Scientists Recorded a Black Hole Eating a Star 0 (0)

Scientists recorded a black hole EATING a star, and you can actually hear it. This isn’t a simulation. It’s real data from MIT converted into sound waves. But how is that even possible when space is a vacuum? In this video, we break down how astronomers turned X-ray light echoes into audible sound, what those haunting tones actually reveal about black hole physics, and how MIT’s “Reverberation Machine” just discovered 8 NEW echoing black holes in our galaxy. – Source: https://news.mit.edu/2022/search-reveals-eight-new-sources-black-hole-echoes-0502 WATCH ANOTHER VIDEO: The Science Behind Space Sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THNskIj1-a0 Ways to support us – Join this channel to get [See More…]
