I was talking to my old man(father) we were on National Geographic Channel Watching then Something popped up an ad, then we had a debate about which is Faster I though it was Light. but my old man think its Sound.

Whats your though? Speed of Light or Sound?


p.s if i get it wrong with anything i'm fucking tired so don't make it a big deal out of it.

Speed of Light in Vacuum: 299 792 458 m / s
Speed of Sound in Vacuum: 0 m / s
also, speed of sound at sea level, on earth, normal atmosphere: 340.29 m / s
even that is slower than the Speed of Light.

Just take a look at flash. You always see the flash before you hear it

Another good example of how light is way faster than sound is that you always see the lightning way before you actually hear it.

Think about this, have you ever been on a mountain and yelled loud enough to make an echo? Your voice is being projected towards the nearest wall then bounced back at you, so you can hear the time it takes for it to arrive, but were you to turn on a spotlight onto a mirror, instantly it will reflect at you...

-did this explanation make ny sense, or was this all bollucks.
