I go where the wave takes it".
Defining where the wave of protests started is hard.
In some places where the wave came deep inland, the ground has risen in salinity and fields have become infertile.
Such particles follow the undulations of a quantum-mechanical (de Broglie) wave, accumulating where the wave grows and thinning out where it diminishes.
Over three hours in an Istanbul safehouse, Wasid, 20, described events in the southern town where the wave of dissent that has swept Syria first broke.
"You've got to know where the wave is going and either be ahead of it or at least be willing to ride it".
Common forms of reflected wave propagation are ground reflection, where the wave is reflected off land or water, and ionospheric reflection, where the wave is reflected off an upper layer of the Earth's ionosphere (as in shortwave radio; see below The radio-frequency spectrum: HF).
Hunter S. Thompson, the era's burnt-out balladeer, famously described the early seventies in terms of an ebbing tide: "that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back".
The waves are particularly prominent on the arms of the V, but they can also be discerned between these arms where the wave crests curve in the manner indicated in Figure 12.
In order for the wave to peel, you need the seabed to have a particular structure – a shallower area, where the wave focuses its energy and breaks, with deeper areas to the sides, leaving this section of the wave unbroken.
Perhaps, soon we can paraphrase the Good Doctor: and with the right kind of eyes almost see the high-water mark of the surveillance state… that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
