Is audible understanding better than the visual understanding?!

I think visually we are more intellectual rather than understanding it by some sound patterns.Although I am not saying that probing the universe in that way(collecting data in the form of sound) is totally wrong because it is an effective procedure to retrieve information from the earliest times of the universe.
But I think the main problem only arises when we try to interpret the data we have retrieved from the a radio or micro wave source as sound!! It becomes difficult for us to understand the conclusions,patterns etc., and decode them.Instead if we convert that data of sound in the visual pattern as we do in CYMATICS ,it becomes easier for a person to understand the pattern.By doing as such there are many advantages, as we can find the similarities between several patterns ,comparing, manipulating it for several purposes etc.
Thus i think it would be better for us if we convert the retrieved sound data into a visualistic pattern.

    Jul 1 2011: Yes.Of course the audible understanding is better the visual understanding because when you hear new information,the creativity develops in you but the process of audible hearing is slowly getting vanished in the field of education.For example,when a teacher speaks about the 3D drawing and its respective information then our brain automatically tries to establish the information according to the information that what he is saying.But in the present modern educational system, due to the process of visual teaching the art of creativity among the students is gradually decreased.In this case if a student is given or subjected to practical problem then he will not be able to solve it due to the lack of creative thinking.
    Now the people are demanding for creative teaching in the education but the educationalists are compromising the people but introducing the commercial value products such as smart classrooms.The people are being mesmerized by these types of commercial magics.
    "I think this will not improve the standard of creativity in the children but will improve the economical standard of the schools and their management".

      First of all, i need you to be more specific on your opinion that audible understanding is much better than the visual understanding.(In what way do you mean it?)

      Secondly, i want you to know that every child in our country is not capable to have a skill of developing visual reference in his mind when a teacher is explaining it to him.Most of them get confused when we implement a 3D drawing into a sheet of 2D paper.This results in the deterioration of his interest towards the subject.Moreover it is difficult to imagine some strange 3D drawings and few of the physics' topics( vectors like stuff ) to most of the people in 3D, so these smart classes train them how to visualize the concept that they are teaching, for better understanding by showing them few animations that how this concept really works!!
      As i have already told you that visual understanding is better than audible, it becomes easier for a student to memorize a picture which he had seen during a class and build up his sequence in detail rather than trying to memorize a speech on the topic which is pretty difficult to hang on with!!

      Finally, great inventors evolved from great observations not great speeches!!

        Jul 2 2011: As you said "great inventors evolved from great observations not great speeches" , during those days they do not have any technological stuff such as smart class room.Either to say wright brothers invented airplane by just hearing from his neighbor that "No human being can fly except gods".According to your point observations leads to great inventions.Think of now generation students,they have seen many observations and not even a single student has invented a new thing but they are capable of discovering.My suggestion is bring creative teaching instead of visual teaching and audible teaching.
