for real.

radio sigs travel at 360,000 miles per second or something like that.

yeah I know hard to believe.


how about your internet connection? how fast is that?
exactly but the idea of "a radio signal at 360.000 miles per second" is difficult to imagine.

Unlike a signal tranmitted by wire a radio signal is very abstract
and although humans (like you) understand how things work
i think its impossible for the human brain to really grasp the process behind it.

Puzzles me.. but then again: i have trouble hitting the 'post reply' button
