Well, this is interesting. You need speakers. Apparently, these are the sounds of space. I'm not sure how they got this...

[Maulden]

Trippy... @_@

And I think something was mentioned about converting electrical or radio emissions into sound... O_o

[felixia]

Do you, like, tape a sound recorder to the outside of a spaceship? Stick your mobile phone out and send it straight back to base?

That's cool though. I thought I didn't have it at first because my speakers pick up some radio station faintly when you touch it. I thought it was narrated spce sounds......or something.....

[Tundra]

what I don't get is that there's not supposed to be sound in space.

[felixia]

I thought that sounds just kept travelling or something.

No, that was physical objects, right, no gravity.
Hmm.....! Curious!

[Effie]

That was cool. It was odd though but makes a bit of sense that they'd (the objects in space) would emit a sound of some sort even if just one. I mean it's all the same universe. It's cool at the least.

Ooh....O_o That was kinda cool and kinda freaky....I have this weird thing about looking at planets. Like, you know when you start up Google Earth and it zooms in on Earth? Freaks. Me. Out.

...hang on, my Physics exam is in two days and unless I'm much mistaken sound waves require a medium to travel thought. Like air. Water works even better. Vaccum, on the other hand, just won't do it. No mollecules to bang against each other and create compressions and rarefactions. Rarfractions. Whatever; the thingies that hit your eardrum, thus creating the pulses that our brain translates into sound.

Yeah. I was just about to post what Elski said. No medium (air, water, etc) no sound.
