Phi for All Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The medium sound could travel in is full of cats who're meowing instead of listening, so you'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigL Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Why is everyone always picking on cats ? Really. My cats want to know. Or is this a comment on the membership, and the quality of discussion here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. You could have an infinite number of cats spaced every metre on an infinitely long line. Or 1 cat on each of the intersections of an infinite square array Or even on the apexes of an infinite array of intersections of a 1 metre "3D" grid. The cats in in the last scenario would definitely overheat. I think the ones in the first scenario (a line of cats) would be OK on that score. I'm not sure about a planar array of cats. But there's no problem putting a space between the cats to make room for a listener. The big problem would be herding the cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
