Although it looks nice, this doesn't seem very accurate. IIRC, we don't live inside a nebula, and we're also supposed to be more on the outskirts of the milky way.

The radio broadcasts also went back in time too fast. Alpha Centauri is abour 4 ly away, so they would start picking up "Umbrella" from Rihanna right about now. :-)

To give the Universe justice: if this were to scale (and the humanity's radio sphere would last for 1 second), you'd have to listen to The Silence for almost 4.5 years!

[jopeon1983]

for those that say the sounds aren't accurate. the original broadcast are light years out but every time the spice girls, martin Luther king are broadcast they end up in space. so martin Luther kings broadcast near Jupiter is right, heck you could probably hear him from mars as itis being shown on telly somewhere now too. but your right the sounds in this clip are meant to be the original in which case the clip is wrong.

if there are aliens (if), they would have to make noise as well, maybe they won't have television but still a noisy planet which is a good thing like ours

[jopeon1983]

@enchantress7 that's a good thing, shows this planet is thriving against the quite of space.

[enchantress7]

we sure are a noisy planet!

The most advanced and modern scientific theories hold that our universe, incomprehensibly vast and ancient as it is, was created out of absolutely nothing billions of years ago, and has been rapidly expanding ever since. What caused the universe to spontaneously pop into existence and how long will it last?
