One potential hiccup with your one-photino-bird-universe theory (which is quite fun!): I believe I remember a scene in which the ‘birth’ of a photino bird was described. If I remem…

Whoa, thank you! I don't know much about RF and learned ad-hoc for this project, and it seems perfectly plausible to me that someone knowledgeable would be able to look at this and…

Thank you very much! I agree, they are incredible! I really had no idea until making this project, and it makes things like cellular phones so astoundingly impressive.

Thank you for sharing this! It is sort of a vulnerable thing to write, because it reveals the shapes and bounds of my own ignorance, and the path I took to learning. I am really gr…
