What if we Could Actually Hear the Sun?
It is my hope that during my brief passage through this universe, that I may share with you the joy of hearing the music of the stars... knowing that the composer was from a distant place and the songs were written eons ago, which now fall gently on this place for all to hear.
-Richard Baker
What would it be like if we could really hear the music of the stars? What if the vacuum of space did not shield us from the sound of our deceptively serene, warm and beautiful sun...
At daybreak, a distant rumble would ominously grow as the horrific crescendo radiating from the mammoth churning plasma sphere, 330 thousand times the size of our Earth, rising in our sky.
From a distance of over 93 million miles, our sun, who’s violent superheated core fuses 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, and temperatures reaching 15 million kelvin, would deliver a sustained noise level of 100 decibels over the entire sunlit portion of our planet in an unwavering roar that would be capable of drowning the sound of a Boeing 707 at maximum thrust less than 6000 feet away.
The thunderous sound emanating from our sun would continue unrelenting for the entirety of each and every day, until it sets to the West, with the rumble subsiding along with the daylight, to a faint hum in the distance, until tomorrow morning, when it all begins once more.
