Google entry: 'Seismic shock waves earthquake acceleration'.
Yes. The surface shock waves of an earthquake (or bomb-blast) also - not only do they merely expand, they expand ever-faster. That is, they
accelerate omnidirectionally from the epicenter (point of impact).
Concentrically expanding water and earth waves are not generally perceived to be
accelerating. This seems to contradict the intuition of many who would argue with it.
It is not uncommon to encounter those who would argue against these remarkable facts, holding to the incorrect presumption that the expansion is not ever-increasing.
Such arguments are not unrelated to reluctance to recognize that the conducting medium itself - in this case, water and earth, is likewise expanding, and that the expansion is accelerating, omnidirectionally from given epicenters.
Because all of matter is omnidirectionally accelerating - the likewise expanding-accelerating observer does not recognize that the ongoing phenomena applies not only to his environment, but to his own physical constitution - and the entire (4-D) physical universe, as well.
How surprising is it, after all, to learn that electromagnetic charges are expanding (J.W.N. Sullivan, speaking of G.P. Thompson's discovery, in The Limitations of Science) - and that that the expansion is accelerating, and that, therefore, everything constituted of these ever faster expanding entitities are inevitably and collectively behaving likewise?
