whenever I research planets like Tres 2b and J1407B, I get this really odd feeling like something is behind me/watching me. I know that there’s nothing there, but I can’t help but feel scared. Help??
Dude, I watched this video on Youtube of the sounds on different planets and it gave me goosebumps. Space is awesome but fucking creepy at the same time.
So why does the Enterprise always make a whooshing sound when it zooms by in the title sequence of Star Trek episodes?
The serious answer is that you are, of course, correct: what we perceive as sound is the vibration of air molecules, and space is a vacuum. So if an astronaut in space took off their helmet, probably the only thing they'd hear before their death is their blood boiling in their ears.
However, planets that are surrounded by magnetic fields have an effect on the charged particles emitted by stars (and some planets emit their own charged particles), and this can result in them giving off electromagnetic radiation, some of which is in the range of very low frequencies that our ears are capable of detecting. If these electrical signals are amplified and fed into a device that vibrates in air, we perceive it as sound.
Most people have experienced something very similar in their daily lives. Domestic electricity is supplied at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second, which is within the range that most people can hear, and the electrical wiring in our homes is always emitting low power electromagnetic radiation at that frequency. We don't hear a constant low hum surrounding us when we're in a building since our ears can't detect electrical waves directly. But if some badly shielded audio device picks up that electromagnetic radiation and amplifies it, we hear an annoying, constant, low-pitched hum in the background of whatever we're trying to listen to.
Malfunctioning analog equipment makes that noise, as do flourescent bulbs. Of course the room must be pretty quiet to hear the bulbs.
Right, your star trek is neat. What do you think about quality human American Navy Pentagon people acknoleging, crazy, unexplained things.
In space there is no air for sound to travel, but there are planets with atmospheres that can have sounds
Not sure how someone can say it's what X planet sounds like, but that's marketing
Found the video, I have no idea how they got the sounds. Saturn sounds hellish.

In our solar system, they believe our planet is the only one that can support life.
I guess it seems kind of creepy that other planets would just be vacant and dead, especially since five of them are so much bigger than Earth.
It is either: there are extratereateral folks working with us.
Or, the us government is fucking with Us and other governments and impying there are Aliens among us. To mess with the Chinese.
Or- like smart people like Elon Musk would say, it is likely we are living in a simulation.
I dont know why people think he's so smart.
He's either an actor or just a rich person getting duped into thinking rockets can land and funding fake technology.
UFOs are native to earth, there's no evidence otherwise.
Ive never thought of him as smart. He once blurted that to make Mars warm enough to be habitable it would need to be bombarded with nukes. Within 24 hours he retracted the statement, i assume, because he either realized how stupid the idea was or someone smarter than him told him how dumb he sounded.
He has well educated and intelligent people working under him and that is all.
He made an electric car relatively pratical against dozens of giant internal combustion car companies and giant fossil fuel companies desires. He somehow made space travel and landing more efficient than the biggest budget nations. Yup Elon Musk isn't that smart.
He probably paid a team of scientists to come up with it and then took all the credit.
Exactly, electric cars have existed since cars existed, the petroleum industry just kept all the automakers using gasoline.
I think steam was really the best type of car power source. All the fastest and most efficient cars in the early 1900s and 10s were steam cars, imagine if that technology had 120 years of fine tuning.
They were making electric cars in the early 1900s.
Space travel is fake, it's physically impossible to land a rocket on a boat. He is either
1) Aware of this, and in that case he's a paid actor on TV, which is likely OR
2) Very dumb, and is getting conned into dumping money into fake technology.
Exoplanets are pretty strange, especially the two you've listed. Space is huge and there's so much we don't know about it.
I dont believe alot of stuff about there being a planet named asdfghjl21 thats 20 million light years away. I believe the ones that can be seen with a telescope. I think alot of that shit is bullshit tho.
Because the reaserch you're doing is a lie being told to you by a religious cult.
They have no freaking clue whats on any of these planets and have zero way to get information outside of telescopes, so they make it up. Keeps you sending them money to do fake research.
As someone who does planetary research, I want to say that this is soooo far from the truth. There’s a lot we can determine about exoplanets with today’s technology. A lot of people/conspiracy theorists have this image of a bunch of guys in lab coats in a dark room funneling government money into black research projects, whereas in real life we’re just a bunch of normal people that enjoy science (and make real discoveries), and sometimes crack fart jokes.
Not scared about aliens watching me, but I'm scared about lots of other space stuff, plus space topics give me high amounts of existential crisis as well.
