Now I'm not an evolutionary biologist, but why on earth would humans of the far future evolve to have such sensitive hearing? The only scenario I can envision is a Matrix/Terminator-type scenario where we are hunted by relentless machines, in which case the least of our worries (if humanity even survived that long) would be remixing future pop, or listen to music at all.
It doesn't even have to be for us. It could be for aliens or higher dimensional beings. But also, even in the spectrum we do hear, we are biased towards 1k to 2k in the spectrum. So evolution would even reshape the sounds we hear in the 20hz to 20khz current human hearing spectrum, then nevermind what is above 20khz.
Just because you cant hear it, doesnt mean its not there. What we do here has consequences in the higher dimensions, the same way a cell has an effect on our body.
I'm not saying those frequencies are not there, just that they are inaudible to humans. I'm perfectly happy with the hearing range I currently have, and - apart from a slight issue with my left eardrum - glad I've avoided developing tinnitus.
If you believe in that higher dimensions stuff, well OK... pretty much the same as someone believing in God to me.
Maybe you are trolling, but you still haven't explained WHY evolution would reshape the human ear in such a way.
If you dont believe in dimensions then you dont believe in mathematics or science, never mind God.
Your looking at evolution from a smaller band. Look at it from a bigger band. We are evolving into higher beings, thats what expansion is, both of the universe and that means everything within that universe including us. Higher beings senses will be stronger and take in more information, hence more of the frequency spectrum and less biased like it is now, we are biased towards 1k to 2k.
