Watch/Listen To This When You’re High - NASA Was Able To Record Sound Coming From A Black Hole

I still don’t know if this is even possible but I saw it on the internet so it must be true.

Science Alert-NASA has released a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away.

The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, and the acoustic waves coming from it have been transposed up 57 and 58 octaves so they're audible to human hearing.

The result (below), released by NASA in May, is a sort of unearthly (obviously) howling that, if we're honest, sounds not only spooky, but a little bit angry.

We wouldn't be able to hear them at their current pitch. The waves include the lowest note in the Universe ever detected by humans – well below the limits of human hearing.

But this recent sonification has not only brought the recording up a whole lot of octaves, they've also added to the notes detected from the black hole, so we can get a sense of what they would sound like, ringing through intergalactic space.

Keep the suggestions coming. Keep them classy. No butt stuff.
