The atoms in solids are bonded rigidly en masse with electronic bonds.
And the propagation speed of distubances in electromagnetic fields is c.

Sound is jiggly matter, dumbass.

So? Dumbass.

All slow and jiggly like your neural connections?

Sound moves heavy protons and neutrons.
Light only has to move much less (~1/2000) massive electrons.

No, not So, Sound!, clue-envier. If it went at c, it'd be that other
wave which is not a thing.
