Now I want to hear "Minuet in G for War Tuba" :-)
One of the more interesting things about sailing on Lake Mead outside of Las Vegas was that when conditions were right you could hear people talking on the beach more than a mile away. That you could weaponize this phenomena seems pretty obvious in hindsight.
- cbanek 6y agoI love how sound carries over water. As a child, I used to sit on a dock on a small lake, and I could see the beach somewhere between half a mile and a mile away, and they would play volleyball. I could hear each noise as the ball was bumped, noticing how the sound was delayed after the viewing of the ball hit. I was totally amazed thinking, "I've just noticed the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound." Good times.
