Science Center Lines: 9 Here's a question maybe someone out there can answer: Why isn't it possible to completely restore a recording: for example, to remove all extraneous noise (hiss, clicks, coughs), even to make a reasonable guess about information not in the original recording (for example, given a score and a knowledge of the harmonics of a voice or an instrument, to recreate something close to the sound of the original performance)?
