<<Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes or under sea volcanos and
they may appear to you to have an increasingly coghorent effect
as they move across oceans but they don't. ALL wave fronts
dissapate as they spread by the inverse square of the distance
travelled. They only appear to be more powerful than the surrounding
sea because of the energy they had at the start.>>
You just proved my point. A massive rockfall into the ocean causes a
large, but insignificant wave in Peru, that by the time it hits Hawaii
or Japan, it fas ACTUALLY grown. These are the facts. A wave energy can
survive and grow. PERIOD. Do some research on the last tidal wave to
kill a lot of people in Hawaii 25 years ago and come back after you find
out how the wave-energy grew.

<<In the book I got this from is a critique of Penroses "The Emperors
New Mind" by Dan Dennett, arguing that consciousness can't have a
quantum element because the waves (like all waves) wouldn't be able
to survive far enough into the brain (let alone outside it) to hold
the system together.>>
This ACTUALLY PROVES the point that a mass of coherent waves or coherent
energy WOULD survive over long distances. Incoherent waves, in an
incohherent ocean of energy, cannot survive, but a masse of coherent
waves cannot be stopped by the gerneal mass of incoherent waves. The
guy actually proves the point. If all waves are so weak, then a mass of
coherent waves are more powerful than those acting idependently. This is
a fact of nature. That is why you cannot shine a flashlight onto the
moon, but you can shine a laser beam onto the moon (a laser beam IS
coherent waves.)
