["Preserved" has a theory about how to hear the sound of the universe being created.]
What will be heard when they pass the point were the chatter of the last 6,000 years at the spead of sound?
LET THERE BE LIGHT
then nothing but silence?

The only sound you can hear in space is the Blue Danube Waltz.
LOL.
Also, I wonder what Preserved is preserved in.
"What will be heard when they pass the point were the chatter of the last 6,000 years at the spead of sound?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and hazard a guess.
Um, no?
Do you have one of those dangerous jobs like Pest Control, and did you get exposed to toxic chemicals?
Did you pay attention at all in school, or were you watching squirrels do the nasty outside the window?
Has any medical practitioner ever used your name and, "brain damage" in the same sentence?
If none of the above applies to you, you have no good excuse for being such a COSMIC FAILURE.
@szaleniec
How DARE you insult the U graduates that way! No. This deserves much lower. So low we're past the latin alphabet, past greek, and even cyrillic. So low, we've managed to go all the way through the CJK ideograph section on character map. We've actually ended up at the end of Unicode itself - 0xFFFD, which is, quite appropriately "?"
"Theoretically."
Assuming that:
1. We can travel Mach 100 without being shredded by space debris
2. This sound of yours is so impossibly loud that even with the inverse square law, you can hear any of it at the distance you would be at.
3. 60 years? Leaving Earth for weeks is difficult enough. 60 years each way is a lifetime commitment. Some people won't even make it that far, much less back.
4. SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH SPACE?? SRSLY?
Though, if we ever invent Faster than Light travel and managed to go 14 billion light years away from the center of the universe, we could theoretically observe the big bang. (We would need some kind of craaaazy telescope.)
Wouldn't that put a hole in their "But no one observed it" argument.
Or possibly we will witness an the FSM stretch out his noodly appendage and create everything. Either one would be fine.
GO TO SCHOOL.
The real one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"Obviously, God would have the voice of Brian Blessed."
*smiles and nods* That would, indeed, explain why the residents of Heaven have been traditionally shown as having wings.
*cues up the Queen music to start the battle of Armageddon* DIIIIIIIVE!!
@Captain Obvious: "Though, if we ever invent Faster than Light travel and managed to go 14 billion light years away from the center of the universe, we could theoretically observe the big bang. (We would need some kind of craaaazy telescope.)"
I'd be obliged if you could point to the centre of the universe.
Thought not.
Now now guys, let's give the little Fundie a break.
Everyone who's read the Bible knows that "space" doesn't exist. The Earth is capped by a gigantic transparent dome called the Vault of the Heavens, above which there's water. And sound does travel through water!
Or, and this is just a thought, we could hook up a radio telescope to a speaker and listen to the background radiation from the big bang. We don't even have to wait 60 years, we could do it this afternoon if you're free.
Here, I got a U in GCSE Physics, and even I know this is way beyond dumb.
Also, people are writing Brian Blessed's name wrong. It's BRIAN BLESSED!!!!
Sound travels at the speed of sound. Going Mach is going faster than sound. I mean, there's really nothing right with your statement at all, but even traveling at 100 x sound you'd still only catch up to a hundred years, idiot.
You didn't think this through at all, ever, not even for a second huh.
It gets better in the next few posts:
Hootmon: "Its a nice thought, but sound doesnt propagate in the vaccuum of space."
Preserved: "We so much for that thought, I have a lot of those bouncing around in my head sometimes."
Well, this one gets the award for the best of the year thus-far. I really have never heard anything so ridiculous in all of my life. It's a grade-A zinger even for RR, which is, as we know, capable of generating some pretty serious zingers. I'm embarrassed for you, "Preserved". Sure, you might think that the well-deserved pillorying your comments get on this site will get you one of those heavenly crowns that you RR's are utterly obsessed with, but you DO deserve to be ridiculed, because your entire statement is ludicrous. I could probably write several hundred words in reply to your preposterous theorizing, but it's really like shooting fish in a barrel. Suffice to say, even if your imaginary friend did actually speak the words that created the universe; which it didn't; we could never hear them because sound doesn't travel through a vacuum. Were you at Prayer Camp when they talked about that in Grade 7 science, were you a home-skooled 'tard who thinks that the earth is the centre of the universe?
Not so great in theory because there is no transmission of sound in a vacuum you moron. You are thinking of radio and television transmissions...those you could catch up to if you could travel faster than light somehow...sound?...NO!
(This is the third time I have heard basically the same thing from R.R. in the last three months. Are they really that stupid?)
Let's ignore the fact that sound can't travel in a vacuum for a minute. How far would you have to go? Fortunately, I found out. Because there is no speed of sound in a vacuum, I used the speed of sound through air at sea level (340.29 m/s). Assuming that God said "Let there be light!" exactly 6000 years ago, the sound of his voice would be about 40,009,042,584.2 miles from Earth. Better start walking.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
Preceded by
"Is this thing on?... <clears throat>"
& followed by
"Was that alright luvvy, or do you want another take?"
Listen up, Dipshit. (Pun intended.) If you travel through anything, you create a shock wave. That's the gust you feel from a fast truck if you're standing on the shoulder of the highway. A boat creates a V-shaped shock wave known as a wake. If you break the sound barrier, you create a similar V-shaped wave in the air, and that's the sonic boom people on the ground hear. A boat doesn't catch it's own wake, unless it turns around. Are you planning on doing that? Oh. Moot point. Sound doesn't travel through space. Your theory turns back on itself right there.
Please, for the sake of physics, LET THIS BE A FUCKING POE.
In space, no one can hear you commit suicide to escape the fundies.
I can already see the headlines:
"VOICE OF GOD DISCOVERED IN OUTER SPACE.
Sounds a lot like softly hissing gasses and whirring gyros"
But maybe all they need is HAL to look out the porthole and fuckin lipread God, no sound needed.
If only there were air in space. That carries sound clearly for as much as 6000 soundyears, no less.
Don't remember if I spake that loud.
Obviously just before "Let there be light" you'd hear "One, two, one, two, testing."
That's a really great idea! You know what might work better? Getting out a telescope and looking deep into the night sky, where we can actually see some of that "Let There Be Light" still swimming around out there. Turns out we CAN see the light of creation! Unfortunately for you it's not 6000 years away at the speed of sound, but trillions of years away at the speed of light.
Speed of sound is Slow... Give me the speed of Light!
Remember in space no one can hear you Cream unless you are some freak that can cream in Radio waves..
"If we can travel beyond the speed of sound then thoretically we could catch sound as it travels away from us if we are traveling faster than it. So if we were traveling at 100 times the speed of sound it would take us only 60 years to catch up with the sounds of creation. Theoretically."
OK. Off you go then. Let us know what you hear.
A simple down & dirty, no billions of Euros-spent on a LHC-required experiment:
Detune a radio from the station it's on, so that all you hear from the speaker is static. (Also for the visual equivalent, detune your TV from it's channel so all you see is 'snow' on the screen).
What you hear (& see on said TV) is the electromagnetic remnants of the Big Bang.
Also, Brig. Gen. Charles 'Chuck' Yeager USAF (Ret.), and every Astronaut, Cosmonaut & Taikonaut would like a word with you, Derpserve.
@Quantum Mechanic
'spead(sic)'
"That was the speed of stupid."
Q: What is the speed of sex?
A: 68 MPH, because at 69, you flip over. X3
Fuck knows that those like Derpserved at Ruptured Retards could do with a good hard shag to mellow out, to cure them of ye olde melancholie, and generally get with the programme.
Even if space wasn't a nearly perfect vacuum, it would still dissipate over such a massive distance to the point of being absorbed into this theoretical ether.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
