They simply explode for no reason apparently. Of course there is a reason b ut what is it ?
I am thinking about polymers outgassing inside corroding the aluminum and m aking it corrode. That for most metals makes them lose mass, which has to g o somewhere.
From what I hear it is when they are handled, but not abused. They have not been sitting out in the sun for days. This comes from an audiophile forum and they don't abuse them.
I think I will go back and ask what is the AGE of theses CDs.
Thing is, somewhere around here we probably have someone who knows about po lymers and all that. Maybe they want to chime in.
I think it is a hell of a curiosity.
I wonder if it can happen to the holographic disks. Imagine having all your movies and music on one disk and it goes poof. Thing is I do not believe t hey use aluminum. They are depth multiplexed and like wherever thy want, no t like a dual layer DVD. so they pretty much can't be using aluminum as the reflective substance.
