eli5: How does tying 2 pieces of string together and talking actually work?
In: 0
Assuming you’re talking about tin can phones, it works because it’s just vibration being relayed through different mediums, ie air to can to strand, and then back. Air isn’t super great at conducting sound over distance, but solid objects (and liquids too actually) are much denser and can relay at a much higher velocity and over greater distance.
