When you read about something like the horn antenna, you think you're going to show up and there'll be security.

And you don't imagine you just drive up and there it is, this incredible, gigantic sort of ear trumpet, open and free to anyone that wants to go and have a look.

And when you say, okay, this picked up...

The birth of the universe.

Yeah, well, you believe it.

It has that kind of presence to it.

How are there not lines of people wanting to see it?

I typically work across science and design and health and technology and the environment.

We were chatting and I said to him, hey, you know, you've used this to receive, but have you ever used it to transmit?

And he's like, well, no, not really.

And I was like, well, in theory, could it transmit?

And he's like, ah, yeah, but I don't think it would work because, you know, sound waves get to a point in the Earth's atmosphere and then stop.

He was all like... Beatty, I figured out how I can do it.

I can do an update on the horn.

So do you still want to do it?

It's like, yeah, absolutely.

And we played the first part of it, pointing it down at the ground.

We used it as a loudspeaker and it sounds... What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It sounds fantastic.
