I found this pretty interesting. WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) -- Big black holes sing bass. One particularly monstrous black hole has probably been humming B flat for billions of years, but at a pitch no human could hear, let alone sing, astronomers said this week. "The intensity of the sound is comparable to human speech," said Andrew Fabian of the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge, England. But the pitch of the sound is about 57 octaves below middle C, roughly the middle of a standard piano keyboard. |

son of a bitch! hotmail links fuck 'em Just go to science and space This is far, far deeper than humans can hear, the researchers said, and they believe it is the deepest note ever detected in the universe. The sound waves are emanating from the Perseus Cluster, a giant clump of galaxies some 250 million light-years from Earth. A light-year is about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion km), the distance light travels in a year. Fabian and his colleagues used NASA's orbiting Chandra X-Ray Observatory to investigate X-rays coming from the cluster's heart. Researchers presumed that a supermassive black hole, with perhaps 2.5 billion times the mass of our sun, lay there, and the activity around the center bolstered this assumption. Black holes are powerful matter-sucking drains in space, and astronomers believe most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, may contain black holes at their centers. Black holes have not been directly observed, because their gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. |

Shit-- 30,000 lightyear wavelength. |

but, if it's a black hole, and everything is supposed to be devoured by this blackish holish thingy, even light, how the hell can sounds escape? |

I guess this might answer your question? I'm no scientist though. "As the black hole pulls material in, he said, it also creates jets of material shooting out above and below it, and it is these powerful jets that create the pressure that creates the sound waves. " |

ah, I guess I should have read the whole article! we're even then, I guess :) |

"...their gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. So researchers have concentrated on what happens around the edges of black holes, just before matter is pulled in..." |
