In summary, the effectiveness of insulation or material in protecting the contents of a box from various types of waves, signals, and energies depends on the specific frequency and level of screening required. It is possible to measure and detect these waves and signals by using methods such as electromagnetic screening and using terms like "EM protection" and "RF screened box" in a Google search. However, there may be some signals and energies that cannot be completely blocked, such as gamma rays that can penetrate lead if the material is not thick enough.

1. what type of insulation/material if a box is made of will protect in 100% effectiveness it's content from all type of waves/signals/energies that exist(anything you can think of or imagine) and that comes in contact with it?
2. how do I measure/detect all type of waves/signals(the exact types) that come in contact with that box and figure out their source?
3. are some signals/waves/energies impossible to be blocked no matter what material we put?

Even gamma rays will penetrate lead if it's not thick enough.
Longer wavelengths will cause finite currents to flow in the sides of a metal box and that can cause radiation to the inside.
The answer to your question depends upon the particular frequency you are interested in and just how much screening is required. Your question is far too open for a meaningful answer.
If you haven't read anything on the subject, this link could be a start. Use Google with search terms like "Electromagnet Screening", "EM protection" "RF screened box" etc. That will give you an idea of the sort of performance you might expect. Ditto for radioactive screening.

1. What types of energies/waves/signals can be blocked?

Blocking all types of energies/waves/signals is a complex process and can include blocking electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and even physical energies such as heat or pressure. The specific types of energies/waves/signals that can be blocked will depend on the materials and methods used.

2. How is blocking of energies/waves/signals achieved?

Blocking of energies/waves/signals can be achieved through various methods such as using shielding materials, creating barriers, or using technology such as signal jammers. The specific method used will depend on the type of energy/wave/signal that needs to be blocked.

3. Why would someone want to block all types of energies/waves/signals?

There are various reasons why someone may want to block all types of energies/waves/signals. Some common reasons include concerns about privacy, security, or health. For example, blocking certain types of signals can prevent hacking or eavesdropping, while blocking electromagnetic waves can protect against radiation exposure.

4. Is it possible to completely block all types of energies/waves/signals?

While it is possible to block most types of energies/waves/signals, it is difficult to achieve complete blocking. Some energies/waves/signals may be able to penetrate or bypass certain barriers or materials. Additionally, new technologies and methods for transmitting and receiving signals are constantly being developed, making it challenging to block all types of energies/waves/signals.

5. Are there any potential negative effects of blocking all types of energies/waves/signals?

Blocking all types of energies/waves/signals can have both positive and negative effects. On one hand, it can provide privacy and security, and protect against harmful radiation. However, it can also interfere with necessary communications and disrupt the functioning of certain devices. It is important to carefully consider the potential consequences before attempting to block all types of energies/waves/signals.
