Скачать или смотреть SOUND Is Doing Something To Your Body Right Now — Gell-Mann's Warning

Sound. You hear it. You feel it at a concert. You use it to communicate every moment of your waking life. You think you know exactly what it is.
You don't.
Sound does not stop at your ears. Right now, pressure waves are passing through your skin, your organs, your bones, and the fluid inside your cells. At high enough intensity, sound tears matter apart — creating vacuum bubbles that collapse at the temperature of the surface of the sun. At the quantum level, sound is not a wave at all. It is a rain of phonons — discrete quanta of vibrational energy — and those phonons are the hidden mechanism behind one of the most exotic phenomena in all of physics: superconductivity.
In this video, we explore the disturbing physics of sound through the voice of Murray Gell-Mann — the physicist who spent his career finding the single deep principle underneath apparent complexity. From pressure waves and cavitation to phonons and Cooper pairs to sonoluminescence and plasma in a glass of water. What you call hearing is the last step in a chain of physical events far stranger than you were ever told.
