Is that real physics or imaginary physics? I could send it to The Institute and get them to approve it. They don’t care anymore.
Whenever I make up science I tell them that Imaginary Science is better than their so-called ‘proper science’, which is usually just a long list of stupid numbers and random symbols. But Imaginary Science offers infinite options, (and you can also imagine ‘proper science’ from books if you really want to). So Imaginary Science is better than their science. And they usually agree and walk quickly away. Or run.
I like 1b best, because the image illustrating it freezes the undulation in an apparent state of “permanent translation of the particles in the direction of the propagation.” i.e., The printing’s way out of register, and red dots are translating all over the place! But, by definition, as the implied undulation continues, the direction of propagation will soon reverse, and all the colors will go back where they belong.
