This Is What the Birth of the Universe Sounded Like | Mark Whittle | TED
What sound came after the Big Bang? Astronomer Mark Whittle takes us back to the infant cosmos, where massive sound waves pulsed through primordial gas in a pattern that’s still traceable across the universe today. Working with sound artist Ander Mikalson and composer Caroline Shaw, he turns those ancient tones into a glorious, awe-inspiring choral…

Fold-A-Phone FAQ: Why Aren’t We Randomizing The Folds?
Although we would love to account for every possible use case, doing so along these lines would have drastically increased the development time and complexity of the project for very little measurable gain. Perhaps we can explore more varied interaction methods if/when the Fold-a-Phone 2 test is on our development docket. Host: CNET Labs Director,…

iPhone Duo Livestream: How Many Folds Can Apple’s Phone Take? Day 3 – Part 2
We had a litlte power crash so had to restart our video encoder. Apple’s iPhone Duo is out and we want to see how durable it is. So we built a robot to fold it 20,000+ times a day to test its limits. How long do you think it will last? 100,000 folds? 200,000 folds?…

A vacuum
Not like a Dyson
It would have been a Hoover back then

So cool that they had a choir perform this sound. If the universe were sentient, I’m sure it would be a startling and give it a fond nostalgia.

I definitely didn’t have manifesting figured out. I kept trying different techniques, getting nowhere and wondering what I was doing wrong. Amara Lorne arche type quiz helped me understand that I was using methods that simply didn’t match me. Nothing magically changed overnight, but it finally gave me some direction. It’s free, so you might as well try it.

Sorry but that makes no sense. The Big Bang couldn‘t produce a sound because there was no atmosphere, no gases of any kind. You can take anything that produces some back and forth movement and feed it into an amplifier and speaker.

Yeah, ignoring the fact that it never happened, your logic is sound.

The *known* universe. The surely infinitesimal portion of the universe that we’ve mapped to some degree. Not to be confused with the actual entire universe.

This is too complicated for me, is it because my level is B2-C1, or because I’m not clever enough to understand? Well, something I understood, but it feels like most part I didn’t hear or understand

He used a lot of scientific terms. For an English learner, this would probably be on the upper end of difficulty in english. Goodluck in your learning!

There was no big bang. Gravity would never allow it to happen.
When can we get back to real science?

There was a sound just before the big bang – it was “Oh no!”

Does the Big Bang make a noise if there is no one listening.
