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

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

I love Huyen's principle! I still use it to roughly intuit wave stuff sometimes!

As for Fourier, it's been years and I now only partially stand by my old take
