Wave Pattern of Stone Dropped in Liquid:
"And I can do it in milk; and it isn’t kerosene, milk, or water. In fact, I could dump some milk fast on top of the water and drop the thing and it goes from the milk into the water. We can then say: it isn’t water; it isn’t milk; and it isn’t necessarily liquid-- and it isn’t just something you are looking at, because if it is night you don’t see it. You may hear a plop on the dock when the wave hits and you get a kind of aural information, but you don’t think of that in quite the same way.
“It is a very still day, and I have begun to discover looking at the water, and I have dropped this stone, and I see the mast of the boat floating out there-- maybe the mast was doing this and the dock was doing that. In other words, there was a temporary set of distortions. What is happening is that light emanating from the Sun, coming through the atmosphere and getting refracted in different wavelengths so there is some blue sky and the radiation is hitting the mast, and so forth, being reflected in different frequencies. I see the yellow frequencies as masked in frond of the blue, which is not distorting. I am getting a set of interferences from different kinds of frequencies. I am getting some frequency information,”
