Cosmic Background Music

Roughly after some 13 billion years later, some creatures appeared on this planet and developed curiosity. They built tools and technology, and observed the footprints of their atomic ancestors -- some individual photons that have been redshifted for so long, silently, waiting to be known.

Listening to the Cosmic microwave background is a journey to our own past.

You know what would be cooler?

It would be cooler if when you click on a point, it actually "moves" from the previous point to the new point.
To be honest I was a bit disappointed to see you are just mixing three waves.
But was surprised you get a random sounding thing just by mixing them (or I missed something?).
But cool idea.
Thanks for sharing.
