How We Use Science and Education

On This Page We Discuss the True Team at Phantom Records:

Our original Team Page showed people. Phantom Records is a Partnership because we're a team. However we're not the team that matters. The team that matters is the team of disclines we use to do what we do. But since Team is what you expect to include people, we moved our Team content to our About page. If you click that link now ( it's above 👆 in the Nav Menu, this image ), and scroll down, below the fold, you'll see the Team section there, where it belongs. Now let's discuss the true team that matters: the schools of discipline working together towards a single goal.

Schools of Discipline Working Together:


Computer Science:

Computer Science is the discipline of writing words a computer can understand and follow. There are many languages in the computer science world, from Fortran to C++ to Java and JavaScript ECMA. But they all have one thing in common: their only value is what they do for the person that uses their output. So computer science, like medicine, is ultimately a human endeavor—an art.



Technology:

Technology is like the bridge that holds science up. It's not critical for science to occur, but it's critical for science to thrive. Technology saves time, but it never replaces the scientist. However, in the idea phase—even though technology is not essential for innovation all the time, it's essential for quickly making versions of an invention until a promising version arises. Without technology, scientists and inventors cannot see realistic visual versions of their thoughts for complex inventions. For example, technology can print a prototype of an invention before sending the 3D model to any mass production process. With this technology saves time, money, frustration and enables creation, instead of getting in its way.



Engineering:

While technology saves time, engineering ensures precision. For example, engineering schematics show measurements in the untis of measure that other engineers know. They know how to build things to specific regulations, not just to make them work, but to make them work the way the regulations say they are supposed to work. Engineering diagrams are similar to Physics "free-body analysis worksheets;" they tell what will happen when the invention interacts with the physical world.





Math:

What does math have to do with the sciences? In the physical world, everything is a number. Everything has a volume, a shape, physics to it that tells you what it will do under predictable circumstances. Students who excel in physics learn how to think of those numbers when looking at the physical world—especially in dangerous situations—when they use physics to evade harm, even in situations that are out of their control but not beyond their ability to predict based on physics. Multimedia performances, such as robot-based shows, or shows with electric scooters are highly complex and almost always involve physics that are so advanced they simply are invsibile to the casual on-looker. Yet, the perfomance's creator had to use physics in creating it, nevertheless. Herbie Hancock's famous multimedia performance used physics that was completely invisible to the crowd cheering for it.

Now let's return to how we use this...

We Combine Art and Science:

So why is a record label talking about S.T.E.M. and Art? Because all of today's music and entertainment are highly cloaked combinations of S.T.E.M. and Art.

I won't get into examples because most of them are confidential, and it would be unethical for us to discuss it. Discussing it is tantamout to exposing it. It gives others a clue they wouldn't otherwise have. So we don't do it.

However, We will say that this record label is no different. We have trade secrets we don't expose, and that's true of any business.

We use all kinds of creativity in doing what we do and in positioning our service or product to compete with much larger businesses. So we know how STEM and Art relate. That's why we feel confident when we sell something—that it's a quality product or service—and feel confident that when a customer experiences our offering, they'll notice it's unique. They won't know why, and we won't share why, because the "why" is the trade secret we keep to ourselves (so does every business).

Thanks for reading our page, and we hope you'll come back to see what we're selling so you can buy it! Stay safe!
