Check the vacuum hypothesis

A group of students is conducting experiments in the hope of finding an answer to the long-held hypothesis that sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.

A group of the Cambridge University Space Flight Organization (CUSF) is working on a project to launch smartphones into orbit on Earth, bringing with them footage of social members screaming along. type.

While the footage was played, the group hoped to find out whether the vacuum could be a sound propagation environment.

According to Edward Cunningham, one of the students who participated in the experiment, his group asked some people to send 10-second videos back to the scene where they were shouting. According to CUSF, they have received over 100 videos worldwide.

The 10 most popular clips, identified through an online commentary, will be used for the experiment.

Once in orbit, the smartphone will run the above clips, while the receiver will also be activated to collect sound.

According to the current hypothesis, experts believe that sound cannot be heard in a vacuum. But the CUSF team hopes to get the most accurate results through this practical test.
