Radio Waves

November 12, 2025  •  EPISODE 286

How do invisible waves travel across the world and beyond? In this episode of Science LIVE, Dr. Roger Billings dives into the fascinating science of radio waves—how they’re created, how they move through space, and how they make long-distance communication possible. From the basics of frequency and transmission to early breakthroughs like Morse code and modern applications such as HAM radio and space communication, join us as we explore the hidden currents that keep us connected.

    Coding is indeed important, I haven’t really took the coding course here as that is a little too hard for my own brain. But for those who likely want to code a robot or be a successful game developer, go for it. I am sure you will have fun.

    Also, yay it is starting!

    Hello, I am Shyann! I am looking forward to this video. Could Pajet offer some tips about helping someone to realize that they should listen to people who see the good in them? I have been trying to do that with a person I know, but my voice is a little bit overpowering with emotions. It is difficult to focus on emotions with the right “music note,” when helping someone.
