You are observing the result of the destructive or constructive
interference. The standing wave, is still an abstraction used to define it.

We can't even get folks to agree whether current flows from positive to
negative, or negative to positive. and guess what, it doesn't matter.

The whole thing is just a figment that allows us to explain phenomena in a
rational manner. That is until the Clintonistas among us want to argue the
meaning of what is IS.

90% of the bandwidth in this forum is used by this kind of nonsense. While
it serves the ego of the proponents of their pet theory, it does nothing to
impart knowledge to the group.

I am sure, if I met Cecil in person, I would really enjoy being around him.
His hobby on the internet is debate, he creates the premise, and offers up
information that is designed to encourage a person to take a direction
already determined by Cecil. He then sets back and plays semantics games
untill you lose the debate by frustration.

With a tip of the hat to "WHOPPER" -"The only way to win, is not to play the
game..."

Standing waves are in fact the observable result of the superposition of
traveling waves. Interferometers are devices which function because of
the fact that standing wave interference patterns are observable. Radio
interferometers allow us to do radio astronomy with improved spacial
resolution. We most certainly can see standing waves.

What! No red wine, no mature cheese!

Wine and cheese is for the faggoty French and those that aspire to be French
like the English woman on "Keeping up appearances".

Real men drink beer, eat pizza, 4 alarm chili, scratch their nuts and shoot
at creatures roaming the woods.

Which just goes to show how soft real men have become. In the old days,
the requirements also included eating peas with a Bowie knife and being
able to hit a spittoon every time at twenty yards, not to mention the usual
bear rassling and dynamite-fisted bare knuckles fights.
