Evidence (2023-07-26): In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before (1, 2, 3, 4) because it revisits the actual sound waves discovered in data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The popular misconception that there is no sound in space originates with the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate through. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, has copious amounts of gas that envelop the hundreds or even thousands of galaxies within it, providing a medium for the sound waves to travel. [...] These sonifications were led by the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) and included as part of NASA’s Universe of Learning (UoL) program with additional support from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope/Goddard Space Flight Center. The collaboration was driven by visualization scientist Kimberly Arcand (CXC), astrophysicist Matt Russo, and musician Andrew Santaguida (both of the SYSTEMS Sound project). NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory’s Chandra X-ray Center controls science from Cambridge Massachusetts and flight operations from Burlington, Massachusetts. NASA’s Universe of Learning materials are based upon work supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AC65A to the Space Telescope Science Institute, working in partnership with Caltech/IPAC, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Evidence (2023-01-13): This is a cluster of young stars – about one to two million years old – located about 20,000 light-years from Earth. In its visual image form, data from Hubble (green and blue) reveals thick clouds where stars are forming, while X-rays seen by Chandra (purple) penetrate through that haze. In the sonified version of this data, sounds sweep from left to right across the field of view with brighter light producing louder sound. The pitch of the notes indicates the vertical position of the sources in the image with the higher pitches towards the top of the image. The Hubble data is played by strings, either plucked for individual stars or bowed for diffuse clouds. Chandra’s X-ray data is represented by bells, and the more diffuse X-ray light is played by more sustained tones.

Evidence (2023-10-04): Before stars or planets, before black holes and white dwarfs, before even atoms or rays of light, the Universe reverberated with something surprising – sound. This primordial hum moved at more than half the speed of light through a superheated plasma of baryons, photons, and dark matter. [...] The Planck Space Telescope was able to pick up echos of BAOs from the early Universe and scientists have been able to translate them into audible frequencies, in the example below. The hum is composed of a low tone with higher overtones. The whoosing sound that can be heard is an artefact of the processing used to make the sound file. [...] The blast of light energy that now spread through the Universe was so powerful that it still jangles radio telescopes and tantalises physicists more than 13 billion years later as a signal known as cosmic microwave background radiation. The "CMB" is the oldest and most detailed visual record of the early Universe. Here too scientists can see a "fossil record" of the Universe's first sounds.

Evidence (2023-03-05): NASA puts the sounds of the universe into a new album What if, instead of seeing the universe as an explosion of light, we could hear it? That's where Kimberly Arcand, a visualization scientist and emerging tech lead for NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory, comes in. She's part of NASA's Sonification Project, an effort to turn data gathered from the universe into sounds, in part as a way to allow visually impaired people to experience the depths of our galaxy.

Evidence (2024-04-25): The new documentary, "Listen to the Universe," now available on NASA+ (https://plus.nasa.gov/) explores how these sonifications are created and profiles the team that makes them possible. [...] "Sonifications add a new dimension to stunning space imagery, and make those images accessible to the blind and low-vision community for the first time," said Liz Landau, who leads multimedia efforts for NASA’s Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters, Washington, and oversaw production of the "Listen to the Universe" documentary. "I was honored to help tell the story of how Dr. Arcand and the System Sounds team make these unique sonic experiences and the broad impact those sonifications have had."

Evidence (2023-02-08): But what about experiencing these data with other senses, like hearing? Sonification is the process that translates data into sound. Our new project brings parts of our Milky Way galaxy, and of the greater Universe beyond it, to listeners for the first time. [...] In 2020, experts at the Chandra X-ray Center and System Sounds began the first ongoing, sustained program at NASA to "sonify" (turn into sound) astronomical data. The project was a rapid response to the coronavirus pandemic which had disrupted our 3D modeling/printing project with members of the blind and low vision community. Sonifications, being completely digital, were another way to work with our community partners during a time of physical isolation. [...] We take actual observational data from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope or James Webb Space Telescope and translate it into corresponding frequencies that can be heard by the human ear.

Evidence (2023-07-26): Data from ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has captured the dynamic movement of the Sun’s atmosphere for over 20 years. Today, we can hear the Sun’s movement — all of its waves, loops and eruptions — with our own ears. [...] The Sun is not silent. The low, pulsing hum of our star’s heartbeat allows scientists to peer inside, revealing huge rivers of solar material flowing around before their eyes — er, ears. NASA heliophysicist Alex Young explains how this simple sound connects us with the Sun and all the other stars in the universe. This piece features low frequency sounds of the Sun.

Evidence (2024-08-09): The agency recently tweeted an eerie audio clip that represents actual sound waves rippling through the gas and plasma in this cluster, which is 250 million light years from Earth. "The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel," the agency tweeted. "A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound. Here it’s amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!" Though the acoustic signals generated by the black hole were first identified in 2003 in data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, they have never been brought into the hearing range of the human ear—until now. "In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before… because it revisits the actual sound waves discovered in data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory," NASA said in a statement. "In this new sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time."
Claim: WEF Orders Global Water Rationing System !! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2023-10-05): The claim that the WEF plans to introduce a global water rationing system is false. There is no evidence to support this claim, and WEF also has denied these unsubstantiated claims.
Claim: WEF Orders Global Water Rationing System !! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2020-06-03): Globally, 3 billion people are without access to modern fuels or technologies for cooking/heating, 900 million people lack access to safe water, 2.6 billion lack improved sanitation, 2 billion people lack food security intermittently, and more than 820 million people are chronically hungry due to extreme poverty. This paper on the allocation of and access to water, energy and food (WEF) nexus rests on the ‘Rawlsian’ conception of distributive justice to human security and the competing demands for WEF. Based on a review of papers on access and allocation published from 2008 through 2020, this paper finds that ‘policy coordination’ among all the actors (at all levels in general and local levels in particular) governing the water–energy–food nexus is the key to promoting equitable allocation of and access to WEF. Only legitimate governance with robust legal structures in place can provide for the equitable allocation in the WEF nexus. Effective stakeholder participation in governance of the nexus is necessary and ensured when power asymmetries, interdependencies and rights are accounted for in principles of procedural justice. Moreover, to ensure access to people in the WEF nexus, the distribution of the three goods and related rights must be delivered as a ‘triplet’. [...] Gain, A. K., Giupponi, C., & Benson, D. (2015).

Claim: WEF Orders Global Water Rationing System !! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-05)
Evidence (2023-04-14): The World Economic Forum in conjunction with the UN has proposed a global water rationing control mechanism wherein – they are the Ambassadors of all water. Water needs to be rationed in order to fuel equality in Africa. But the rationing would take place everywhere. Us menial plebes just are not savvy enough to control water and need a global entity to do this for us. In line with the new global entity WHO controlling everyone’s healthcare – and Pandemic responses. [...] According to the WEF, 2 billion people don’t have water security. But they are making headway because just 20 years ago the number was 4 billion or more – causing half the globe to die of thirst. That’s quite a remarkable achievement… if it were true. [...] The WEF ‘predicts’ that as of 2040 there will be a 40% deficit in global water supplies. Yet in all their scientific studies they avoid one clear solution – reservoirs. Government mismanagement in states like California have driven the droughts by refusing to construct reservoirs claiming it is too expensive. While the cost today to build a reservoir is considered to be roughly $500 million – California’s newest project was billed at $5.2 billion! A heck of a lot of kickbacks! Construction continues to be pushed forward with a new start date sometime in 2023=2024-2025. Maybe.

Evidence (2023-05-09): A post circulating on Facebook links to a Rumble video claiming the World Economic Forum (WEF) has partnered with the United Nations (U.N.) and declared that water is no longer a human right. The claim also says that the WEF has "ordered world governments to prepare to ration people's water supply" as part of The Great Reset to save the planet. Captions shared with this video mention WEF founder Klaus Schwab and claim that "elites" are taking ordinary people's rights from them. The Rumble video in question is from the channel The People's Voice, which is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. In the video uploaded on April 12, NewsPunch writer Sean Adl-Tabatabai refers to an article published the same day by The People's Voice, aka NewsPunch. The article is titled "Water is Not a Human Right': WEF Orders Govt's To Begin Rationing Water Into Homes," and claims the WEF is trying to seize control of the world's water supplies. The video makes refers to the U.N.'s 2023 Water Conference. The Rumble video refers to the WEF's March 16 article titled "What is the U.N. 2023 Water Conference and why is it so important? Two experts explain." The article does not discuss taking away the human right to water. The WEF has never advocated for taking away the human right to water. Its global water supply issue report concerns demand and supply and the problems developing countries could face.
