The sound of one hand clapping.

"hand whopping"

There isn't any such thing as one hand clapping and never has been. Possibility of one hand trying to clap in the air is low, barely detectable whoosh sound. If you are not clapping against anything, you are not clapping for anything either, because you are not clapping you just waving.

In reality one hand cannot clap. Also considering that it takes two things to produce a third product (sound). The sound of one hand clapping is the sound of the other hand, the absent or invisible hand that claps because one hand cannot clap, there can only be two hands clapping. However, one hand clapping can be about peace in oneself or being able to be mindful. Being still as if nothing else matters or interferes. We are all unique and alone in this life and 'one hand clapping ' can be peace within ourselves.

Therefore, the 'sound of one hand clapping' would be the energy of one hand moving through space. Once they unite, that energy is transformed in the form of sound.
