What fucks with me is that, if we see a star 2 lightyears away explode, we are looking back in time, because the light of that explosion took years and years to reach us. The big Ear in Puerto Rico hears space sounds alll the time and noises from other galaxies, etc...
I dont remember who quoted it, but it says we are all just a mechanism striking a chord upon an infinite instrument.
Our senses are nothing but delicate readers of electrical impulses that our minds percieve to interpret...its amazing.

Sound doesnt exist. Sound is what we call our brain's interpretation of vibrations, as sensed by our ears. As the distance for the source of this waves of vibration increases, their intensity decreases. Eventually they deminish to the point where we cannot sense them (think of exponential decay). Furthmore, since space is considered a vacuum, sound waves cannot exist as all, as there is no medium through which they can oscillate. :cool:

I wonder if there is a Glaxy in front of ours looking back in time at us? Or whether it is just a circle and we are looking back at our beginning? Freaky.

I haven't looked it up yet, but I'm pretty sure that the amplitude (distance from top of the wave to the bottom) just diminshes over given distances. It's just a force (vibration) that dissipates as it travels through space. Not sure as to what factors make it diminish, can't be friction can it?

thats false, saund waves, along with many other types of waves can exist, such as radio waves used by astronauts, but sound does exist simply becuase ofhow we interprit it, thats like saying sight dosent exist its just how we interpret light pulses with our eyes

Ay, guyz, like you can be walking down a busy street, real fucked up, and the sound of the cars doesnt stop, they just get biggar, and smaller, and when no cars come it feels like your ear fflys and follows the sound until more cars come, and your ears come back
