    @kurentmalik Another thing not widely known about Tesla is that he invented the transistor, the diode, the field effect transistor and on and on. Study his work in vacuum tubes. These components are developments of Tesla's vacuum tubes by simply replacing the vacuum in the tube with a semi permeable layer of silicon between the cathodes gates and anodes. the architecture and function of ic components is identical to Tesla's vacuum tube patents right down to the rare earth elements used.

    If you were on the outa regions of our solar system with a pretty much standard FM radio.. you would just about still recieve transmisions from Earth, altho what you would generally hear would be a 'wooshing' sound due countless stations on the same frequencies. Further out, reception would fade behind static. However, if you have a radio telescope of infinite size (if there was such a thing) and if you could travel lightyears in space, then you could hear transmissions from many years ago.

    @EclecticSceptic It isn't so much that a radio wave is stopped by things, its that the wave becomes more and more spread out until any one part of it is too small to detect. Its like a ripple on a pond. Even if the pond were a frictionless fluid, one wave is spread out over the circumference of an ever increasing circle but it still only contains the original energy, thus it gets forever smaller until it is no bigger than other random noise.

    You didn't understand my question. Is the ~30 million km wavelength useful in radio astronomy. Seeing as it required using the Earth's magnetic field that would imply that the Earth's field could be used as a radio telescope, but to what degree.

  • @luckystrke
    @luckystrke 14 років тому

    Since you touched upon it, you should probably explain that radio waves used for transmission of radio stations, use the waves as a carrier for audio information. Thats why you may lock on to just one frequency of radio waves, but still receive the whole audible spectrum.

    So they are like really quite sounds that antennas are able to pick up on and make them loud enough for us to hear?

    • @Israel220500
      @Israel220500 5 років тому

      No. They are electromagnetic waves that travel much faster than sound. The antennas pick this signal and transmit to a device that decodes this signal into something else. Maybe it turns it into images like in a TV, or sound like in a radio, or even digital information, like in wireless internet.

    @kurentmalik Because they are talking about electromagnetic waves. Tesla called them Ether waves... same thing different nomenclature so if you don;t mention Tesla, you don't have to talk about ether. The word Ether to contemporary scientists is like the word spirit. its a word from a stupider time (in their estimate) and they think if they say ether they will lose credit. To avoid this they just avoid speaking of Tesla.

    I have a radio ham question which I thought someone may be able to answer here. No worries if not. 🙂
    Basically, if hypothetically you were able to build a gigantic radio receiver (as in a massive radio dish a few miles wide) and take it far up into space, would the noise level also increase with the size of the dish due to "more noise" being received (thus having to "cool down" the receiver), or would the background noise level temperature stay the same, regardless of the size of your antenna/receiver?
    I'm guessing the noise level stays the same, as otherwise large aerials and radio dishes would be rendered pointless. When you extract an FM radio antenna, the signal of the desired radio station gets stronger, but the noise level doesn't increase. Even the smallest of receivers still pick up background static, surely at the same uniform temperature.
    I am thinking about land based FM radio signals being received from from far out in space with a giant dish, and surely if the background noise level is at a constant temperature, then all that matters is that you receive enough "photons" from the desired radio station back on Earth with a large enough receiver to pick up the desired signal? ...

    The problem is, people think that because they aren't good at science, they shouldn't be bothered with developing an interest in it. But you know what? I'm pretty fucking interested in music, but just because I can't play it doesn't mean I'm going to dismiss it as something "boring".

  • @XorLavir
    @XorLavir 14 років тому

    I also want to mention Alexander Stepanovich Popov
    en. wikipedia. org/ wiki/ Alexander_Stepanovich_Popov
    was the first who demonstrated the PRACTICAL application of electromagnetic (radio) waves, although he did not apply for a patent for his invention.
    In 1894 he built his first radio receiver.
    Guglielmo Marconi was a rich businessman, who managed to create business from it, monopolizing invention.
    That's why 100 hundred years of radio was celebrated in 1895 and not in 1896.

  • @AnnaLang17
    @AnnaLang17 14 років тому

    @zarkoff45 We can't use the field AS a telescope but it can induce an alternating current and voltage for some. The wavelength is important, but the size of the telescope and the efficiency of the receiver for amplifying signals is as equally important. Cosmic RW can be very weak, so it's hard to analyze and capture them from ground-based telescopes especially if they have longer wavelenghts. But if we do, we can use and study their composition, velocity etc and learn about their destination.

  • @flexairz
    @flexairz 11 років тому

    Doubling the distance from a transmitter means that the power density of the radiated wave at that new location is reduced to one-quarter of its previous value.
    Basically this means that it will be very difficult to hear our transmissions.

  • @AnnaLang17
    @AnnaLang17 14 років тому

    @zarkoff45 Yes, we can. Didn't you watch the video? Radio waves can be longer than Earth's diameter, which is around 8000 miles.
    As far as I know, the longest radio wave detected is 30.5 million km or 18.9 million miles. But like julshz said there's no upper limit.

    I don't know the answer to this. But is anyone trying to detect ir., uv., or gamma, x-ray variations for signals that aren't natural? It would make more sense to me to transmit signals in light. [ Like the little toy balls that hang on strings ] Through the light, pulses should be able to be transmitted, I'm quessing, possible gamma range? But have we made such recievers, that can detect something that fast? I just think that the length vs expansion would be more efficient?
