Sound Barrier The first man made object to break the sound barrier was the Bullwhip. The Bullwhip was a single tailed whip that was generally made out of leather. The Bullwhip was made for working with livestock mostly for discipline. When something breaks the sound barrier it passes through a large cloud of smoke that follows behind the object for a matter of seconds. The sound that you hear when a bullwhip is cracked is actually a small sonic boom. Nobody knows when the first bullwhip was invented, because it was invented before they thought of recording events in time. But they say that it has been around for more than 5,000 years. Even though so many things have broken the sound barrier nothing has ever traveled faster than the speed of light. In order for someone to do this they would have to travel in warp speed. But that would take lots of fuel which is something that we don't have a lot of.
