I doubt it will have anything to do with antennas though..

Albert Einstein was merely the first to realise what is obvious to
anybody who thinks about it.

What's all the fuss about for the last 100 years?

It's numbingly comforting to doubt but science isn't a religion.
Not to be a contrarian but it might have to do with antennas.
We can't tell the future, I can only influence it a bit by action.

Hi Reg,

No one else wrote it down. Sure you can "think about it," but if you
keep dialing the same number to talk to Mum and you get chinese
take-out, then "thinking about it" is not all that it is cracked up to
be.

Some things that Albert Einstein said sound a lot like Art.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he
learned in school."

"All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and
childlike ..."

"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not
certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and
Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities."

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my
contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the
spinal cord would surely suffice."

How better indeed? As I remember, it was Dr. Best's assertion
that the source always provided the extra energy during construc-
tive interference (no matter how far away the source might be).
I, OTOH, tend to believe "Optics", by Hecht where he asserts
that there must always be an energy balance between constructive
interference and destructive interference (as demonstrated by
the radiation pattern of an antenna).

It's certainly correct in almost any instance to say that the source of
energy provides the energy. Not necessarily so of other points in
space. And only rarely do we find any "extra" energy in physical
systems. ;-)

"Free Energy" is indeed hard to find...
However, consider an antenna made of a superconducting material--it would at
least be impossible to lose any (at least due to resistance and heating!)

Yea, but it's a real pain having to haul the liquid helium dewar up the
tower in the middle of a dx opening.
