Birth Of The Universe In 5 Seconds

[100%]

Who cares about the explanations

The second one sounded great and
has more Conceptual value than most of todays music.

You can't have sound in a vacuum.

True but Space isn't completely empty like a true vacuum!!!

Whether or not you can have sound in a vacuum... you can't have it in space... not the
space they would have heard it in anyway...

WTF??

Answers in a language that makes sense please.

[benxuk]

You read the title post?

[soopaman]

Yeah I did read the title but couldn't make sense of your reply. What is it about the space (where they detected the sound) that makes you think that the scientists can't detect it??

Somethings just dawned on me...


The very early universe as theorised by the big bang theory wouldn't have been a vacuum. It would have been an extrmely highly dense place comprising of superheated plasma and hydrogen and helium ions.

Therefore it maybe possible that sound could have travelled within it.

I'm surprised this thread is still alive

read the article too. it says that the big bang would have taken place in complete silence and that the sounds merely represent occurances thereafter.

for J'Pol:

Dictionaries provide definitions

Granted but dictionaries also provide examples within definitions to help clarify the meaning, thats what you quoted. but of course you knew that already. again, according to any dictionary definition, matter can exist inside a vacuum thus sound can travel within one.

There can't be sound in a space which contains no matter (they should invent a word for that).

Correct but that is not the definition of a vacuum, merely an example.

The Big Bang would have taken place in complete silence but as the Universe expanded sound waves would have been able to grow.

...what I said!
