspect it must have been the one that made Linda Keith tell Chas Chandler "You gotta see this guy". The only missing element from his "London sound" was the Octavia and a wah-wah a bit later.
And of course, little did Clapton know that yes, he really was that good, and had been for a couple of years already:
