“When elephants respond to news from their miles-distant family members, details they’ve taken in through acoustic sensitivities in their feet. When the searching roots of trees grow toward the energetic flow of water, sometimes tangling themselves in underground pipes—isn’t that too a kind of listening? What about when hummingbirds return to the specific vibration of nectar-drenched flowers? When whales share songs across oceans and recognize the pauses made by one another’s breathing? Hushed or amplified, implausible yet audible, everything is humming—from quantum to cosmic, from the inner life of electrons to the membranes of outer space. The entire universe is sonic.”
