Disclaimer: I don't know if anything said in the article is true -- or not...
I do know that the article is interesting however...
Here's the thing -- I notice that a lot of posters are using the words "forward" and "backward" with respect to time, with respect to waves...
Here is my problem with those words, used in this context:
If you are one of the posters who used the words "forward" or "backward" in your posts -- I ask you to first consider a simple Sine Wave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave).
OK, now if you used the words "forward" and/or "backward" in your post -- please explain to me the following:
Does a simple, periodic Sine Wave -- go "forwards" through time -- or "backwards"?
?
Forwards or backwards?
?
Note that I'm NOT asking about a complex information-carrying radio signal as might be emitted by a radio station or other source -- I'm asking about the simplest of simple Sine Waves -- as might be output by a frequency generator, pendulum, or other simple pure sine wave generating device...
So, is that wave moving forwards or backwards?
?
Or more specifically forwards or backwards -- in Time?
?
Forwards or backwards?
?
