NASA: sound of a black hole

Watch a NASA animation zooming in on a black hole as you listen to black hole sounds. The sounds are X-ray data from GRS 1915+105, translated into audible pulsations by MITs Edward Morgan.

This black hole is a near-extremal Kerr black hole. See how to microscopically calculate the entropy of this black hole using string theory methods:

Is there a train in the black hole ?

Черная дыра не может издавать звука, так как из нее не может вырваться даже свет)) Не несите хуйню, долбаебы)

Space doesnt not have air.. therefore NO sound

@04TherafF11 It has something to do with converting vibrations into audible noise. I imagine some vibrations would escape. But then again, I'm not an astronomer. I'm just one of dem' hill folk
