The Big Misconception About SOUND — Feynman's Mind-Bending Discovery

What actually travels from a speaker to your ear when you hear sound? Most people picture something flying through the air. A burst of air blasted from mouth to ear. But that is completely wrong, and the real answer is far stranger. This seems obvious — air carries sound. But if air really traveled from speaker to listener, every conversation would create a wind, and every lecture hall would run out of breathable air on one side. Something else is going on, and it changes how you understand not just sound, but all of physics. In this video, we explore the physics of sound through the lens of Richard Feynman's legendary teaching style — starting with a seemingly simple question and pulling the thread until it connects to molecular physics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and even relativity. Inspired by Feynman's treatment of wave propagation and the kinetic theory of gases from his Caltech lectures. 📚 SOURCES • Richard P. Feynman, Robert B.
