In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Moan
Yes, I stole that, but I’m keeping it, because it seems appropriate to the story about sound waves from a black hole. I don’t really get this, because I thought that black holes are supposed to be so dense that not even light can escape their gravitational pull – so how does sound? (Can it be the giant sucking sound Ross Perot promised us?) And if the sound is making the interstellar gasses out there warmer, should I pump up the bass on my stereo in winter instead of ratcheting up the thermostat? I should give up on physics now while I still can.
