| contents | Unlike electromagnetic telescopes, gravitational-wave (GW) detectors cannot produce pretty pictures, but we can convert GW signals into sound. I compute what the Universe actually sounds like by averaging over $\sim10^6$ synthetic compact binary coalescence events occurring throughout 2026. The result: a soothing, low-frequency rumble, perfect for sleeping, meditation, or contemplating the violent nature of spacetime. This is the $Universal\ harmony$, audio file included! |
