Yeah , no . Taking and issue and turning it into a what about men isn ' t ok . <| sep |> The staff were black . <| sep |> What I don ' t understand is how so much information can be packed into a radio wave . It comes down to two things , right ? 1 How many distinct waves can the machinery create in a fixed length of time ? 2 How much information can be packed into a single radio wave ? I ' m guessing that I ' m underestimating the second idea . How much information can be packed into a radio wave ? Do they use Fourier analysis or something ? How does a single radio wave hold so much information and get unpacked when received to determine that information ? Seems like god damn magic . I understand AM , because that ' s just sending 1 ' s and 0 ' s by varying the amplitude . But that isn ' t as efficient as FM , right ? FM uses a more clever system that lets more data through in a given period of time , or at least that ' s my understanding . But it seems like magic .
