Joe Rogan Experience #2558 - Tyler Engle · Aired Sep 24, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Sound is the only medium humans can manipulate other than their immediate physical surroundings.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Engle says sound is the only medium humans can manipulate apart from their immediate physical surroundings. The Conversation explainer I opened says people routinely use technology such as radios and wifi to work with radio waves, which are electromagnetic, not acoustic. Sound is therefore not the only such medium. Falsifier: reliable evidence that humans cannot use or shape radio or other electromagnetic waves with technology.
