    While waves normally come in a succession of oscillations, a
    soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave, a single
    oscillation that maintains its form and energy along its path
    of propagation. Such a solitary wave can, for instance, travel
    along a canal and remain essentially unchanged for a long
    stretch. John Scott Russell, a Scottish engineer living in the
    19th century, was the first to observe and describe such a
    solitary wave in a channel of water: "I was observing the
    motion of a boat which was rapidly drawn along a narrow channel
    by a pair of horses, when the boat suddenly stopped - not so
