    This is one of those things that my mind refuses to believe actually looks like this. My mind can’t wrap itself around the idea that somehow moving faster than the waves that create sound creates a visual effect that noticeably bends light and it makes a wildly cool sound in the process? Now you’re being greedy.

      Think about moving a stick veeery slowly through water. No ripples or wake. Move it faster and one appears. Same thing with the air here. But I also find this a little unbelievable!

    Is this what they’re going to do with the former Spirit Airlines planes? Because if so…I have some bad news…
