Listen To The Universe On Your iPod

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-chicken dept.

ptorrone writes "The New York Times had a great story about Dr. Mark Whittle, a professor of astronomy at the University of Virginia who has taken the cosmic background radiation of the universe and made a series of sounds. The folks over at Engadget made the sounds available in MP3s so you can listen to them on your computer, iPod or whatever. Also, If you'd like to read more about Dr. Mark Whittle's work visit his site, there are a lot of presentations and information regarding Big Bang Acoustics."

    Um, you guys did go to the linked engadget site before posting didn't you?

    The title of THEIR article is:

    "Listen to the sound of the Universe on your iPod"

    and there's even a picture of an iPod there.

    Now everyone just take a deep breath, Slashdot and Apple are not out to get you.
