SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept that sound waves possess mass, supported by a recent study highlighted in Science Alert. Participants question the measurement methods for sound wave mass and its implications in total darkness, referencing the principle of invariant mass. The conversation also touches on the relationship between energy, specifically kinetic energy, and gravitation, emphasizing that sound energy is a form of kinetic energy. The discussion concludes with a recommendation to consult the Wikipedia article on invariant mass for further clarification.
