Ride The Wave.

First of all, let me just state that I'm ranting on some crazy thought that just popped into my head and it doesn't quite all piece together yet. I do believe however that in time everything will. I've been having quite a few of these "crazy thoughts" lately and its high time I shared a few with you all. So here we go. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be destroyed, only changed from one state to another. I was just watching a video of someone swimming. He only could have swam from one place to another from first pushing his hands against the water to propel himself forward, and then return his hands to the starting position by following the path of least resistance, otherwise, he would have just been suspended within the water without accomplishing any work and never going anywhere. That's aerodynamics and thermodynamics mixed, but for some reason it sparked something in my brain. Chew on this though. If the universe is essentially "wearing out," then why can't we reinvigorate it on a molecular level by following the path of least resistance. If it were possible to (to lend from the swimming analogy) return our hands to the "starting position," we may very well be able to tap into an energy source that is much more efficient than rocket propulsion seeing as it does quite the opposite... following the path of least resistance. Nicola Tesla supposedly created an Earthquake Machine. It operated by sound waves. It would strike and object at a certain Hz. The sound wave would travel down to the end of the object and then back to the starting point where the striking emanated from. At that exact moment, the Earthquake Machine would strike the object again amplifying the sound wave. It would do this over and over again until the wave was so great that it could collapse a building. The sound waves followed the path of least resistance thus creating an amplitude far greater than any that the little Earthquake Machine (which could fit in the palm of your hand) would ever have been expected to produce. Instead of forcing something to go, we could simply... ride the wave. Just a thought.
