Except it's not a perfect analogy because each grain is a separate entity, and it's an external force, the wind, that produces the wave motion.

The song America the Beautiful was written by Katharine Lee Bates, originally in the form of a poem entitled "Pikes Peak", which is a 14,000+ foot peak in Colorado Springs. I changed the phrasing of the article from "which '''may''' in fact allude to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado" to "which '''does''' in fact allude to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado." There is no question of whether the song refers to the Colorado Rocky Mountains.--[[Special:Contributions/108.162.215.55|108.162.215.55]] 20:36, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

One thing to note, the Greeks used the word ēlektron to designate amber, which they observed to have an attractive effect on small objects when rubbed with fur. The electron was the subatomic particle observed in the famous double slit experiment to exhibit properties of both particles and waves.

i had a dream about this comic once. see, i was some people this cool tower defense game i made, and then everyone left, and i sat down on the couchthat was there. on the tv, there was this comic, except there were a bunch of people lying down, surrounded by blood (they were stick figures like in xkcd). then, one frame at a time, they started getting up. it was at about this point that i discovered i coudn't move. the camera zoomed in on megan, and just as she turned around to look at me i woke up.[[User:New editor|New editor]] ([[User talk:New editor|talk]]) 21:10, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
