Message:
Traditional experiments on sound waves in a vacuum have suggested
that sound waves do not travel.
Howvever, since pressure waves cannot propagate from a low
pressure area to a higher pressure area, would it not be possible
that we are just unable to register anything, being on the
outside the vacuum?
I would also like to know if any experiments have studied the
ultrasonic waves in vacuum.
