Scientists Discover Second Gravitational Waves Of Black Holes Collision, Hear How It Sounds

Black holes collision has been successfully observed for the second time. As announced by the scientists, they have discovered gravitational waves created by the collision of ancient orbiting black holes through the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.
The gravitational waves produced by the black holes collision sound appear to disrupt the fabric of space-time, pushing and pulling matters as if existing in a mirror, much like when sound waves disrupt the air to create noise. According to the researchers, when a huge gravitational wave passed through someone, one of its arms will grow longer than the other one. A wrist watch currently worn would also be observed to tick out of sync.
The black holes collision, as explained by the scientists, will release an enormous wave of gravitation. However, once they have already reached the Earth 1.4 billion years after, these massive waves have been found to become very faint, just like how the ripples from a rock that dropped in a pond would mellow out the further one gets from the rock, according to NPR.
A video of the discovered gravitational waves of the black holes collision sound has been released for those who want to listen to the noise created.
Since the gravitational waves that had been detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory have a frequency which could be compared to an array of frequencies that can be heard, scientists may increase the volume and interpret them into sound. While it may not accurately create the actual sound, it provides an audio representation of the data, since such event would have produced no sound in the vacuum of space.
In the released video, the scientists at the Observatory are seen comparing the sounds produced by the most recent discovery with the first one in February. As for the listeners, the scientists recommend to take note of hearing the remnants of a black holes collision that occurred 1.4 billion years ago, in a far, far away galaxy. According to the scientists, it is the music of the universe, NBC News reported.
