Eli5 Why can light not carry sound?

619 views

From my very limited understanding sound is basically the vibrations in particles/atoms/ whatever, and light is some sort of weird mix between energy and very small particles, so why can light not carry sound? ( sorry if grammar/wording is bad high)

Edit: woke up to all of this, thank each and everyone of you so much!

Light is travelling so much faster than sound can and sound can’t travel in a vacuum, what you can do is have the two associated with each other in lightning. https://youtu.be/NQiqXdEHL_Q
