New sound recording of the Big Bang:
[url=http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/2013/04/02/new-sound-recording-of-the-big-bang]Article (With audio):[/url]
[quote]Available now for your listening pleasure, a recording of our birth.
Captured in hi-fidelity.
A decade ago, American physics professor John Cramer released an audio file of a true golden oldie -- the sound of the theorized Big Bang that formed the universe.
Now armed with new data from the Planck cosmology probe -- a European-led space observatory -- Cramer has released a remix. It's a remarkable audio update on the oldest collaboration imaginable.
"In general, there are no sounds in space, because there is no air to vibrate," Cramer, a professor emeritus at the University of Washington, tells QMI Agency.
He notes the old Hollywood tag line of "In space, no one can hear you scream, but adds: "The Big Bang is the exception to this, because the medium that pervaded the universe in the first 100,000 years or so was far more dense than the atmosphere of the Earth."
He's traced compression waves -- "like ripples in a pool or the ringing of a bell" -- moving through a medium of the very early universe and resonating in it.
"The initial sound waves left a "fingerprint" on the cosmic microwave background in the form of temperature variations," he explains.
"If you were there then, you might hear something like the bottled sound, but the frequencies present then would be very much lower than the simulation."
The audio has proven to be a hit with scientists.
As well as Cramer's dogs, which he says react with barks to the low frequencies.[/quote]
Geez, the beginning of the Universe sounded like a robotic fart.

sounds like an 80s Doctor Who lasergun sound slowed about 1000%

3 RepliesWell, the 'Big Bang' wasn't an appropriate name for it.

Truly, a masterpiece.

Hardly a horrendous space kablooie.

Nice!

5 RepliesPretty skeptical about this. Why can't be a noise from somewhere else? Sound must exist in space we just don't know how to make it happen yet, after all nothing is impossible.
-
You can play songs with it!

"Where's the kaboom, there's supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom!" haha that comment made the article even better!
-
But to think that we we were all a part of that sound. Mind blowing.

1 ReplyI'm curious as to where exactly they got this from.

Got my bowl ready. Now all I need is the Dubstep version.

Did that make anyone else shit themselves?

3 RepliesThe comments on the article: "If the big bang were real, that would mean that the big bang particles are still here and we basically are surviving because of the particles. Which also means that if the particles go away we all die. but this just a theory of mine." -_-

2 RepliesThis is pretty cool. I'll have to give it a listen when I'm out of class. However, to all you skeptics out there, there is sound in space. Sound is the vibration of particles, which in its simplest form, is energy. Energy exists all throughout space. The difficult is trying to translate that into something we can hear. And the reason you can't hear someone in space scream, is that our sound is transmitted through the vibration of particles, which requires a medium like air. EM frequencies do not.

So really this is just a computer generated sound based on what they think it might have sounded like.
-
it became really silent in the end woaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooom...........
-
That was very unnerving, I couldn't listen to it for very long.
-
I actually found it quite unnerving on a subconscious level.
-
lol sounds weird.
-
3 RepliesUm, there is no noise in space. If there was, I seriously doubt it sounded like a 4 bit video game.

1 ReplyEdited by Adept Invention: 4/4/2013 3:58:09 PMHow can there be sound without a medium for it to travel through? EDIT: Reread the article. Pretty neat. Would love to know how they worked it out.
