Look at this neat picture! It is real and untouched from the NASA website of a jet traveling faster than the speed of sound. The plane is half engulfed in a strange cloud made from the sonic boom! I swear to you on my bible that there are no virus's in this link.

Since travelling faster than sound can cause an actual physical cloud and sonic boom, can it possibly alter time and space and maybe bring you into another dimension kind of like that Steven King book, The Langolians or whatever the name of it was?

My son has that poster on his wall. It is just condensation of water from the air in the shock wave. It has nothing whatever to do with other dimensions or relativity or anything like that. A plane traveling faster than sound cannot alter time and space or bring you into another dimension.

This has nothing to do with extra dimensions and whatnot. The air in front of the plane contains water. The airplane compresses the air in front of it to above the saturation point of water and the water is then precipitated out resulting in the formation of a cloud.

Fast planes, especially fighter jets cause presure disturbances that instantly cause water vapour to condence in the air and make clouds.
They don't alter time/space/dimension.

No. The soundbarrier is really only a speed that sound travels at, not a barrier. I had viewed the picture previously, and it is interesting. But 1100 feet per second ,speed of sound, is just the speed sound travels at. Speed of sound changes with material that the sound is going through and temprature.

only happen if they got a 'flux capacitor' hooked up and go faster than 88mph
great scott!!
