Higgs Field Radio: Revolutionizing Global Communication

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of utilizing the Higgs field for two-way communication radio, specifically addressing the feasibility of global communication without satellite relay stations. Participants explore theoretical implications and connections between different fields.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions how the Higgs field could be used for two-way communication radio, suggesting it could allow communication through the Earth's mantle and core.
  • Another participant asserts that using the Higgs field for communication is not feasible, drawing a parallel to the temperature field of the atmosphere, which is also ubiquitous but not usable for radio communication.
  • A subsequent reply seeks to clarify the connection between the temperature field and the Higgs field, noting that both are fields.
  • Further clarification is provided that both fields are scalar fields, emphasizing their nature.
  • One participant proposes that to send signals through the Higgs field, one would need to use an excitation of the field, comparing it to how photons are excitations of the electromagnetic field, but concludes that Higgs particles are unsuitable for long-range signal transmission.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the feasibility of using the Higgs field for communication. While some explore the idea, others firmly reject it, indicating a lack of consensus on the topic.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not fully explore the assumptions underlying their claims, and there are unresolved questions regarding the practical implications of using different fields for communication.

The higgs field is everywhere.. how do you use it in a 2 way communication radio so the United States can communicate with the other side of the planet by passing right thru the mantle and core without using any satellite relay station?

You don't.

The temperature field of the atmosphere is everywhere too. Doesn't mean you can use it as a radio either.

What is the connection of the temperature field of the atmosphere to the higgs field?

They are both fields.

More specifically, they are both scalar fields.

You'd need to use an _excitation_ of the field to send signals. For example, photons are _excitation_ of the EM field, and radios emit very large numbers of low-energy photons - that's what radio signals *are*.

Higgs field excitations are Higgs particles. Their properties are utterly unsuitable for sending long-range signals.
