Tsunamis (and waves in general) don't actually move the water they're traveling through over any significant distance. It's the wave's energy that's moving, not the water itself.
Exactly. The water level is raised, and then water "falls" along the path of least resistance, in the case of shore - it will certainly flow onto land.
These Particle Accelerators should not be wasted or scrapped! This process could be used to study materials, which could lead to advances in: temperature limits, strength, etc...
Operating equipment like a particle accelerator is surely not cheap. If they decide that it would be better to share time on newer equipment rather than face the rising maintenance costs of older, less capable equipment, scrapping it is likely the best option.
