Why do we hear barking of dogs far away from us in winters?

Hey guys,
It's winter time in the Indian sub continent now and you all must be enjoying this winter.You all must have noticed that during winters the barking of dogs can be herd who are far away from us as compared to other seasons.Well this is because of the fact that sound is a mechanical wave and requires medium to travel and since air is colder in winters,it is suitable for sound to travel at higher speed.This is because colder air has higher density than warm air and the more the density of air more will be the speed of sound passing through it.
Thanks...

But what if you wrap the paper in such a way that point A and B intersect. Then it becomes a shortcut right. This is exactly the concept behind worm holes. Due to the fabric nature of space-time this can be assumed that we can enter from past to future and vice versa through these holes known as worm holes created due to rupture in space time fabric due to movement of celestial bodies including planets. Time is a man made straight dimension but in our universe time is not moving forward rather everything is happening at the moment. It is like a 3hrs Bollywood movie being watched in a DVD where the time period for movie or event is fixed and we can go backwards and forward. Similarly events occuring in universe are fixed and we can rewind or move ahead using worm holes.  This concept is hypothetical based on journals ...
