A colleague of mine recently shared a Snapple™ lid with me, which said “The nothingness of a black hole generates a sound in the key of B flat.” That sparked my curiosity.
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found, for the first time, sound waves from a supermassive black hole. The "note" is the deepest ever detected from any object in our Universe… In musical terms, the pitch of the sound generated by the black hole translates into the note of B flat…57 octaves lower than middle-C…this is the deepest note ever detected from an object in the Universe.
Steve Allen, an investigator with NASA, says, "The Perseus sound waves are much more than just an interesting form of black hole acoustics. These sound waves may be the key in figuring out how galaxy clusters, the largest structures in the Universe, grow. Hear, See, and Buy it on MusicSpoke. http://bit.ly/1Lm89pS
