Could you build this?
No This involves high-end GPU graphics programming including real-time FFT ocean wave simulation, spectral rendering, sunlight caustics, and Earth-scale planetary LOD rendering.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires WebGPU or WebGL2 compute shaders implementing the Tessendorf FFT water simulation algorithm, cascading cascaded shadow maps, caustic ray-marchers, and atmospheric scattering models. The hard parts are writing and optimizing raw GLSL/WGSL compute kernels for multi-octave 3D FFTs and planetary-scale LOD grid meshes that run smoothly at 60 FPS in browsers. This demands advanced computational physics and real-time graphics engineering expertise.
