@thespianletters @CuriosityonX I had actually thought about something like that after I posted because I know the clip is authentic footage of an underwater test. It's possible that sound travelling much faster through water/rock could produce an air-sound at the observer's vantage point 'early'.

Sound travels faster the higher the density and rigidity of the medium it's travelling through. Travelling through granite bedrock, like this explosion would have, it can reach speeds of up to 7 km/s. I imagine this camera is a bit closer than that, judging by how close that plume of water looks.

@TheFigen_ Van gogh never said this. He was simply quoting a line from Émile Zola’s 1883 novel Au Bonheur des Dames in a letter he wrote to his brother.

“I would rather die of passion than of boredom.” - Vincent van Gogh

@QuoteJung Answer: None. Jung never said or wrote this.

@QuoteJung From which of Carl Jung's published works or writings was this quote taken?
