Big Bang Really a Big Hum

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."

    I *really* do not appreciate your tone. You are not interested in discussing, helping, and learning. You are interested in acting the antagonist using venomously charged words. I am simply not interested in arguing with you because I know the outcome - nothing. There will be no fruit gained for either of us. You have already decided what sort of person you think I am, so you will have lost the opportunity to learn something new - as I have lost it to learn from you. And don't be mistaken, this is based purely on your attitude. If you acted with more respect and less visciousness, then I would have been quite happy to talk.
