Do you look up at the stars and wonder what they sound like? , probably not but by using new techniques to sonify stars, planets, the sun, and even the aurora we can now perceive the universe in a new way. In this video, we look at how we can hear whole galaxies, our sun, and even gravity waves.

Thanks Paul for another fine video and hope you are doing well my friend....

hey Paul what ever happened to the maser? back in the late 70's early 80's it talked about as much as the laser but it seems to have disappeared entirely!

Good to see you back, Paul. Hope you're doing ok. Keep up the good work!
Here in Finland it is kind of 'common knowledge' that you can 'hear' the Northern lights. I must admit that the two times I have seen them, they do overwhelm you since the 'whole sky moves' and sometimes rapidly but I didn't hear anything. I have to add that the Northern lights shown on AppleTV screensavers or whatever can be accurate but Northern lights can also move in a very rapid way that is unsettling. Northern lights are not always those tender undulating lights, oh no.
Have you heard of this phenomena from Northern European people? Perhaps this phonomena can trigger synesthesia on some people?
It's like a hissing.
@@perniciouspete4986well its made from plasma so it makes sense 👍
There are similar phenomena reported by people observing meteors. It’s possible that the plasma generates microwaves which penetrate the ear, producing the sensation of sound.
I have seen many northern lights Revon Tuli and I have never felt uneasy. For me they are just part of the wonderful nature around me
@@livetillyoudielovelife2299 I live in Metro-Helsinki area so those two times I saw them in Lapland were surprising. I guess I'm not used to them. But it shows that it is a phenomena that can be deep-felt for those who haven't seen it before.
What a horrifyingly wonderful idea for a cosmic horror novel. The sounds of the universe driving a scientist mad.
Look up the sounds of Saturn. Years ago when NASA first posted the recording online I listened to it at night with the lights off and it scared the piss out of me. Like a 1950s horror sci fi film.
John Michael Godiers should hear about this idea and write a novel on it.
Tell me
hello darkness my old friend
I'm addicted to the pigger nussy 😻
Another way you can hear things that aren't normally audible is if you have your radio tuned to silence and there's a thunderstorm in range somewhere.
You can hear the lighting strikes before you hear the thunder itself. They play back on the radio as snaps and cracks and depending on how far the lighting bolt travels, especially if it's moving or triggering chain lighting in the clouds, you can hear a very eerie crackling noise at the same time that you see the flash of the lightning.
Radio waves travel at the speed of light after all.
It's also how lightning radar works. There's a bunch of antennae that detect the distinctive signatures of cracks of lightning and they all run with their clocks synchronized so they record the time they "saw" the lightning and you can use maths to triangulate where the strike happened. The better synced they are an the better "view" they have of the lighting strike, the higher the accuracy.
I've seen pinpointed strikes on the map that were just a tree over to the side about 10 meters... VERY accurate and there are live trackers where you can get the reported location of a strike within a second of seeing the flash. And you can then guess how long it's going to be until you hear the thunder.
So many times i've been sitting at my computer waiting for a thunder storm to develop and then i hear the tick on the live tracker, and so i open my balcony door and wait for the boom of thunder.
I think citizen science is brilliant! I use my 14 inch reflector telescope to look for undiscovered asteroids that may pose a danger to the planet. Its cool that anyone can buy a telescope and start doing science.

Well now that I know a pulsar sounds like a cartoon character trying to run away from something my life will never be the same! :)
I wonder, what does Uranus sound like?
😄
Super interesting, I've listened to sonified recordings of the planets. Saturn sounds like hell
Since it's Saturn, it would be the proverbial cold day in hell.
A poem of Olavo Bilac, Brazilian poet about hearing stars.
Sonnet XIII
(From the Milky Way series)
Oh come now (you will say) hear stars! It's clear
You've lost your mind!" I´ll tell you anyway,
I often wake to hear what they will say,
I push my windows open, pale with tear ...
And we converse throughout the night, while high
The Milky Way, like outspread robes, appears
To shine. At dawn, with longing and in tears,
I seek them still throughout the empty sky.
And next you'll say: "My poor, demented friend
What do you say to them? And tell me, pray,
What do they say when they your ears do bend?
I´m tell you: "You must love to comprehend!
For only lie who loves has ears which may
Perceive and grasp the messages stars send.
Welcome back Sir!
You are articulate, precise, and notoriously informed.
Thank you Sir!
Love this channel been watching you from pretty much your first couple vids.
Keep up the great work
So does a tree in a forest falls, does it make a sound? Does the Universe make a sound?
All yes 😅
The quality of Your expression in videos are astonishing! I'm proud of my ability to spot what kind of quality intelect You have and I'm proud to follow Your chanel. Thank You Paul, I hope that universe some how back to You everything You gave to us thru Your videos ("...Neko to od gore vidi sve, ...sve vide oci sudbine...").
Will you please do an interview with John Michael Godier om his Event Horizon channel?
You two would be a blast to listen to.
Thank you, CD, for this wonderful video about using sound to investigate the universe.
I thought it's Adam Neely on the thumbnail. Now THAT would be the collaboration of the titans!
Great work again.
Very interesting. Yeah, I loved this. Thanks Paul.👍🏻
I can listen to these via Patreon, but listen to it here so I can have chuckle at whatever new clever segue you come up with for the sponsorship. Thanks for another excellent work!

Great job
Keep it up
From Argentina
Wow ! Thanks Curious. Had to save this to watch again (probably a few times) especially about the stars that don't quite become Black Holes. This a real 'Hum' Dinger, excuse the pun ! The sounds featured also call to mind the synthesized sound track to the film 'Forbidden Planet'.
omg he’s back!!
What do you think we’d hear if there was an Earth-like atmosphere in lieu of a the vacuum of space? E.g. would we hear the Sun raging?
We would probably go deaf from the sheer intensity of the sounds of space. If the sound of a grenade exploding nearby can make you permanently deaf, imagine hearing a supernova, the explosion of a massive star!
@@osasunaitor that was my initial thought as well, but inverse square law still applies, so itd probably be about as "loud" as starlight is bright during the day (assuming youre living in/around civilzation). When you get out to somewhere extremely quiet, youd probably be able to hear a low roar with the occasional bump in intensity (whether we'd have the sensitivity in our ears to hear those changes is another story). Most of the sound would probably be well, well below our range of hearing (if visible light gets stretched to infrared for things further and further away, due to expansion of the universe, imagine how much stretching would occur to sound waves). As it is with light and heat, the sun would probably be the only thing we could really "hear", drowning out everything else, but still so weakly wed not notice it in a city environment. One interesting question that would raise is would the habitability zone extend further from the star, as in addition to all the EM energy being dumped into the planet by the sun (~1000W/m^2), we'd be getting additional heating from kinetic energy.
Maybe I am missing something but I just don't see the point, other than as a curiousity. There are many ways of analyzing electromagnetic spectra, and there is no reason to expect that translating them into sound waves so we can "hear" them would offer any insights. Serious astronomers don't look through telescopes with their eyes anymore, they use much more sophisticated methods.
brilliant work, as always.
I only watch this guy anymore to see what new shirt he got from Dan Flash’s
As always, another great video. Thank you!
@9:44 you give a great demonstration of "sonification" but the problem is that it's time skewed by how you played it back; sound like light travels in time from the emitting source of the sound in a sphere of influence; that's why you don't hear the boom from an explosion until the spherical shockwave hits you in atmosphere, so it's better to read the sound ripples going outwards at the speed of sound and play it in a replay with the audio playing in surround sound as the pressure waves travel by. With you playing the soundwaves like a record like that makes all the time play back in a 2d circle with a finite radius, and that is not how the sound is propagating through the cloud.
It would have been nice to see that in your simulations, but that also depends on scale of the dense parts of the cloud and the epicenter of the soundwaves; lighter gasses raise the sound frequency (ask anyone who has a pair of lungfuls of helium). Heavier molecules played around with by your vocal chords make lower sounds. You may not speak with the sound of an earthquake but the earth does. It would be amazing if you treated a planetary nebula like an audio chamber with the soundwaves written with the fluctuations in light that vary with the differences in density around the sound source. The different radiation levels correspond to the amount of time since the original shockwave went through the gasses.
Makes me wish I took astrophysics.

Very useful
0:37 That's wild!
I wonder whether or not whales (and other living things) can hear the sun's frequencies.
Maybe only when they're near the surface of the water? 🤔
Someone please give me some reliable references if you would be so helpful. It will be greatly appreciated.
And, if we can't show that it's impossible (or ridiculously implausible), then someone can get on that and maybe add to the literature.
Oh how much it reminds me of the pure bliss of Grobschnitt's "Solar Music", especially the "solar music" fragment... Going to listen to it now, goosebumps here I come.

Wow! Great vid, truely fascinating..."...who laid the corner stone thereof, when the morning stars sang together..."Job 38. Makes me think of Hank Jr. visiting his friend in NYC (the one who was later to lose his life for $43). They were on a busy street and Hank heard a cricket chirping. Pointing it out to his friend, he said how could you possibly hear a cricket over all this noise?!? By way of an answer Hank reached into his pocket and produced a handfull of change. When he tossed it on the sidewalk everyone around looked down...we only hear what we care about.
The Physics of Jazz, Stephon Alexander...good read on the subject, not too technical & well written.
Wait so the sonification of these galaxies are from the radio data, right? That’s what you meant by changing the register to something that’s audible? Not just some weird programs interpretation of the image which is already just an interpretation of radio data?
To be clear is this purely an artistic interpretation, or are EM waves somehow indicative of the physical vibrations occurring on those bodies? Are coronal mass ejections just million-decibel earth-size blasts, that would just sound like blasts if there were enough medium for the wave to propagete?
These seem to be a mix of measurements reflecting true vibrations and simple conversion which is art, so it might be better to separate the types of approaches into more distinct groups
The impression i get is its just an artistic excercise for fun. Unless theres some sort of scientific angle i missed.
@@cheekibreeki4638 That's my impression as well. -Old physicist
Absolutely insane and incredible to hear
Apparently it amazes deaf people when they first receive their cochlear implant that the sun makes no sound.
It’s quite logical when you think about it although I’ve read that if there was a medium for sound waves to travel to the earth the sun would be well over 100 decibels.
And as a side effect it opens up astronomy to the blind
I wonder if every 'fractal shirt' has a unique pattern?
LMAO that pulsar is just drumming away 1000 light years away hahahahahahahaha

Well It is an interesting idea to add a dimension to something, even if it’s only for entertainment purposes, I had no idea geiger’s counter uses that technology
Another great video.👍👍👍
9:25 ok now that sounds CREEPY!
Hans Zimmer approves this video
Distant stars - the light we see from them is billions of years old.
Yes, I can. There, saved your valuable time.
Is it not a phase shift that gravity waves cause, rather than a frequency shift?
According to the evidence of quantum entanglement, two quantum particles affect each other from far distances, in my opinion, this distance can be more than 13.8 billion light years, something controlled the universe with quantum particles.
D.rg
I'm reminded of Fiorella Terenzi's work in this area, though her goals were more artistic than scientific.
Needs prog rock synth stylings.
If you could actually hear the stars, as in no vacuum in space, the entire universe would be deaf.
I wonder if new perceptions through sonification can lead to new discoveries. And also, may be deaf scientists trained in astronomy can make unique observations.

In space no one can smell your fart.
While I don't rule out some special insight as a result of audification, the human brain is 10x more capable of processing visual data. Would you trust a radiologist who "listened" to X Rays? So if the plan is to pre-process acquired data before presenting to thousands or billions of Biological Neural Networks, I'd recommend the visual route.
I wonder how many here associate Vangelis as the she sound of the cosmos.
Great concept for video however it would have been nice to have heard samples of the sounds without the voiceover or poetry overlays..
Moody Blues, eh?
Are you a progressive rock fan, your choice of the Moody Blues, I think it was In Search of a Lost Chord.
I fancied a Guinness after watching that, dunno why?😉
I know there's at least one blind astronomer that uses sonification to do their research.
A radar like scan from center of galaxy doesn't make much sense. Should be circle expanding outwards.
My thoughts exactly.

_"In all your travels, have you ever seen a star go supernova?"_
_"I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air."_
_"I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to... I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to... I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me!"_

Psalm 148:1-6
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Nah. The question is, which images yield cool results when we apply synthesizer algorithms? That is all. A photo of a picnic table might sound 1000x cooler, for hopefully obvious reasons. Sorry. Hate to be a downer. Or do I? I'll consult my therapist.
sounds uncanny and wonderful at the same time, unfortunately the though of hearing the sound of the sun reminds me that rick & morty screaming sun XD sorry

This could have profound efficiency implications for astronomers. If it bears out that the mind can process and recognize sound aberrations effectively as it does for visual ones, this might genuinely permit what we call human multi-tasking (which is actually task switching). My reasoning hinges on the fact that humans do nonauditory tasks (read book, build spreadsheets) but can simultaneously process and react to baby cry, dog barking, doorbell, phone ring. Imagine an astronomer writing documents and spreadsheets while "in the background" he's identifying cosmic aberrations.
The point is that you can't watch footage and read at the same time, nor write documents or formulas. But sound seems to magically layer on top of these things and you can process it, then switch to react when the sound trigger occurs.
Or even while watching RUclips or something audible, perhaps? Because this video identified that the brain very adeptly filters out the useful sounds. You can watch TV and react to the doorbell or baby shrieks, right?
They're not, otherwise they wouldn't be fighting mine
Discussing sound, yet not allowing us to "listen" to further understand, your narration covered the point of the entire subject, that's like stating " see this picture" and standing in front of it.
EXECELENT VIDIO THO NOTHING NEW. lie everybody diving it 5 mins thought knows space is full of sound, its rediculous to suggest orther wise.
Scanning an image from left to right and using conventional instruments and musical scales to make a sonification doesn't impress me. I find the sounds from neutron stars much more authentic.
Sounded like Jarvis Cocker to me???
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world." ~Psalm 19

He deserves it, but I can't remember the last time I saw more than 60 seconds.
Your tax dollars at work
The problem with nasa garbage like that is people who don’t know better actually think there is sound in space. If there was sound in space we would all likely be deaf from the roar of our own Sun. The sonifications frequencies are selected to make and scale the EM waves sound to be nice but select some other acoustic mappings and those sounds would be terrible. The bottom line is stuff like this makes people more stupid and deceives them
I honestly absolutely hate these "audio visualizations" (yes, its a nonsense name for a nonsense fad). You wouldnt take the Mona Lisa, scan it in sweeping lines from the tip of her nose, sonify the light data, and call it the Symphony of Mona Lisa would you? Or scan a page of a dictionary from left to right, sonify the pixel data and say that is what the dictionary sounds like? Its just a weird, utterly nonscientific, completely arbitrary, non-useful demonstration. And the general public actually think it means they can "hear the stars" because the people communicating this stuff never bother to mention that its all completely arbitrary and just for fun. It is a really bad piece of science commumication with the public that increases ignorance and unscientific thinking. And frankly I'm a bit shocked that Curious Driod is perpetuating it.
Droid, I think you either don't understand how simple this is (in which case I am disappointed) or you are trying to make people think this is something special (in which case I am disappointed).
Signification is stupid 🤦♀️
Pointless
There's nothing special about turning images into sound in the context of space. It's just random stuff. But take an image and add noise to it, then remove that noise and then try to add a certain amount of noise back in and what you get is AI-generated images - MidJourney, DALL-E, Playground AI, etc. - That's far more interesting.
First
Your kindergarten class will be so proud.
do you want a Chupa Chups?
"sonification" of an image is meaningless. Nothing is gained, no knowledge is transmitted. Nobody could tell the difference between a sonified image of a nebula and a sonified image of the next wad of toilet paper I use.
How do they hire such Liars fabricators such bold fabricators think this is what they're inviting people to do to the public if you get into some trouble just f*** with the crime scene they're going to believe you and not the victim
Indeed
there is no medium in space to transfer sound... this is ridiculous.
