Anderson T. - Supersonic lyrics

We're all used to that idea
That light travels faster than sound

As a sonic boom

We're all used to that idea
That light travels faster than sound
Think about thunderstorms
You always see the lightning before you hear the thunder

Despite the fact that both occured the same time
Sound travels at approximately 330 meters per second
Which is pretty fast

However man has been able to beat this speed
And break the sound barrier with supersonic travel
The incredible thing about breaking the sound barrier
Is that it not only produces an audible effect
But also a visible one

Since this over pressure is released very quickly
It is audible as a sonic boom
Have a listen to one

Boom
