ME TOO!

I feel like the signal processing community is really passionate about their work. It comes out in their books. I know I can talk for hours and hours and hours about signal processing. And my DSP professor was like that too. That was such a fun class.

The germans are really something else, what innovation hasn't sprung from their imagination?

If only he knew his discovery would lead to the worst car rental company he problem wouldn't have published

Hilariously, light is an electromagnetic wave.

So, yes, we can see electromagnetic waves.... Just, only a very small segment of them.

How wrong he was. Now we use EM daily for everything.... Communicating via Wi-Fi, listening to music in the car (FM broadcast), or via Bluetooth and using LTE... Even heating our food. Not to mention medical applications like X-rays...

There's a shitload of stuff we use EM for without even thinking. It's all around us, all the time, like the matrix. I love EM science.

This goes to show you that, just because someone discovered a thing, doesn't mean that they have any idea what to do with that discovery, or that the discoveries end there....

Before, reality was just what humans could touch, smell, see, and hear, but after the publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, we now know that what we can touch, smell, see, and hear, is less than one-millionth.

And Mantis Shrimp still continue to baffle me in the amount of EM range they can sense/see.

I think new research says otherwise.

I still like the fact that the guy that invented super glue was very annoyed by how sticky it was.

TIL: I'm just like Hertz

Nothing, I guess
