Yes, they are speculation.
The speed of sound in air at sea level is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s) or 768 miles per hour (mph). The speed of a typical rifle bullet, however, can range from around 600 to 1,200 m/s (1,300 to 2,700 mph).
Lag Calculation
To estimate the lag time, we can calculate the difference in distance traveled by the bullet and the sound wave during a given time interval. Let’s assume a bullet speed of 900 m/s (2,000 mph) and a sound wave speed of 343 m/s (768 mph).
For a 1-meter (3.3-foot) distance traveled by the bullet, the sound wave would lag behind by:
Δt = distance / (sound wave speed - bullet speed) = 1 m / (343 m/s - 900 m/s) ≈ 0.0035 seconds
This means that for every meter the bullet travels, the sound wave lags behind by approximately 3.5 milliseconds. As the bullet continues to travel, this lag increases proportionally.
Since we don't know the speed of the bullet, you can't even calculate when the sound passed the mic.
You are reaching - without having adequate knowledge of physics, or accurate input variables. We won't even discuss the absolutely terrible recording equipment you are using for calculating the speed of a bullet and exactly where the sound is during that bullet path. Totally dishonest.
I don't know what your agenda is, but it's not honest. Or you would have pointed all this out as potential flaws stating your theory is speculation based on lack of accurate input variables.
Thanks for putting the time to attempt to demonstrate that my conclusions are incorrect but you got it wrong.
First, what you’re calculating is not what you need to calculate to prove that the inconsistency between the supersonic shockwave sound and the bullet seen in the picture is due to a delay.
Second, the result of your equation is incorrect.
What you should have done is to calculate the time it took #Trump right hand to go from its position in Doug Mills’ photo versus its position when the supersonic shockwave of the second bullet can be heard. I counted 6 frames between the two positions (let’s say 5 to leave a margin of error). The video being at 30 FPS/s we can calculate that it took 166.7 ms between the two positions. Considering that the speed of the sound is 343 m/s and that the bullet passed about 1 m away from Trump’s microphone we can determine that it took about 2.9 ms for the sound to reach the microphone. Hence, in order for the inconsistency to be due to a natural delay between the visual and the sound, the sound would have had to travel 57.5 times (166.7 / 2.9) slower than normal.
So again, please debunk this, until it’s debunked, my conclusions are facts and not speculations.
As stated you are assuming a lot of variables in favor of your theory. Enough said.
I assume a lot of variables? Please state one.
I think you confused that the sound heard on the microphone that I referred to is the report as opposed to the supersonic shockwave.
