Might wanna tone down the language just a tad. Attacking people like that is never a good idea.
My bad, my bad, it was a serious question for someone who does show all the signs of a low IQ.
😄
But for real my bad.
IMO the thunderclap would be slightly less effective in water than air. This is because the water would significantly reduce the speed (and hence the power) of the thunderclap.
I won't go into details yet, but I'll just say that the drag forces would be about a 1000 times greater in the water. Also know that, the drag force in water is directly proportional to the square of velocity. That means half the speed provides 1/4 the force.

No it says in the air it's like a sonic boom.But in water it's catastrophic. Which implies it's affect in water is much higher.
It could mean that even under the depths of the water it is still catastrophic.
I am almost certain that the writer got the math wrong on that because how under the water where the density is much greater does his hands(that should be moving slower) produce a wave that effects the water even greater than air even tho the density should stop it from being as powerful, not make it more powerful.

The f*ck is your problem with aquaman(no disrespect in the f*ck) aquaman is a great character and is really underrated by people like you who hate him for no reason.Have you read any new 52 aquaman, he is amazing.
Pr has been the biggest Aquaman hater on the forum for years.

You saying "it could mean" already illuminates the fact you are reaching. Because if it's proved that Hulk's thunderclaps are stronger underwater it blows a whole in your argument as they will affect Aquaman more than if what you said was right.
Comic physics I am afraid. There is no point trying to equate real life physics to comics. You will never get anywhere (don't mean that rudely)
But it's just a losing battle.
Lol.
The reason why the thunderclap underwater is much more devastating is because water does not compress, whereas air does.
IOW, IF we want to use RL physics (always a danger with comics, but let's try it out) air absorbs a lot of the shockwave, whereas water transmits it.

Only if we apply RL physics though. Moot point, as we're debating a giant gamma guy and a half-Atlantean fighting in an indestructible aquarium. comics have already said that the Hulk's T-clap is more powerful underwater.
