What did everyone think to 'The Man from Tallahassee'? I thought this was a great episode. Really starting to get better now :).
Very good episode. I don't know what happened at the beginning of the season (well, I do, it turned into a soap opera) but it's certainly picked back up in the last few episodes. Hope it carries on like this.

Shockwaves travel faster then sound though?

Think of what a shock wave is.

Now think about what a sound is.

Now do you realise why your post doesn't make sense in the slightest?

As explanations go that wasnt great tbh

I believe sounds at their extremes resemble shockwaves?

As mentioned here:
194.09DB(P) = 1 (ONE) AIR ATMOSPHERE = 14.6962 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH = 14.6962 P.S.I.= 1 ATM
SOUND WAVES DISTORT AND ARE NOW DEFINED AS SHOCK WAVES AND THEY BEGIN TO FOLLOW SHOCK WAVE BEHAVIOR. PARTICLE VELOCITY (BLAST WIND) = 590 FEET / SECOND = 180 METERS PER SECOND = 402 MILES PER HOUR. -REF.2.

A shock wave may be described as the furthest point upstream of a moving object which "knows" about the approach of the object.

So Hurley might be able to hear or feel a meteor before it actually hits? I'm not sure but my explanation is better :p
