    ‘Dumb Holes’, the acoustic analogue to the Black Holes?

  2. Rogi Says:

    Would it be an Acoustic Black Hole?


  3. foobar Says:

    Black Hole.


  4. Dibyo Says:

    1 is a black hole and 2/3 are references to non-gravitational black holes, ones for sound, for instance, which are called acoustic black holes?

  5. udupendra Says:

    Dumb hole? A non-gravitational acoustic black hole, that is.

  9. Mo Says:

    Oh sorry, acoustic black hole


  10. Nakul Says:

    acoustic black hole


  11. Deepthi JS Says:

    black holes and the artificially created sonic black holes.


  12. Logik Says:

    Answering my own question…
    This is called a dumb hole. analogous to the ‘black hole’. also called an “Acoustic Black hole” by the purists.
    Has been recently created by a bunch of physicists in a B.E condensate condition.

    1. Illustration of Hawking Radiation.
    2. Appears to be related to the buzz around LHC creating Micro-BlackHoles.

    Connect: Acoustic or Sonic Hawking Radiation??
    Used in unifying gravitational theories with quantum theories.

    A sonic black hole? dunno anything more catchy to call it… sound trap?


  18. superbrat Says:

    1= Black hole. 2,3 = acoustic black hole or black hole for sound
