Radiation just means energy. Light is a form of radiation,
as is the rest of the EM spectrum, as is sound.

Sound is not "radiation" as physicists use the term: it's a mechanical
vibration transmitted through a medium by collisions between the
constituent molecules. People do speak of sound as "radiating" from a
source, in the same way that concentric ripples "radiate" from a stone
tossed into a pond, but these loose usages describe superficial
appearances rather than the nature of the underlying phenomena.

As a means of energy transport sound would be classified as a type of
conduction AFAICT, as distinct from radiation or convection.


Actually, it is exactly the same mechanism which sound uses to
transverse the liquid air which it uses to transverse the liquid water.

The same waves you see on the surface of the pond transverse the water
below, and the air above. In air, you cannot see them, and the
frequency of the waves is below human hearing.

I mean, grab a book on physics, it is like, DUH!

Sound cannot transverse space, a vacuum. However, radio waves do. Both
sound waves and radio waves need a media to transverse or they cannot
travel a distance. The media in space is the ether (or, aether.)
Einstein called it the "gravitational aether."

A google search on gravitational aether and Einstein will give one much
to digest ...

You quoting Einstein....

BWHAHAHAHA! The amazing irony.
