Thank you Andrea if we extrapolate the ripples backward we should always find the splash, cheers David

Absolutely Victor, width in mind, but I do also ponder the 3 dimensional ripple, just like Tom below, cheers David

Reminds me of our expanding universe, wonder what will happen when it reaches the end. Tom

Ripples right back to the original splash Tom, where else can it go, cheers David

If you throw a stone in a pond and count the ripple rings, does it tell you how old the pond is? No? Smart contemplation, David. I shall view ripples with more respect in future. Terry

That’s actually a very good abstract question Terry, hmmm one to ponder tonight in bed, I always give ripples the respect they deserve, cheers David
