in vico's scienza nuova he attempted to describe the
origin of language via the clap of thunder. the
thunder-clap is physically percievable by all in the
vicinity/community. it often inspires fear because it
is so loud. at one time it was louder than any sound a
human being could make. arguably, a good thunder may
still be louder as any attack than any we can create
electronically using a membrane. maybe the crash of
speeding vehicles approaches this decibel level and
certainly nuclear weapons take the prize for volume.
but, to not stray too far from the question at hand,
the thunder always still means generally one thing on
planet earth!
