Cern, Europe: Scientists were left scratching their heads last night following the discovery that the first protons to be successfully collided in the billion dollar Hadron Collider sounded like a 'Zzzzt', and not like a 'Pop!' as many had expected.
Speaking shortly after the discovery, scientist Bossof Magunigan IV, told this web site:
"Yes, 'Zzzzt' was a complete surprise. It sounded like a startled bee."
Experts had compiled a top five possible sounds that a high speed proton collided in the Hadron Collider would make, but zzzzt didn't even make it into that.
The top five was:
1 |
Pop! |
2 |
Icky icky ick |
3 |
Shazam |
4 |
Ppppp...p |
5 |
BANG! |
The debate over what the big bang sounded like may now have to be revised from Bang to something else.
That fella we quoted earlier also said:
"It is too soon to say that the Big Bang sounded like a Zzzzzt, but it's also true that there is no evidence so far that it sounded like a bang either. There is billions of dollars worth of work still to be done."
