Hi everyone. It’s another midweek. I thought I’d try something different. Ever want to know what a black hole sounds like? It turns out to sound like something Brian Eno or Bjork would create:
The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole! pic.twitter.com/RobcZs7F9e

Now that is something completely different. You learn something new every day. Cheers!
Late August 1989 was a moment that presaged the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was this inspiration for this tune. Two years later, almost on cue, multiple republics declared their independence from Moscow (then the center of the USSR). I’m not so sure we woke up from history, but we are sure living it right now.
