    "Bomb explosion" was my analogy of big bang, can't think of it any other way. Even the link you gave me didn't help much. Anyways I was reading the book just out of curiosity, and now realize that things are far too complicated than they appear so won't probe into it anymore. Thank you all for...

    How does a receiving antenna separate desired electromagnetic waves?

    Thank you Dadface and DaleSpam for your replies. I think I got what you are explaining theoretically. Both the resonance part and eyes responding only to certain frequencies. It seems even after interference, individual frequencies don't lose their existence/identity. I got confused because of...

    How does a receiving antenna separate desired electromagnetic waves?

    I don't really know how to put my doubt in words but I will try. Electromagnetis waves of various frequencies are used for communication.Also there are EM waves from other sources, for example even sunlight is eloctromagnetic wave.Now all these waves are out there in space. So at...
