The problem is that it isn't better. No amount of sweet PR talk, neither any far fetched calcualtion is going to change the very obvious fact it's something that should never be used in practice. It's less reliable, has lowe

No you absolutely cannot increase the capacity tenfold. DAB takes ten times the bandwidth (1536kHz vs 150kHz for an FM channel, albeit without gaps). There is no conspiracy, it is done completely openly, while almost nobody really wants it.

Also don't miss that one DAB multiplex takes the space of about 10 FM stations.

Digital doesn't imply good. It isn't better than MP3, it's typically 80kbps or less. 48 is not uncommon. It's no better than AM, it's only made sound superficially good with fake high frequencies and often fake ster

Yes, you can do that, but the sound quality is very poor.

I guess no, or it is barely worth it. The thing is that FM is very robust. It only needs to be a little bit stronger than competing signals, which doesn't really give much room for data, considering that the typical bandwith is 150kHz

Absolutely not. While FM has a bit lower bandwith than healthy ears, digital adds fake high frequencies. There is just no way to cram enough data in the same signal to make digital any better.

That's an observation. Schrodinger cat isn't both dead and alive. Nothing happens in the box while it's closed. Really think about how this is an elegant solution that makes it completely un-paradoxical, excluding that even

It has nothing to do with consciousness, but the event must matter, or it doesn't happen. Even your consciousness only exist if it matters and will be observed.

I think the most reasonable explanation is that unobserved things do not happen, at all, or only happen on some abstract statistical level. That doesn't imply that consciousness is special. The reason why you are aware of reading this,

Contrary to what used to be hammered into people, it must be observed by the observer, that is, by you. Any random interaction will not trigger the collapse. An interaction must itself be observed by the observer, otherwise it will not caus

Almost nobody does. There is just no advantage in switching to digital radio, and most likely there never be.

Isn't the primary reason that the picture has to be projected on a flat plane?

There is a guy, Viktor Kozeny, who is known for some hard to understand scam, and, I think he's a guy just like that, who through some horrible mistake ended up having actual responsibility, and screwed up so completely that nobody is
