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.

    Huge congratulations to the young lady in her test score and acceptance into a prestigious school! I’d like to add that if you study a half hour before going to sleep, what you study gets transfered to long term memory better than if you study during the day at various times.

    It is a lot easier for me to study and do work every day through the week, than missing a week at a time and coming back for a week. Too spaced out that way.
