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

  • @darknight991 he didn t say that sound in this video is x rays sorry my bad

  • @04TherafF11 true

  • tie a rope to a gopro and throw it into a black hole
