The speed of sound was estimated and later measured centuries ago, but it was only recently that it has been possible actually travel faster than the speed of sound.
It turns out that while it is possible to travel faster than the speed of sound, there are a whole host of problems that go along with it.
Learn more about the speed of sound on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
