Chapter 117 - 116: Obtaining a Driver’s License, Driving Legally
This whole day, Pigeon Martial Edge had been flipping through videos of Li Ang’s matches.
He knew only that his master had told him if someday, your palm could produce a sonic boom when you strike, your realm would be comparable to the Grandmaster who created this martial arts technique.
But when his disciple asked him why a human palm could produce a sonic boom, he couldn’t explain it.
It wasn’t until his disciple stumbled upon a video by a science blogger analyzing Li Ang’s match that they finally understood the principle behind it.
"Did you notice? At the moment he strikes, the tip of his palm whips like the end of a lash, turning his arm into a carrier of an energy wave. The energy of a wave is constant, so at the start, as the arm is thicker, it has more mass, but the mass of the palm is much smaller compared to the arm. To make the energy equal for both, if the mass cannot change, the only variable left is speed. And thus, the speed of his palm will reach an astonishingly high value, generating a sonic boom," explained the blogger.
In simpler terms, a part of the arm’s mass multiplied by its speed equals the mass of the palm times the speed of the palm.
Therefore, as the arm’s mass is several times that of the palm, the speed of the palm will be several times that of the arm’s.
With such exponential accumulation, naturally, the speed of the palm becomes irrationally fast.
This video also gained Li Ang a large wave of fans; it’s just a pity he didn’t have a domestic account yet to enjoy this surge of popularity.
