The same effect works for thermal radiation. Two hundred years ago scientists experimented with this effect and argued over their findings. Some thought that cooling Rays were being sent through the tube from cold objects and warming rays from hot ones.
So in your model world sound behaves the same as light because sound is the same as light? In your model world is sound made up of theoretical particles...what are they called?...and whatever they are called, are there virtual ones as well? I haven't seen this theory...that sound and light are one in the same and behave in the same manner...can you provide a link to it?
Good grief! How much remedial science history do you need?
Parabolic telescopes have been around since Newton, horn shaped hearing aids go too far back to know when they came into usage.
The 'aether' was almost universally accepted until Einstein developed relativity, although the Michelson-Morley speed of light experiments should have killed it off sooner.
Now you are mocking a simple physics concept. Yes, light can be moved through a tube via internal reflection. Yes, light can be focused by lenses and mirrors. Yes infrared radiation is light even though you can't see it.
Can you imagine the joy and amazement of the first guy to discover that area just past red in the spectrum produced by a prism was warming up, so there must be something there even though it is invisible?
SSDD is really being a royal asshole here. He purposefully took your example out of context and purposefully pretended to misunderstand it so he could impress his minions. That is the action of a veritable troll.
I found that if you use an analogy, metaphor or example you are wasting your time with SSDD because he will ignore everything but the analogy and reply something trollish about the analogy and not the subject at hand.
