Сила аплодисментов

Clapping produces up to 90 decibels, as loud as a lawnmower. Your hands collide

at speeds reaching 10 meters per second, creating a mini shockwave that

compresses air between your palms. That sharp crack is actually

a controlled sonic boom. Ancient Romans hired professional clappers called

claqueurs to applaud at theaters. The rhythm of clapping is contagious because

our brains naturally synchronize with repetitive sounds. In some cultures,

clapping patterns communicate specific messages. Your simple gesture of appreciation

is one of the most powerful non-verbal signals humans have ever created.
