  • "freak waves" are ...

    "freak waves" are caused by ocean currents. they often occur in parts of the ocean where the currents are strong such as Agulhas Current.
    However, not all rogue waves occure in strong ocean currents, scientist think they can also be cause my "wave pile ups" thats pretty self-explantory.

  • I have indeed ...

    I have indeed cracked the "rogue wave" mystery, and have worked on a model to clearly show my theory in effect and none of the previous sources mentioned can be ruled out

    I have managed to test my model and yes it indeed works and could easily explain this phenomena, so fuck you and your narrow mind

    maybe you're the dumbass for not noticing clearly contradictory statements

  • There is a ...

    There is a difference between knowing where it comes from, and knowing where it doesn't come from. Earthquakes are easily monitored and tracked, it's easy to rule that out. Use your head a little before thinking you found a big argument against a clear thing.

    Also, dumbass, these waves AREN'T just standard "ocean waves" hence the term "rogue" wave. It's unlike any other wave. WTF?

  • "it's not a tsunami ...

    "it's not a tsunami or tidal wave, it's not caused by earth quakes or giant land slides"
    "no one knows where it comes from or why it happens"

    ?????

    how can you rule out anything if you don't know where they originate?

    "according to all scientific knowledge of the sea....freak waves....are practically impossible"

    "scientists have understood ocean waves for centuries" (apparently not, based on your previous statement)

    then they finish with, basically they're just telling tall tales? WTF!?
