Sound is a longitudinal wave (though in solids, it can be transverse). It's also a pressure wave. Pressure is a scalar quantity, because it has no direction associated with it. I just think you're unwilling to accept mainstream science to the point where you'll disbelieve anything.Einstein...
Sound is a scalar wave.
Nope. Sound is a longitudinal wave. At least that is what it was taught to me in school. This is an example of how we all become stupid. The schools aren't teaching the same information across the board. Then no one agrees.
But go back to the beginning. Please give me a scientific definition of what a scalar wave is. And quote your source.
