'This Is The Place'

"Imagine you throw a rock in the sea off the coast of the United Kingdom. After the initial big splash, the ripples dissipate and apparently disappear. But of course, they have not really disappeared. The ripples have decreased in size as they have mixed and interfered with other waves, but they have not disappeared. Two weeks later, on the rocky shore of Tierra del Fuego off the Argentinean coast, one of the small waves washing to shore is maybe an imperceptible fraction of one micron higher because of that rock you threw."
