Dealing With the Unknown
Knowledge has been based on experience, history, and scientific theory. Not all knowledge is considered fact. Much of what we know is logical conjecture. Our knowledge of radio waves and electricity has been built on experimental findings. In time we accept these mysteries as reality.
Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia that describes history :
Radio waves were first predicted by mathematical work done in 1867 by Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell.[2] Maxwell noticed wavelike properties of light and similarities in electrical and magnetic observations. His mathematical theory, now called Maxwell's equations, described light waves and radio waves as waves of electromagnetism that travel in space, radiated by a charged particle as it undergoes acceleration. In 1887, Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the reality of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves by experimentally generating radio waves in his laboratory,[3] showing that they exhibited the same wave properties as light: standing waves, refraction, diffraction, and polarization. Radio waves, originally called "Hertzian waves",[4] were first used for communication in the mid 1890s by Guglielmo Marconi, who developed the first practical radio transmitters and receivers. The modern term "radio wave" replaced the original name "Hertzian wave" around 1912.
The point is, much of what we accept as fact today was mysterious witchcraft 200 years ago. Many predict many more discoveries and theories to be exposed soon. Perhaps things we think we know will be disclosed as fiction and things we consider fiction will become modern fact.
In a time do drastic changes to our mental foundation it will be difficult to keep hold on core lifelong truths. Will you observe miracles or illusions? Is what we observe real, or is there a wizard pressing buttons behind the curtain?
Everything you see and hear is not real fact. There is no evidence that dinosaurs roared.
The point is you might want to prepare yourself for a few life changing concepts to rock your world. Keep an open mind.
Here is today’s beauty.
@doctorjohn it is interesting how much we can really learn about our World if we just get in tune with our senses.............
Magnificent article. Thank you for sharing it. I do not understand much in the radio waves, but here's the grimson in the photo - gorgeous. Good luck to you and good.
thank you, your post has added my insight today
I agree with what you are saying. I think maybe they will believe as I do that ever increasing debt will not lead to prosperity for all. Have a nice day.
I've found that keeping an open mind is the best life changing decision I have ever made as far as broadening my understanding of the world around me. I can't wait to see what we learn/discover in the next 10 - 20 years and hope it doesn't rock my world too much.
I quite agree with you on this. Many years ago things like Argumented reality, artificial intelligence, long distance communication, etc. were all fiction and what was only seen in the mind but today, it's a reality.
Who knows, Maybe in the future what we think we know today will turn out to pure fiction and those things we think are fictions and will not be possible will become a reality - and oh!! It's happening already.
Thanks @doctorjohn for this post. Your post are always quite educational.
Radio is indeed a news wave. But unfortunately now not in use again especially for young people because young adults are now busy with the internet @doctorjohn @doctorjohn
