       They found a new equation to explain -- and possibly predict -- rogue wavesThey also landed on a new model of how and why these *monsters of the briny deep* emergeScientists used to think it was when one wave caught up with another and their peaks combinedbut nuh uhApparently it's linear superposition -- when two waves reinforce, a different mechanismItem #3 in my latest Linkfest: https://buttondown.email/clivethompson/archive/linkfest-15-altruistic-pigs-the-truetown/

       @clive I feel like anyone who has spent a fair amount of time bodysurfing the Jersey Shore could have told them this. 🤔

       @clive I was so annoyed for years over all of the supposed videos of rogue waves on line until finally that one popped up with the dude on the bridge of a big tanker and his buddy tells him to hold on as the boat starts to tilt and tilt and the wings are pointing at the water and then it goes back the other way.

       @clive Found a good GIF that explains how, in chaotic beach conditions, sometimes a wave comes out of nowhere and knocks you on your ass.

       @clive Thanks. That should be an interesting read. Just had a crew ship in Europe that ran into one of those I heard. Had to be towed into Germany 🤔😬

       @clive I can also see this also having applications in early warning for tsunamis in the Pacific system built after the Thailand incident.of 2004. 😬🤔😕
