What does the universe sound like? A musical tour | Matt Russo

[@mikahkilgore4972]

I started crying when he talked about the auditory planetarium. I haven’t been able to see the stars for the last 14 years or so. I need to experience this! As a visually impaired musician who is also a lover of outer space, that would probably be life changing for me.

[@SYSTEMSounds]

Hi Mikah, please contact me through system-sounds.com, I'd love to help make that happen!

[@MrMadmaxxi]

Well, its very poetic!

[@mikahkilgore4972]

SYSTEM Sounds I just sent an E-mail. Thank you so much!

[@Simonjose7258]

Me too...about the crying part. But I thought about people who can't see the stars. So Beautiful

[@fortyseventen]

Light converted into sound. Movement converted into a (naturally occurring) rhythm Mind blown! Now THAT is a musical message you send to a specific star system! That kind of intelligence will get us some respect

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

_What does the universe sounds like?_ Universe: **plays Despacito 5**

[@vegadarkslayer]

There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery.

I literally just had the same Idea.

lts sounds like a fart in a vaccum...

[@TimTimGameTube]

The universe sounds mysterious, beautiful, strange, scary, sad, joyful, empty, loud & quiet

[@th_mirren]

It sounds EVERYTHING

[@monkey8011]

It sounds void

[@TimTimGameTube]

@@monkey8011 true though. Space has no air so it is not easy to hear noises out there.

[@RingJando]

sounds like my girlfriend!!! Yikes!

[@SpiritedAway12]

Could he make this into actual tracks and upload then on KZbin separately?

I could imagine this "musical astronomy" becoming a niche genre of music in the future. I´m certainly hoping that it does.

[@suezylproctor]

One of the most interesting Ted's I've seen and heard. Simply Amazing!

[@dipie197]

The universe sounds like this: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@keziah9243]

yes

[@sen4ck508]

The universe is the best musician

[@BusinessRaptor520]

This guy doesn't realize that what's stringing all of this together is the human brain.

[@tigerkite9520]

Pretty incredible that the human brain can do all of that. We're blessed

[@MyLocLife44]

That's really deep

[@e.gundogan8656]

I've accidentally learnt a little from the music theory by watching this video, so thanks. Appreciate it.

[@MrMasterKaio]

Amazing talk. Great talent! I haven't been blown away by a TED talk like this in a long time. Hugely insipring, too.

[@aaronanderson9080]

The short piano riff for the constellations at the beginning of the video is awesome. If anyone knows how to play these or know where I can find the score for these, that would be greatly appreciated.

That was an amazing expirence. Music of the universe - I love it.

Percevoir "la musique des sphères" est une expérience vibratoire interne qui relève de mouvements ondulatoires divers, de champs scalaires etc ... et c'est à chacun d'apprendre à percevoir avec les dimensions à son niveau en évolution de conscience STELLAIRE et COSMIQUE ! Effectivement l'observation des étoiles est une piste inspirée !!

[@jhen4882]

Elaborate plan to get people to listen to his music worked wonderfully

[@juanpabloarrieta701]

I knew this talk is well done when I heard the composition he made on his guitar.

[@SYSTEMSounds]

Thanks for all the views! We've just released a sonification of a newly discovered exoplanet system: K2-187 The 4 planets are in near-resonances and conspire to play the same harmony found in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. These resonances are more complex than those in TRAPPIST-1 or K2-138, hence the anxiety-provoking music. Plus, the inner planet has a dizzyingly fast orbit, taking only 18.5 hours to make it around its sun-like star. Hear it at system-sounds.com/k2-187 - Matt

[@davidheatherly171]

Amazing & Beautiful. Thank you so much.

[@AmanSingh-rg7hk]

This is just great!!!! Got too far from the line of understanding of humanity!!!! Music is soul! Music is POWER!!! MATT RUSSO🙏

[@12345BTU]

It's not really the sound of the universe though is it, you're just saying how it's possible to make music out of the simple ratios of rhythm that are pleasing to the human ear because of tension effects and resonance

[@ForsawithSafaa]

Exactly. This is just how the universe would sound if it produce music, because we all know that sound cannot travel in space.

[@12345BTU]

Safaa Zaki what I'm saying is it could apply to anything both human or natural and it requires a lot of manipulation to achieve a piece. This takes away the beauty for me.

[@ForsawithSafaa]

@@12345BTU it does not really take the beauty out of it but it gives us more perspective, knowing that we can generate music from several natural phenomena as you said which is something we never really thought about.

[@12345BTU]

Well i don't find it beautiful, just an interesting art project

[@challengegravity]

@@12345BTU I agree with you completely. I have a program that can turn images into sound and vice versa, and let me tell you any image of the stars/galaxy/universe wouldn't play nice melodies like shown here - it would be a mess of random notes and random volumes. Matt Russo has just picked a particular musical scale that sounds good and assigned our constellations to it's notes. But the ratios of notes he is showing with the Trappist 1 system is pretty cool.

[@RobEquiza]

Fascinating!

[@axcidt]

My eyes are closed til the end of the video..

[@ravindersingh3968]

[@kidaniels8199]

In Jin Shin Jyutsu the simplified acupressure system the body has points each resonating to a musical note. This ancient modality dovetails with your 1derfull talk and may be of interest. The center is in Arizona. Used at the prestigious California Pacific Medical Center through The Institute of Health and Healing.

Did you know that there is a diamond up there the size of a planet? It’s a white dwarf it’s a compressed heart of a star.But it’s not only a radiant diamond it also emits the music of a gigantic gong.

That's an invitation if I've ever heard one

Look up: Jimi Hendrix Gimme an A [Bootleg]. That’s the sound of the universe being transmitted by a true artist through a guitar.

Weird flex but ok

[@theginjaninja5280]

How is he flexing? Hes using musical theory and physics to dumb down something enough to explain something in a way that people like you can understand. Thats not flexing.

[@ayiorgos]

Aristarchus of Samos (/ˌærəˈstɑːrkəs/; Greek: Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ Σάμιος, Aristarkhos ho Samios; c. 310 - c. 230 BC) was an ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician who presented the first known heliocentric model that placed the Sun at the center of the known universe with the Earth revolving around it. He was influenced by Philolaus of Croton, but Aristarchus identified the "central fire" with the Sun, and he put the other planets in their correct order of distance around the Sun en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristarchus_of_Samos

[@aiinterviewer]

Loved it.

[@arunnair9998]

Wow!!!!! Music transcends caste, creed, religion and borders. I always believed and imagined the uniqueness of each individual in terms of a melody (personality, inclinations, skill sets) that is unique to them, which they can offer the world. When the right melodies match, harmonious creation exists. Things just fall into place effortlessly, whether it's a conversation, a project or anything that has to do with co-creation. Imagine the possibilities. New learnings about the universe gives us insights into the nature of our own existence. As we all a part of this same universe, wouldn't the opposite hold true as well?? Deeply touched by this. Revelations from such studies will effect the way we function as a society. Maybe it could help us evolve from the merciless grind of quarterly statements and a market economy, and pave the way towards a more harmonious existence, with each other and with our own planet 🌎 Fascinating.....⚡️🎼🎼🎼⚡️
