00:00NASA has recorded sounds from deep space that scientists themselves describe as haunting, eerie, and deeply unsettling.
00:08These are not made up.
00:10They are real signals converted into audio.
00:13And what you are about to hear described will change how you think about the universe.
00:17Space is a vacuum.
00:19Sound cannot travel through it.
00:22But electromagnetic waves, plasma vibrations, and pressure waves absolutely can.
00:28NASA's sonification program converts these real signals into audio frequencies human ears can detect.
00:35What they captured is extraordinary.
00:38The black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster produces pressure waves that, when converted to sound, create
00:45a deep, continuous groaning.
00:47Described by listeners as something enormous breathing in the dark, this sound has been traveling through space for millions of
00:54years.
00:55Jupiter's magnetic field captures charged particles from the solar wind and converts them into radio waves.
01:03When sonified, the result is an eerie, shifting, almost electronic shriek, like something alive and enormous calling out into space.
01:12Saturn's rings interact with its magnetic field to produce whistling, crackling sounds, like a storm that never ends.
01:20The Voyager spacecraft recorded these signals as it passed through the outer solar system in the 1980s.
01:27Scientists were not prepared for how structured and complex they were.
01:31The sun itself, our own star, produces a constant low-frequency hum from plasma oscillations on its surface.
01:40Converted to audio, it sounds like a slow, enormous heartbeat.
01:44The Quran says in Surah al-Isra, chapter 17, verse 44,
01:50And I translate the meaning.
01:52The seven heavens and the earth and all that is within them glorify Him.
01:57There is not a single thing except that it glorifies His praise, but you do not understand their glorification.
02:03Every object in the universe is producing something, a signal, a vibration, a sound that science is only now beginning
02:12to translate.
02:13The universe has always been speaking.
02:16We just built the tools to start listening.
