sourcewaves

Sourcewaves are a theoretical concept in physics that describes the hypothetical origin or generation point of waves. While the term is not standard in established physics, it can be understood as the location or event that initiates the propagation of any type of wave, whether it be electromagnetic waves, sound waves, or gravitational waves. The characteristics of the sourcewave, such as its amplitude, frequency, and direction, directly influence the properties of the waves that are subsequently observed.

For instance, a light source like a star emits electromagnetic waves, and the "sourcewave" would be the complex quantum interactions within the star that give rise to this light. Similarly, the vibrations of a speaker diaphragm create a "sourcewave" of air pressure that propagates as sound. In gravitational wave astronomy, a cataclysmic event like the merger of two black holes is considered the "sourcewave" event, launching ripples in spacetime.

Understanding the nature of sourcewaves is crucial for accurately interpreting wave phenomena and for inferring information about the events or objects that created them. Research into the fundamental nature of reality often involves probing these sourcewaves to understand the very beginnings of physical interactions and the universe itself. The concept emphasizes the causal relationship between an origin and its propagated effects.
