why do u think so

yes

@Whiskey

We can tell how far away storms are by the echoes of thunder. The question is, what are their echoes bouncing off of?

thank

the pigeons!

my pp is the thing they are bouncing off of

the echoes are bouncing off the pigeons

no thats fake and gay @el_mas_kittycat

!mute @Whiskey

so you want to know what causes the echoes

the lightning itself is what creates the pressure wave

What are they bouncing off of?

why would they need to be bouncing off anything

why does it need to bounce in the first place if the lightning is what creates the sound

Every time we make an echo, it’s because noise we make bounces off a solid surface.

the sound that thunder creates just travels as far as it can go and the vibrations (the sound) die out sooner or later

i dont know what about that you dont get

i really don't know what the problem is

does thunder have to echo to be heard?

what do you want from us

maybe we should find out what you are inferring derek

if thunder NEEDS to bounce off something in your eyes to make an echo what is it bouncing off of do you think

When we are in a cave and shout, we hear an echo.

ok

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.
