How many decibels can destroy the universe?

Converting the energy of 1,100 decibels to mass yields 1.113x1080 kg, meaning that the radius of the resulting black hole's event horizon would exceed the diameter of the known universe. Voila! No more universe.

Can we produce 1100 dB sound?

You can't add them. You have to add the logarithm. so if 1 atomic bomb is 250 db, 5 atomic bombs exploding simultaneously is 250 + 10*log(5) = 257 dB. so to get 1100 dB, you need to explode 1*10^85 atomic bombs or 1 with 85 zeros on the right.

How many decibels is a nuclear bomb?

Nuclear bomb – Explosion

A nuclear bomb explosion has been reported to be 240 to 280 dB+. A sound level meter set 250 feet away from test sites peaked at 210 decibels.

Is 200 dB possible?

Sounds between 170-200 dB are so intense that they can cause lethal issues like pulmonary embolisms, pulmonary contusions, or even burst lungs. As for exploding heads, you can expect that from sounds above 240 dB. However, such high intensity sounds are very rare.

The Most Efficient Way to Destroy the Universe – False Vacuum



Why is 194 dB the loudest sound possible?

A sound of 194 dB has a pressure deviation of 101.325 kPa, which is ambient pressure at sea level, at 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit). Essentially, at 194 dB, the waves are creating a complete vacuum between themselves. You can go louder than 194 dB, but that's not technically a “sound” anymore.

How loud is a supernova?

If we suppose that the same fraction of a supernova's energy is converted to sound, and a supernova releases 1044 joules, That means that about 1044/(840 billion) = 1032 Joules of sound energy, thirty-two orders of magnitude greater than 120 dB, or about 440 decibels.

Is the Sun really loud?

The answer might surprise you, as solar physicists estimate that the solar surface noise would be approximately 100dB by the time it reaches Earth! The enormity of the sun's surface paired with its capability of generating of tens of thousands of watts of sound energy per meter makes the sun astronomically loud.

How loud is a grenade?

The grenade is thrown and explodes after a roughly 1.5-second delay. The explosion of magnesium-based pyrotechnic chemicals causes a very bright flash and a loud sound (160−180 decibels), which can cause temporary blindness, temporary loss of hearing and loss of balance, as well as a sense of panic.

What's the loudest noise ever?

The loudest sound in recorded history came from the volcanic eruption on the Indonesian island Krakatoa at 10.02 a.m. on August 27, 1883. The explosion caused two thirds of the island to collapse and formed tsunami waves as high as 46 m (151 ft) rocking ships as far away as South Africa.

How loud is a blue whale?

Not only can baleen whales emit calls that travel farther than any other voice in the animal kingdom, these giants of the deep also create the loudest vocalisations of any creature on earth: the call of a blue whale can reach 180 decibels – as loud as a jet plane, a world record.

How loud is space?

No, you cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travel.

Can sound create black holes?

A sonic black hole, sometimes called a dumb hole or acoustic black hole, is a phenomenon in which phonons (sound perturbations) are unable to escape from a region of a fluid that is flowing more quickly than the local speed of sound.

How loud is Krakatoa?

The pressure wave generated by the colossal third explosion radiated out from Krakatoa at 1,086 km/h (675 mph). The eruption is estimated to have reached 310 dB, loud enough to be heard 5,000 kilometres (3,100 mi) away.

What is 500 dB loud?

That means 500 decibels is 1029 times more powerful than a nuclear bomb from 250 feet away. Supernovae are estimated to be around 1028 megatons which means if the nukes mentioned above are 100 kilotons each, 500 decibels would be like listening to a supernova 250 feet in front of your face.

How many decibels is the human voice?

Sound is measured in decibels (dB). A whisper is about 30 dB, normal conversation is about 60 dB, and a motorcycle engine running is about 95 dB. Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing.

What causes a Hypernova?

A hypernova (sometimes called a collapsar) is a very energetic supernova thought to result from an extreme core-collapse scenario. In this case, a massive star (>30 solar masses) collapses to form a rotating black hole emitting twin energetic jets and surrounded by an accretion disk.

Why was Krakatoa so loud?

In general, sounds are caused not by the end of the world but by fluctuations in air pressure. A barometer at the Batavia gasworks (100 miles away from Krakatoa) registered the ensuing spike in pressure at over 2.5 inches of mercury. That converts to over 172 decibels of sound pressure, an unimaginably loud noise.
