Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium?

Just to add because nobody mentioned that yet… But you can always push stuff faster than the speed of sound, it will just stop being a liquid, and probably explode, but there’s no law saying the material can’t go faster.

Sure, but said stuff can push back at you in turn. At some point, you reach an equilibrium between the force applied to the material and the reflected force due to resistance.
