quade 4 #3 January 8, 2009 The article doesn't make it clear if this is coming from all directions or one specific area. I assume it's all directions like the general cosmic background radiation, but it would be far more interesting if it was only one specific direction.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #12 January 8, 2009 This guy needs a new beat. "Radio waves are not sound waves, but they are still electromagnetic waves, situated on the low-frequency end of the light spectrum." Implying that sound waves are also electomagnetic waves rather than pressure waves. The article goes on to talk about radio waves, not sound waves or a 'roar'. I'm old for my age.

Sound does not travel through a vacum. Either way they are "listening' in.

billvon 3,119 #14 January 8, 2009 >The article goes on to talk about radio waves, not sound waves or a 'roar'. Depends on how they are decoded! If they're narrowband but varying in amplitude, you could demodulate them with an AM receiver. If they're varying a bit in frequency, then they could be demodulated via an FM receiver. If they are changing polarizations, or changing phase, other sorts of receivers could receive them. In all cases they could then be converted into sound. (Which would not be super useful scientifically, but might sound cool, like a 'roar' or something.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #15 January 8, 2009 Yeah, yeah but it's not a roar and not booming until you apply a decoding method that may not be appropriate, i.e. may not have been 'coded' in the first place.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
