  • there were no atoms and no medium for sound to travel

    Are we sure sound specifically needs atoms to propagate? Maybe its just matter (meaning the subatomic soup from before atoms formed) that propagated the waves? Or, maybe when the atoms coalesced such that the violence of things would have finally been able to ring? Wonder what note it would have been?

    Loud? Maybe. But at what frequency? Would it have been a super loud C sharp? These are fun questions to think on. Wish I knew how to ask Dr. Tyson on Star Talk.
