What Does It Actually Take To Shatter Glass With Sound? | MythBusters

The myth is simple — a sonic boom is so powerful it can shatter glass — and Adam and Jamie's response is equally simple: build a shockwave generator, point it at every kind of glass they can find, and if that doesn't work, go find an actual fighter jet and use that instead, because MythBusters doesn't half-measures a myth about supersonic sound, it chases it down a runway and cranks it up until something breaks — the engineering is meticulous, the results are genuinely surprising, and the moment Adam finally produces a real sonic boom is the kind of controlled insanity that makes this show impossible to stop watching. Subscribe so you never miss an experiment:    / @mythbusterstvshow   Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
