but isnt the shockwave traveling at the speed of sound when its cracking? so how is there a faster speed of sound? Like I would expect the 1st shockwave propagating to be the speed of sound in the material but this seemed like there was 2. 1 faster like transverse wave and then a slower one that went at the calculated speed of sound

I see that's interesting. Basically the question is whether damage can be done faster than sound travels through a material? That violates my intuition too. I haven't watched the video yet.
