Everything in this universe is a wave or at least waves are all around us. I was never as much fascinated by this phenomenal creation of Allah as after studying "Electromagnetics" in one of my Electrical Engineering courses. I realized that there are millions of waves--whether they are shortest wavelengths or longest--wherever I'm looking!
Even if we cannot see them, we can sometimes imagine being in a space that has unlimited waves crossing each other. And one day I experienced another interesting fact, that human beings propagate as waves in the space! We have a maxima, a minima, and a mean point (zero crossing) while we walk. We keep ourselves balanced by moving our arms and legs in our set amplitudes. Now I have started using technical words as I cannot think of regular alternative words for them.
Everything in this universe follows a set pattern, that pattern is either a sine wave or a cosine wave. Each has its unique frequency and amplitude. I guess we are also recognized by our unique frequency. The best way to observe waves is to go and sit infront of a water body. Water waves are usually "standing waves". Standing wave is a wave whose zero-point always remains as it is; but its maxima, minima and all other points keep on changing.
All communication takes place in the form of waves. Not only between non-living but also between the living beings. We sometimes are amazed when somebody we are thinking about calls us all of a sudden. It cannot always be a coincidence; we are transmitting and receiving some sort of recoverable data even without using any of our five senses. Our brain is sending and receiving wave-like patterns which can be understood by us but cannot be comprehended!
And last but not the least, these waves are nothing but forces! Something projecting a force on something else. There is so much enigma surrounding us. There is light which has a wave-like nature and a particle-like nature! Well, I would not go into that deep interesting stuff in this post! This one is just an Encomium of Waves, nothing but Waves!
