Resonance in the Walls of Jericho
Question
My lecturer in electromagnetic theory, who is not observant, raised the idea that the walls of Jericho fell due to a physical resonance effect, when the Israelites marched together around the walls and at the end also shouted. Can this idea be accepted?
Answer
Anything can be accepted.

Who said at all that they fell?
Joshua son of Nun
As I recall, the Rabbi also raised some hypothesis about the fall of the walls of Jericho in his post about the traffic jams of the processions.
