Big Bang Really a Big Hum

Posted by michael on from the letdown dept.

benna writes "The New Scientist reports, 'The Big Bang sounded more like a deep hum than a bang, according to an analysis of the radiation left over from the cataclysm. Physicist John Cramer of the University of Washington in Seattle has created audio files of the event which can be played on a PC. "The sound is rather like a large jet plane flying 100 feet above your house in the middle of the night," he says.' Apparently the idea for the project came from an 11 year old."

    Whatever you do, don't download that soundbite! The RIAA is tracking all downloads and will SUE YOUR ASS for copyright violations!

    Ok, so science knows enough about something that is said to have happened billions of years ago that they can tell you what it sounded like. Isn't that quite a bit of a stretch. Also, evolution disproved, maybe not completely but our theory of evolution full of more holes than all the swiss cheese in the world done easily. Check out the book EVOLUTION CRUNCHER.

    So god was humming!? haha. I'm more convinced by the yoga ommmm. Face it, god's role becomes less and less relevant or necessary as we discover more about how our world works.

    Remember, start off by believing the earth is not flat and the sun (and everything else) does NOT go around the earth.
