Is this a cosmic joke? It sounds like what Douglas Adams would have it sound like. Is everything on the audio a literal recording solely of the black holes? Or is this not an accurate sound, but how we can measure/detect them? (unironically wanna know)

do you think it would be louder if we were closer?

>To get the unforgettable sound, the researchers working with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) scientific collaboration used light signals collected at their detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, on Sept. 14, 2015, and converted them into sound waves.

>The LIGO uses a setup with laser beams, light detectors and mirrors to detect the faint shortening or lengthening of long distances that occurs as gravitational waves ripple through the Earth. The stretching and contracting of the fabric of space-time in response to gravitational waves is tiny — for the 2.5-mile-long (4 kilometers) arms of the detector, the change in distance is about a thousandfold smaller than the width of a proton.

Black holes don't exist
