God is spoken of as light and I’ve often heard it said that God spoke the worlds into
existence. John begins his gospel with
the words “In the beginning was the Word…”
I’ve heard the phrase used that interpreted that idea by saying God sang
the Universe into being. However you
want to interpret that concept, it becomes even more interesting when you learn
what NASA scientists have been discovering about sounds throughout space in the
last few years.
The Voyager 1 and 2 space crafts were launched to delve into
deep space and send messages back to earth about what they discovered. The recorders that they use assess light
waves and other energy waves and converts them into sound for the listener, and
sends them back to earth periodically.
All this is necessary because in space there is nothing to carry
traditional sound pressure waves in air to our eardrums (the catch phrase “you
can scream all day in space and no one will hear you” says it all.)
So this converted combination of radio frequency waves and light waves
all communicate sound to us in space.
When you listen to this “symphony” of sound you hear some pretty
interesting stuff from the different space phenomenon, and I encourage you to
take a listen sometime. Just YouTube space
sounds on your computer if you are curious.
Why do I point this out?
Well, partly because it is just plain exciting to curious minds. Even more so, it strikes me that God is “light”
and “music” and perhaps really did “sing” the universe into existence…and
continues to hum his melody to keep the universe in tune.
This link will take you to one example, but there are a host
of others as well.
P.S. In one of the Star Trek movies, Voyager
returns from outer space highly modified by it’s adventures…great flick! --
