Who Told Me Here There Were No Sounds In Space When I Said There Were?

Yes, but we all know that in space, no one can hear you scream.

Probably because you would have frozen, collapsed lungs.....

Sept. 9, 2003: Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found, for the first time, sound waves from a supermassive black hole. The "note" is the deepest ever detected from any object in our Universe. The tremendous amounts of energy carried by these sound waves may solve a longstanding problem in astrophysics.

The black hole resides in the Perseus cluster of galaxies located 250 million light years from Earth. In 2002, astronomers obtained a deep Chandra observation that shows ripples in the gas filling the cluster. These ripples are evidence for sound waves that have traveled hundreds of thousands of light years away from the cluster's central black hole.

Next we need a smell'o'scope:

No. No we fucking don't. I don't want to smell the nasty smells of space.

Looks like he's sucking on that thing.

@Solitary: It's not space if there's something there, so the "sound" isn't in space, it's in that gas cloud.

Yes, sound waves have to react with something to make sound. Vacuum doesn't qualify.

Outer space is not a total vacuum, so no, the sound is in space.

I wonder if you fart in space can anyone smell it?

I don't know, but they can hear it. http://youtu.be/N1EBAn6Lpu8

And the sparsity of matter makes the attenuation of such sound extremely rapid.

Attenuation? That's what is happening to my hair.

If a black hole farts in the Perseus Cluster, and there's no one there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Earth sounds from space:

It probably would be quieter if everyone would just TURN DOWN THEIR DAMN TV SETS.
