How science explains monster waves

The video explores the phenomenon of rogue waves, initially dismissed by scientists due to their rarity according to superposition theory. However, evidence from 1995 and subsequent studies revealed their frequent occurrence, challenging previous assumptions. The complexity of ocean waves, influenced by various factors, is explained through nonlinear effects, which make rogue waves more common than previously thought. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding nonlinear processes in wave behavior and the limitations of scientific models.
