In today’s information overloaded world, it’s easy to leave everything to “the experts”, but it’s also worth noting that there are areas with fewer specialists than others (particularly where people with a Masters in Conspiracy Theory1 or regularly silenced scientists tend to reappear). It presents a great opportunity to do your own research for gaining a more balanced view on the matter.
Better understanding the nature of our Universe’s electromagnetic spectrum and taking time to explore what’s going on in the world beyond our visible and audible senses, thereby making an effort to open our minds and capture some spectrum of life beyond our current abilities and limitations, is one such example which may well save a life or two in the coming decade.
The Modern Wireless World
For over a century now, many new forms of wireless connectivity have brought about countless blessings and opportunities to the human race. With the rise of radio, TV, satellites, internet, cell phones, etc., and smart devices now coming in all shapes and sizes, we’ve been able to enhance our ability to connect, interact, innovate and grow financially, economically and intellectually.
Indeed, the opening up of new wireless radiation spectrums with each new generation of cell phone network coverage (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 5G from space, 6G2 etc.) only seems to have increased such capabilities.
Research in this field brought us the microwave, various forms of wireless energy transmission3, the ability to let it rain in the desert4, incredible possibilities in health and medicine to treat previously incurable diseases, and many more.
At the same time, and perhaps coincidentally, it also brought us a new set of both physiological and psychological problems. From previously extremely rare5 (or even unknown) forms of cancer, a huge rise in infertility6, to nefarious social media addictions preferencing virtual befriending illusions and pleasures in exchange for real world human interaction, the dis-connect between “our way of life” and “us living and being”, comes at a steep price that even affects remote National Park areas.
Now I’m not arguing to go back to the stone ages or defer all of our modern day advancements, but our human greed (and curiosity) is inevitably leading us towards grabbing ever more parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and forcing it into doing our bidding, without understanding it in the first place.
The Electromagnetic Radiation Spectrum
Take a look at the below (as of 2009 complete) electromagnetic radiation spectrum (“EMR”) of our world (courtesy of Unihedron):
Letting the eyes wander over this enormous collection and phenomenal visualization of data, most will immediately recognize a list of examples (e.g. the light bulb or the piano), representing the nature or qualities of the spectrum in such area, but few will notice their absence in other areas from a human sensory perception level.
For instance:
we can feel the warmth (infrared),
see and identify colors (visible),
hear sound (audible) and feel vibrations.
