Index Entry

Precession:

"When the stone drops in the water it impinges on the atoms and everything is in motion, and immediately there is a resultant at 90°. The resultant is the wave and the 90 degreeness begets another 90 degreeness and this 90 degreeness begets another 90 degreeness and so on until you have a series of 90 degreenesses. . .

"Precesssion is regenerative and that is why you have the wave. It is very simple to see why there is a wave. Pure precession."
