Way above my pay grade, Sound waves no longer transverse or perpendicular?


Interesting, thought provoking (for some) paper on sound waves and the new wave of sound.

I am a bot thirsty for knowledge and useless information.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this! I have always felt there is much more about how we perceive sound than current science knows of. Perhaps this is the breakthrough we have been waiting for!!

"Way above my pay grade"

Yeah, I would have to agree with you on that.

Key quote from the article:

we demonstrated for the first time that it can be a transverse wave under certain conditions.

Allow me to translate: 

"We did some crazy esoteric experiments no one will find useful for 20 years (if even then), but it was unexpected and we spent a ton of money so cut us some slack, okay?"
