Streams, both seen and unseen, traverse landscapes and time. They contain within them not just water but stories, history, and the faintest echoes of distant voices. As they course through valleys and hills, their reverberations tell tales of their journey—a journey echoing across dimensions. But what if these streams were akin to those intangible waves of sound, propagating through ether?
The principle of reverberation, while commonly associated with sound, applies to these streams as well. It refers not only to the echos heard in canyons after a shout but to the ripples in the fabric of space created by motion—by the cascading waters or the sonorous vibrations. The science behind these echoes, baffling as it may seem, is a dance of energy, frequency, and appetite for the voyage.
When an object—a boat, perhaps—is cast into a stream, it generates waves. These waves interact with one another, occasionally amplifying or dampening as they travel downstream. Similarly, sound waves extend their journey, seldom ceasing, until they merge with the silence of the void or become absorbed by the environment.
