Cecil:

This has become an impossible argument. And, Richards' comment about
paying some attention to staying on topic caught my attention.

My point is, with our present state of knowledge and understanding of
such things as time and the "mysterious 377 ohms" (not EVEN to mention
the permittivity of space) our antenna designs and advancements have
stagnated.

Yeah, so what?

The lever hasn't improved in thousands of years other than in the use
of new materials.

The same can be said for cannon and revolver design since about 1900.

When was the last time you heard of advancements in the design of milling
machines, lathes, fork lifts, the CRT, and any number of things?

Technologies mature, get over it.

Oh, and 377 Ohms and the permittivity of free space are not "mysterious"
to the educated.
