Enormous ‘rogue waves’ can appear out of nowhere

Re: Enormous ‘rogue waves’ can appear out of nowhere
#12I watched a documentary about them ages ago where the demonstrated how rogue waves can form by natural processes as different directional (terminology most likely wrong) waves cross each other. Wish I could remember enough about it to post a link.

#13Could this be used for electromagnetic (and other) waves as well?
I suppose the principles are similar for a medium in which oscillations move into some direction(s) etc.

#15A good video about the overall topic: https://youtu.be/2ylOpbW1H-I
The topic reminded me of some fun wave tank videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4384y5ZRRIs

#16I wager the same process of discovery is about to happen for UFOs.
As sensors become more capable we will see more and more hard data. This will move the needle on scientific opinion and that in turn will spur research.
The two phenomena may even be related - rogue waves in the fields of QFT...

#17The worst part of trying to read articles being published by very legitimate orgs like National Geographic are the mobile website decisions they allow their product teams to make.
In this case, just as I'm getting into the first few paragraphs of the paper some popup or override kicks in. Usually asking for a signup.
I think it's time to stop this destructive practice of attention grabbing instead of READING THE ARTICLE.

I've mostly stopped reading websites on mobile because of this. On desktop I have various plugins and scripts in place to get rid of most of the annoyances.
It's not only subscription popups these days, there are also the goddamn GDPR popups (which don't even apply to me), Intercom popups, and ads of sorts that pop up separately from the newsletter signup.
Very often within a few seconds these mobile websites have 80% of the content covered by sometimes 2 or 3 separate annoyances, at which point I generally think it's not worth dealing with them anymore and just quit.

#19ΜΙΤ also did a similar research years ago for Monster waves which is exactly the same as rogue waves (i guess there is no spesific name about it) they are really important for maritime industry, they're in theory for now, but some will claim that can actually have a sensor like that, well they dont, but its funny to waste time with sales people.

The electromagnetic equations are linear, whereas the fluid dynamic ones are non-linear. This difference is crucial for this phenomenon.
