Has anyone done modeling on what capabilities for which frequencies it would have if it were an antenna? Has anyone gone back to reimage it?

Has anyone gone back to reimage it?
- LeoPanthera 3y agoIn general, antennas do not work underwater. There is a very specific exception: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Sanguine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Sanguine (Also, if it is a Chondrocladia concrescens sponge, it's unlikely to still be alive and in the same place, 60 years later.)
- Avshalom 3y agoI love that the article states it "would have required a giant antenna covering two-fifths of the state of Wisconsin... was never implemented because of protests and potential environmental impact" Yeah, i'm sure it was those damned hippies not the wild impracticality of covering half of wisconsin.
- lvass 3y agoThat's just the area formed by the grid of underground cables.
- ahmedfromtunis 3y agoThey don't have to actually cover that much space; not even close. It is actually possible to emulate an arbitrarily giant antenna using an array of antennas.
- pyinstallwoes 3y agoHow is that so?
- VHRanger 3y agoWhat are we using Wisconsin for right now anyway
- rapjr9 3y agoMaking sausage, cheese, beer, and heavy machinery.
- ajross 3y ago> Has anyone gone back to reimage it? It's a sponge from 60 years ago. I daresay they'll have trouble finding it.
- uoaei 3y agoIt was mostly a rhetorical question given this obvious fact but I figured the idea of due diligence in pursuit of science did come up at some point.
