Space-Time Vibration Allows You to Hear Black Holes If You're Close Enough

[@jackalovski1]

I love the fact that the loudest sound we've ever recorded, of two black holes colliding makes such a rediculous plop sound. it's so absurd that it feels lifted from the pages of the hitchikers guide to the galaxy.

[@rhoddryice5412]

[@Wild1BillS]

Its crazy something this Massive that can produce this much gravity sounds just like a drop of water hitting a pond. Merry Christmas Anton ;)

[@anonymousanonymous-tw3wm]

😂

[@nengyang1895]

That's probably due to the fact space is technically empty and there is no medium for the waves to travel through. Similar to how standing in 10mph wind is nothing compare to trying to stand in 10mph waves.

[@jokerace8227]

Oh, one where we're not shifting something into the audible frequency range, it actually would sound something quite similar to that. Neat.

Happy Christmas folks. Given this effect one can also deduce that at some point there would be a strong heating effect because of the gravitational wave interaction with mass. Thanks for the video Anton, great as always.

[@SteveSiegelin]

I've been trying to explain to people how you can actually hear sound in space. It has to do with the density of the space around you and the space around a black hole is extremely dense with material. With the lack of atmosphere vibrations gain a baritone style drop. Sometimes the sounds become so low that they are not inaudible but you can feel them. This is why astronauts can hear the separation inside of a spacecraft as well as hear the second stage fire. It is creating a small pocket of atmosphere around that nozzle. Gravitational waves are sound waves that are in a ultra low frequency. Light is a form of wavelength in an ultra high frequency. Sound travels through space but there's no medium to convey it to the hairs in our ear and that's why we can't hear it unless we're in a spacesuit or some kind of atmosphere around us so that our hairs can vibrate.

It's very likely that information inside becomes part of the whole and thus is no longer quantifiable in any meaningful sense.

For some reason I remember - probably because it was so far from what we usually asked about - a very brief conversation in a my general relativity class taught by Bryce DeWitt back around 1990 about whether if you were close enough to a spinning black hole you could feel it. It is weird the things you remember. Also, while I know “spaghettification” is the adopted name unless you are jumping into a black hole with a friend I’ve always thought “spaghettofication” would have been the grammatically correct term. 😂

[@michaelhughesdvm]

Merry Christmas Anton!

Since gravitational waves are produced by mass accelerating and screaming moves your vocal chords and other body parts, you just have to scream loud enough to be heard in space. But also, if you scream that loudly, you would rip yourself apart and particles of you might impact the listeners, which would also work.

BUT THEN HERE WE ARE truth is stranger than fiction fr

[@TheClumsyFairy]

I know this is probably a REALLY stupid question, but why are the two signals on the plots from Livingston, and Stanford LIGOs different? They are measuring the same thing, in the same way so the only difference shurely should be the timing, not the signal its self? I know that there's maybe noise involved, but surely they should be nearly identical, or am I missing something obvious?

[@Napoleonic_S]

Hypothetical question, if 2 empty black holes, here I mean black holes with no accretion disk of matter (de?)orbiting them at all, merge, what would happen differently than with real black holes? Would they still release energy? From where the energy would come from in such a case? Speaking about that, do we actually know what actually is a black hole physically speaking, as in if there's one small enough, can you physically grab them by hand or physically interact with it by any other physical objects/materials?

How does LIGO output known to be specifically from a singular black hole? How do we remove all the gravitational wave noise from assumedly many other astronomical phenomena? Can LIGO be aimed at a specific spot and even then, how do we know what is interference from unknown energy sources between earth and the target? And why is frequency represented in base 2, an assumption on my part based on the graphs.

Let's say it's peaking around 256Hz. Could I not just make a tuning fork at the right frequency to amplify the effect into sound waves? Or even just a sheet of metal of the right size might end up resonating? If the gravity waves are hitting a planet, I wonder how many objects would get "shaken" by the gravity wave and end up giving off sound.

[@SAesir]

I dont understand, how can the alteration in spacetime can cause a pressure in my eardrum. Gravitational waves should not inflict pressure. the whole fabric is affected from those waves so how can the drum get that difference relative to other parts of itself and its attachments to body as whole body and those attachments are also affected by the gravitational wave. so no relative motion = no pressure. I dont think we can hear high freq. gravitational waves (GW) the only thing maybe the differing accelerations of the ear drum due to GW amplitude causes a mechanical pressure wave on the drum which travels much slower than the GW itself on the ear drum to provoke the sound perception. but as during that ear drum acceleration difference as a tension pressure wave travel, those amplitudes passes millions of times (since their wavelength should be smaller than the ear drum to provoke differing acceleration rates on the drum itself). so only the constructive mechanical pressures of those GW amplitude passage of millions leftover after the induction. So GW actually induces sound waves in ear drum as solid state waves by not only touching the first part of the drum but an overall effect of pressure wave interference caused by differing accelerations leftover on the drum.
