Sometimes I wonder, if Physicists actually *want* to know how it works

Because waves require a medium in order to propagate.

No, they do NOT.
That the laws that govern the physical entities involved take the form
of a differential equation known as the wave equation.

Yes, waves do require a medium in order to propagate.
A wave cannot propagate through a void.
More with the equations.
*How* does a wave propagate through a void?

*How* does a bullet propagate through a void?

I do not think something and nothing can co-exist, and as such there
is no such thing as a true void in the universe, so discussing *how* a
bullet could propagate through a void is a moot point.
