Why do tourists tilt at windmills? Besides, science is good for the economy; scientists are employed, and therefore pay taxes and buy stuff. (It also keeps them off the streets!) Not to mention that all this wondering has led mankind to (pair to) stepping foot on other celestial bodies; this

Very cool, but some of the data is wrong - the wave length of a radio wave in the AM band (1000 KHz) is 300 meters, not 100. The wave length of a radio wave in the FM band (100MHz) is 3 meters. Brings into doubt the rest -- However, it is still a cool presentation. On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 6:27
