How would your voice sound on other planets? Not just very different, but also unrecognisable. The sound of your voice is dependant on specific factors such as the density of the atmosphere, which influences both the vibration of your vocal cords and the speed with which the sound is transmitted. The denser the atmosphere, the faster sound will travel. On Venus for example, the atmosphere is of very high density and consists of carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid. Your voice therefore, would sound much deeper there compared to Earth. To anyone listening, you would also appear much smaller, because the human brain is fine-tuned to estimate the size of a subject based on the echoes from the sounds it makes. Due to the density on Venus, the echoes of your very deep voice would subconsciously lead another human standing nearby you to perceive you as smaller in size than you actually are. In contrast, on Mars the density effect would heighten your pitch, however if you had a friend more than a meter away from you they would not be able to hear you at all. If they were close enough to hear you, they would perceive you as much larger than you are, based on the echoes of your voice. Scientists have developed a simulation software which not only demonstrates how your voice will sound in various places in the Solar System but also demonstrates how other typical sounds from Earth such as, a thunderstorm or music would sound on other worlds.

Over population, over consumption! Not #AprilFools

How do you raise awareness about population explosion? “Global Population Speak Out” thought that the simplest way would be to show people. The book “Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot” is available to buy here

Ocean Worlds

Earth isn’t the only ocean world in our solar system. Oceans could exist in diverse forms on moons and dwarf planets, offering clues in the quest to discover life beyond our home planet.

Biology is so cute it’s like “look at this fossil! It’s a trilobite” whereas physics is like S U B M I T T O T H E E V E R - I N C R E A S I N G E N T R O P Y O F T H E U N I V E R S E
