How unimpressive !

Is this the best noise that two neutron stars can make when they collide ?

I mean....I know it didn't happen just down the street....(Just as well, really)....It was 130million light years away ....But I'd have expected a slightly grander noise than something that sounds like a fuse blowing.

If astronomers ever detect the sound of the Big Bang.....What's that going to sound like....."phwppppt" ?

I demand the music of the universe be free form experimental jazz!

Mmmm nice...

[FierceKitty]

Nah, clean eternal laws of order on an 18th century organ.

[toxicpixie]

No reason you can't make experimental free form jazz on an c18th organ!

It'll probably sound like '70s prog rock shenanigans via the magic of the Moog, but hey.

Just because you can love the universe, doesn't mean the universe loves you

[FierceKitty]

You have a point.

Well, strictly speaking, it's not a sound anyway. Sound being a longitudinal wave it cannot propagate in space which is a vacuum. Also, if it could, then the "sound" has spread into a sphere and it is an awful long way away. The further away the quieter it is!

Jazz, uhmmm, smooth, uhmmm... shi£e.

If two neutron stars colllide in space and no receiver is tuned to detect, do the still propagate a waveform?
