White Dielectric Material

Finding the radiation that signalled the Big Bang. Now that would be a wonderful. I built a very simple radio at the weekend (using a cheap electric experiment kit) and it worked even though I could understand all the components and how they fitted together. Nothing more than a transistor and a coil in essence. It struck me then how much radio wave energy must be passing through the air all around. The station I could hear was a Spanish one, though not surprisingly, Radio Moscow got in on the act as well. If there is life out there (and I am not exactly convinced 100% that there is) and it is broadcasting, then the very signals are passing just in front of your nose right now, even it is just the odd photon here and there. Think of that; something has just been stopped by this very desk which originated in a star billions of light years away. The Universe is wonderful enough without trying to "mystify" it. Just the thoughts in your head are more complex than any designed mythology of prediction. The memories you store in your mind today will contain more information than any book you might want to read.

PS. Don't actually think about all that Universe and space all around you. I just did and the thought was quite crushing for an instant. It is like my thoughts on the Fish at the bottom of the Ocean on the other side of the planet, just a lot bigger. Don't think about it. You aren't thinking about it are you? Good!

Keep this frequency clear.
