Re: Alien Audio

2005-01-16 by steve_the_composer

Thanks for the post.  I checked out the audio and the website sounds 
like BS to me. The audio clips do not sound like "The Sounds of 
Titan" -- just audio couched in scientific mumbo-jumbo.

The returned radar signal (bounced back from the surface) and 
converted to audio simply shows acceleration--as the craft gets 
closer to the ground, the bounce back time gets shorter and shorter 
according to the speed of the landing.

I suppose if you know the weight of the craft, you can use the 
frequency to calculate the force of Titan's gravity relative to 
earth. (Where is Charles Dodge when we need him? I would rather hear 
a composer create someting like "Titans Magnetic Fields.")

I would not call the conversion of bounce back signal to audio "The 
Sound of Titan."

On the other hand, the "wind" of Titan definitely tells me the moon 
is pink. Clearly, that is pink noise.  8-)
