Science tells us that outer space, contrary to popular depictions, is a vast, silent place. However, Matt Russo, who holds degrees in Jazz Guitar and Astrophysics from the University of Toronto, begs to differ. Watch as Matt takes us on a musical journey through the Trappist-1 system and beyond, showing how the universe is full of music that we just need to learn how to hear. A planetarium operator at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics and an astronomy professor at Seneca College, Matt recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics where he developed models to help understand the inner workings of planet-forming disks.
In May 2017, Matt launched a project called SYSTEM Sounds which converts the rhythm and harmony of astronomy into music and sound. Their first target was the recently discovered TRAPPIST-1 system which hosts 7 Earth-sized planets, some with the potential to support life. The extraordinary pattern of resonances in TRAPPIST-1 leads to a remarkably musical result. Their work was featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, on BBC Radio 6, and on CBC's Quirks and Quarks. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
