Sonic Black Hole Traps Sound Waves & other interesting Black magic.
BEC, Science
If you ever wanted to as Garfunkel sang ‘hear the sound of silence’ , perhaps you can tune into a ‘sound vacuum’. It wasn’t enough just to project ‘contra-harmonics’ as one does in those sound eliminating headphones, this might be able to silence a thermonuclear blast, eh…. good idea… ‘I didn’t hear anything ….’ maybe there was always a big hole here in Manhattan.’
I never even thought about a ‘sonic black hole’ … so all this noise is pure speculation, fruit for the hungry sci-fi imagineer.
Then on this same page was the little video ‘3 Questions: Black holes. Known: Milky Way galaxy has a ‘central massive Black Hole known as Sagitarrius A with a mass of 4 MILLION Suns. Don’t worry, it’s 25,000 light years away from us, so we’re not on the ‘plate’, not even in the menu for SagA’s hunger.
One question remains: ’ Which came first, the massive black hole, or the galaxy? It seems that the bigger the black hole, the bigger the ‘star bulge’ in a galaxy. ‘Is that a great big bag of stars in your pocket, or are you just trying to lure me to your event horizon? — I think I hear echooos from the Mae West galaxy…. or was that the colliding W.C. Fields galaxy with the Supernova Mae West. … there’s a lot of questions out there.
