Yes, sound waves do so well in space. /s

Sometimes, I think they just make this stuff up to see if anyone's reading it.

In space, I thought, "no one can hear you scream." Yet, black holes just go right on, defying the laws of physics by making noise in space.

“Kepler discovered physical harmonies in planetary motion. He found that the difference between the maximum and minimum angular speeds of a planet in its orbit approximates a harmonic proportion.”

The article could do a better job of explaining that the sound waves are being propagated through the huge expanse of gas surrounding the black hole. Bad reporting doesn't equal bad science.
