i spent a very enjoyable math binge day learning about waves and what i learned is that waves are extremely fucked up

wifi relies on radio waves! there are international regulations on which parts of the radio spectrum people are allowed to use!! it is *illegal* to emit too many *photons of certain frequencies* because you might *interfere with the photons people are using to download porn*

With an understanding of waves comes an understanding of cycles, and if you understand cycles... you can understand *e v e r y t h i n g*

the entire internet is waves anyway so that's a pretty big chunk of de facto reality right there

For some absolute cosmic bullshit, look into: Huygen’s principle, “optical lenses as Fourier transforms” and, maybe especially, like: “fourier transform wavefunction”
It’s been a while, but yeah the universe is wild and waves are cool
