Key takeaways: Shock waves have been used in medicine for a long time. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy may improve lens elasticity, lens clarity and lens volume.

Franck is working with a hypothesis that shock waves from explosions cause a phenomenon in the human brain called cavitation—the same process that makes bubbles in the water near a boat propeller.

The formation of shock waves creates a trailing wake pattern that extends beyond the intended focal point, reducing the spatial precision and clarity of the tactile sensations.

“The eruption was so powerful that the waves actually propagated all the way around the globe and then back again,” meteorologist Gino Izzi said.

The area's worst boating accident in memory began when a 15-foot wave struck the 32-foot Taki-Tooo broadside as it tried to outrun swells after sailing out of the mouth of Tillamook Bay.
