microWaves ≠ photons. It just has to mess with the target’s waves with precision chaos.

- reilly3000 3y agoIn the context of microwave systems, the most relevant information is coming from the waveform function, not the substrate. The densely distributed particles are making small movements in response to its neighboring particle’s ‘tensors’. I think a lot of people think of the laser concept of photons shooting through space, but with masers the waveform and it’s amplification are what make it meaningful.
- baxtr 3y agoWell… aren’t microwaves electromagnetic waves and as such photons?!
