Original Note:
The “waves” seen when zooming in on lights are caused by lens aberration, digital zoom artifacts, and possibly heat waves or breath near the camera. It’s a mix of camera limitations and light distortion, not a “response”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coincidence https://byjus.com/physics/aberration-of-lens/
