The discussion centers on the concept of one-dimensional signals in nature, particularly in relation to radio waves and their transmission. The initial argument suggests that radio signals appear one-dimensional due to their lack of directionality and shape, allowing for consistent reception regardless of antenna orientation. However, it is acknowledged that electromagnetic waves, including radio and mobile signals, do have directionality and are influenced by reflections and obstacles. The conversation also touches on the complexity of particle interactions at a fundamental level, emphasizing that interactions are inherently directional and not truly one-dimensional. Ultimately, the discussion raises questions about the nature of signals and their dimensionality in various contexts.

I doubt that anything is appropriate for this forum, including conversation. As you can see, we have some answers in between. Maybe you can fill in where my PhD was incomplete, please?

Best not go there, I think. I could be an eminent Surgeon but what I might write about Keynsian Economics could be total rubbish. What one writes here is one's only relevant qualification and, on this topic, your output is very fanciful and certainly not Physics as we know it.

I think that it is a generous to be rich in contents, animate people and create something lasting. This is the kind of moderation I would do on my thread. There are many intuitive aspects of the topic, equivalences between abstract ideas, some of which possesses material links that can be qualified with further knowledge. Posts often tend to become one-liners. No problem there, but this constant forum-wide bickering about doing homework should stop, unless you want your purpose in life to be AUTOMATION in place of intelligent response.

I'm afraid that goes with the territory. If you want to have an informed opinion about a topic in Physics and to be sure you are understood then you need the knowledge and to use the accepted vocabulary. PF is pretty happy with the way it is, thank you. There are many other, less rigorous platforms where you can voice your opinions. I don't think you are likely to make this forum change to fit what you seem to require.

This thread has changed directions so many times, even a GPS can't bring it back. It is done.
