ok?
A cave is a physical medium.
So when thunder echoes, what is its physical medium?
air is the medium in which sound travels through
I’m not asking for what the thunder is traveling through, I’m asking what medium is causing thunder’s sound to bounce.
i don't know what that's supposed to mean
Hmmm
do you not know how sound works
how is Derek here
I’m alright. Just trying to pull proverbial teeth.
I’m trying to tie my argument together with the fact everyone treats our environment like a closed system. Problem is, that only works when there’s a physical container to keep it closed. Mainstream science wants the benefit of a closed and open system simultaneously without a physical barrier, when that scenario doesn’t exist in any experiment we can verify.
but
like
wait
what are you saying then
that because thunder travels that the earth is covered or something
or enclosed
??
is sound really this hard or something
Sounds like it
Heh
Keep it simple.
i'm completely lost
I don’t know of any.
Vaccum
like
A vacuum? .. Uh, no.

why do we need to worry about echoes if all we are talking about is sound
and the sound that thunder is
um are you saying thunder doesnt bounce off of stuff?
the sound bounces off of buildings and other objects
he's saying that thunder needs to bounce off something for us to hear it or something like that
I don't think so
Maybe it bounces off the ground
for some reason sound is really complicated
well no, but thunders do produce somewhat of an echo because of the buildings they bounce off of
and yes sometimes the ground too
there doesn't need to be an echo for us to hear it because lightning is the source of the sound
we just need to be in the path of the pressure
