Re: The Sound of a Comet...
Here's a fun little tidbit:
The wavelength of 0.05 Hz is about 4 1/4 miles!

I'm glad you didn't post a picture with that. Apparently, it has been revealed the comet has the winning bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:Ok, we've officially hit bottom.

Thanks for that. I was curious and had intended to calculate that but hadn't gotten around to it.BobK wrote:Here's a fun little tidbit:

Actually, there's a new picture floating around of Kim Kardashian looking back over her shoulder that might have been appropriate. Search for Kim Kardashian / Paper, and you'll probably find it very quickly. (NSFW)bayswater wrote:I'm glad you didn't post a picture with that.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:Ok, we've officially hit bottom.

That's the one. Yikes!!!

Oopa, I see I'm WAY late to the comet party! I'd send you the Milky Way candy bar MLC, but I already ate it.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
Wouldn't that depend on the medium? I'm not sure exactly what medium we're looking at for the source of this sound. Magnetic field reversal/oscillation? Electromagnetic waves? That's way down there below infrared somewhere, sorta Baja-Infra-TijuanaRed.mikehalloran wrote:Thanks for that.

Someone spot me while I lift this equation. If this frequency is 50/1000 hz, then only 5/100th of a cycle will be completed in a second. It takes 20 seconds to complete a cycle. Am I right so far?
Ok. If light travels at 186,000 miles per sec, and one wavelength of this particular radiation is happening in 20 seconds, then we have a wavelength of 186,000m/s x 20s, and that would be 3,720,000 miles. Right?
- Electromagnetic Wavelength: 3,720,000 miles
- Acoustic Wavelength on Earth = 4.26 miles

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
Yeah, I considered that the medium would probably make a difference, but didn't take it any further than that. I just plugged the .05 Hz into a web page frequency-to-wavelength calculator.Shooshie wrote:Wouldn't that depend on the medium?

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.
