After Isaac Newton algebraically found the speed of sound, he discovered that his answer varied from the answer found in the direct experiment done by William Derham. Newton was 15% off from the observed speed of sound. In an attempt to make fix his error, he took into account that air was composed of more than just oxygen and temperature fluctuated, but he was still off and his reasoning was confusing and illogical.

It is perhaps this very curiosity that made me take up engineering as my career choice. Even though my parents wanted me to take up medicine, I was never
