WAVES: an interesting story regarding 100 foot waves and shipwreaks..

All the mathematical models showed that a 100 foot ocean wave should only happen every 10,000 years.

But there have always been reports and shipwreaks that say that 100 foot waves actually happen quite often.

But the math was rock solid and 100 years old.

Ships have been constructed accordingly for 100 years or so. 25 tons per sq meter or something like that. Yet they often saw ships with much more damamge.

For a while they thought maybe when two currents clash, like along the African coast that, that may be the cause and then they could just steer around them without having to build stronger ships. But they found the ships wreaked where currents were not colliding.

Well, too make a long story short, satellite imaging showed many 100 foot waves happening all the time.

The answer lay in a quantum wave manifestation where one wave borrows energy from another. A shrodinger equation I beleive? I think-lol.

So the quantum world keeps telling us the universe is a bit differetnt than we think-lol. And quantum wave action will be the most important concept going forward in understanding the universe.
