The Sound of Hydrogen

The video explores the sound of hydrogen, the universe's most common element. It discusses hydrogen's role in the cosmos and its historical significance, like the Hindenburg disaster. The tutorial explains how hydrogen, which typically doesn't produce sound, can be heard by converting its atomic spectrum into sound waves. This involves pitch-shifting to make it audible to humans. The concept is likened to false color images in astronomy, where non-visible light is shifted into the visible spectrum. The video concludes with a demonstration of this 'false pitch' sound.

How can we listen to hydrogen if it doesn't normally make noise?

What is the significance of shifting sound pitch to make it audible?
