They did not transmit sound through a vacuum, they transmitted radio. May their armpits be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels for that title.

- amluto 3y agoThe researchers didn’t even transmit sound — they developed a model suggesting that sound could be transmitted. The paper is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42005-023-01293-y.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s42005-023-01293-y.pdf And is not nearly as egregious as the press release.
- peter_d_sherman 3y ago>They did not transmit sound through a vacuum, they transmitted radio. That's an interesting observation -- and that may in fact be true -- although more experimentation might be needed to confirm that as an absolute, irrepudiable fact... Now, if that is indeed true -- then that would create a link between radio waves on the macro scale and Quantum/Electric/Electronic tunneling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling) on the micro scale... In other words, if that were the case, then we'd be several steps away from proving that Quantum Tunneling -- is the exact same phenomena as Radio Waves, just at a smaller scale... Or that Radio Waves -- are the exact same phenomena as Quantum Tunneling, just at a larger scale... Also, if we think about it -- we realize that both sound waves and radio waves -- are both sub-categories of vibratory/oscillatory/frequency phenomena... that is, they are both forms of vibration... Anyway, a very interesting observation!
