A bit lighthearted, but mean in a specific area.

I was reading about why Concorde failed, and i went down a rabbit hole of supersonic travel, hypersonic travel etc.

They're all predicated on the speed of sound.

I've Googled sound waves, speed of sound, speed of sound for dummies, etc, and I just CAN'T GET IT!!!

Sound is caused by vibrations. Vibrations travel. At a certain speed. Etc etc etc...

It blows my tiny mind!

So I guess my question is, how can I grasp these things more easily, and what blows your mind?

Thanks all and thanks @Rummikub for the suggestions - I've signed up for one of the RI's virtual lectures this week.

I will also go to bed tonight, having learned from an initial Google of Concorde, about sound waves, frequency, telephones and just now, how humans produce words and sound.

Thank you everyone for being kind!
