The waves object of this study are not “accoustic” but “sismic”. Accoustic waves are the ones you can hear, the rhythmic “fap, fap, fap” which is audible and propagates at the same speed of sound as the moans and other sounds. ---

I would have flagged the “watching porn” part and questioned whether he was an actual observer or a participant - probably both. I can’t believe I actually posted in this thread ---

I would love to see this scenario discussed in a text book: “A transverse wave traveling along Shaniqua’s fat ass is given by the equation ASin[k(x-vt)]. At t=0, a force applied at the buttocks produces a displacement of 14cm…” This is so much more funny because I have a test tomorrow on wave equations and interference. 😃 ---

Thinking about continuum mechanics, dancing around Wiki. This is, overall, a problem in finite strain theory, right? I ask because the topic here, as a drift of OP, and perhaps returning to it, is fascinating to me at the moment.
