The discussion revolves around the nature of the wave equation, specifically why it is expressed as a second order partial derivative rather than a first order partial derivative. Participants explore the implications of this formulation and its adequacy in describing wave phenomena.
Participants express differing views on the formulation of the wave equation, with some suggesting that a first order equation is insufficient while others are seeking further clarification on the topic. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the necessity of the second order form.
Some participants have not provided specific definitions of the wave equation, which may affect the clarity of the discussion. Additionally, the reasoning behind the preference for second order derivatives over first order ones is not fully explored.

I see. The first oder wave equation can not perfectly describe a wave. Thank you for link.ToBePhysicist said:
