>Also then white people double down and say "the speed of sound is 340m/s, it must be close"

>When nuclear blast waves travel at 1500m/s up to 3000m/s . When you point that out they say "no but sound doesn't" etc. "blast waves aren't sound" etc etc. So the linear algorithim isn't accurate. You have to take into consideration that for the first few moments it's going much faster than the speed of sound.

Yes, the shockwave from a nuclear detonation initially travels much faster than the speed of sound.
Speed of sound in air is roughly 343 meters per second (about 1,235 km/h or 767 mph) at sea level.
In the immediate aftermath of a nuclear explosion, the shockwave—also called the blast wave—can reach speeds of several kilometers per second, depending on the yield and altitude of the detonation. This is known as a supersonic shockwave, and it can cause extreme destruction over a wide radius.
As the shockwave expands outward, it slows down due to energy dispersion and interaction with the atmosphere. Eventually, it transitions into a regular sound wave traveling at the speed of sound.
So in short: yes, the initial shockwave is supersonic, and its speed is one of the reasons nuclear blasts are so devastating. Want to dive into how this compares to conventional explosives or how the shockwave affects structures and people?

Does this eventually become the sound wave you hear far away?

Yes, exactly — the shockwave from a nuclear detonation eventually slows down and transitions into a regular sound wave that can be heard far away.
Here’s how it works:
Initial phase: Right after the explosion, the shockwave is a high-pressure, high-temperature front moving at supersonic speeds. It causes massive destruction and is felt as a powerful blast.
Transition: As the shockwave expands outward, it loses energy and slows down. Eventually, it drops below the speed of sound and becomes a regular pressure wave — essentially, a very loud sound wave.
Audible sound: This is the "boom" people hear miles away. Depending on the size of the explosion and atmospheric conditions, this sound can travel dozens or even hundreds of kilometers. In some cases, it arrives minutes after the flash of light due to the slower speed of sound.
So yes — the terrifying roar heard far from the blast site is the final, weakened form of
