Breaking The Sound Barrier - Explained You've probably heard of a vehicle ( like a concord ) 'Breaking the sound barrier' but I bet you don't know what it actually means! To break the sound barrier is to travel faster than sound travels, which is around 340 meters per second. So when you arrive at your destination everything would be silent for a few seconds after your arrival so that sound can catch up to you! I know this is nothing amazing but I still think its a cool concept and thought some of you might enjoy it Please check my other Opuss writings for subjects like possible time travel and stuff, thanks!

What about the sound that I'd two seconds ahead of you? You can't overtake sound, do you would arrive to that sound?

The speed of sound is not a constant. In order to break the barrier at 340m/s you'd have to be travelling in a temperature of 15-20c degrees. This would mean flying at a very low altitude which would not be allowed by the aviation authority. To break the sound barrier at 30,000ft, where the temperature is -25 to -30c degrees, you would only have to travel at approx 315m/s

I found it quite insulting that you would think people wouldn't know such a basic thing, I'm pretty sure everyone has an understanding of what the sound barrier is, you've just assumed that everyone here is an idiot thanks for that

Thanks for that Mephisto, didn't think very deeply as this popped into my head the other night, so thanks a lot. Blindmuggy, there are all sorts of people using this App, and although basic a lot of people don't read subjects like this. How you managed to take something like this to heart I have no idea...

@blindmuggy and to 'assume everybody here is an idiot' I would need to first assume that everybody wants to read my post. You know about this subject? Okay.. Don't read it, move along, just don't hate on people

@Theoretical wasn't hating I was insulted, here's hating why don't you educate yourself before you educate others.

@blindmuggy Before attempting to speak for more than just yourself, look at the 'likes'. Somebody enjoyed it... You must be pretty socially inept to be insulted by such a thing

@Theoretical I'm not speaking for anyone else I just don't like pompous self righteous people who say anything just to feel like they have some importance in life, find out real information stuff people wouldn't know and put it on there, besides what you wrote was wrong anyway, I don't like it and I have every right not to

You absolutely do have the right not to like it, of course. But you did try and speak for everyone, because you assumed everyone knows this when try don't. I know it's basic. I know it's easy. I even say that in the post, I'm sure there are much worse Opuss posts you can troll buddy

@blindmuggy "people who say anything just to feel like they have some importance in life" like you are here you mean? There is no need to be insulting. Like @Theoretical said, of you don't like it, move on.

@Theoretical @youngdad33 I suppose your right I acted out of instinct and took it personally I officially apologise and take back what I said, sometimes I don't think before I write I should not have been so judgemental

@blindmuggy good man! Not many people would apologise.
