Okey, so the medium is vacuum.

No. There is no medium.

What about sound waves? They operate in a lower frequency,

No. Sound waves are vibrations of a medium.

No. Sound waves are vibrations of a medium.
Yes, and the medium is particles in the air, water or more solid matter.

Vibrating is something that operates as a wave. The simplest form of wave is a sine(?)
Not all waves are vibrations and not all vibrations are waves. They are two different things that you are trying to mix up here.

At this point I am closing this thread. You seem to have some sort of weird “vibration” agenda. We are neither interested in helping you promote your agenda nor in the Sisyphean task of arguing about it. Please be aware that all posts must be consistent with the professional scientific literature.
