Listen To The Universe On Your iPod

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."

Nobody understands women, either. So that must mean that gravity=women, which makes sense as
1) both get "heavier" as you approach the center,
2)Though their effects can be weak, the effect itself is pervasive anywhere in the universe,
3) Both tie you down,
4) Both are disobeyed only in fantastical tales of science fiction, and
5) Black holes (the most extreme form of gravity) are the same thing as a woman's memory nothing _ever_ escapes.
