SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of electromagnetic wave wavelengths approaching infinity and their relationship to frequency, specifically 0 Hz. It is established that while a wavelength can approach infinity, it can never actually reach 0 Hz due to the fundamental differences in dimensions between wavelength and frequency. The conversation also highlights that all signals radiate towards infinity but diminish in amplitude over distance, making it impossible for any signal to fill the entire expanding universe. The topic ultimately veers into philosophical territory, as measuring such differences is deemed unfeasible.
