I believe.

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel it's because thd triangles represent the star of David

@Hyperhidrosis @Seth_Wachhaltamittel ya know what's heretical dark magic? Anything that works with microwave. I defy you to explain why a waveguide even works at all.

@Nimbius666 @Seth_Wachhaltamittel @Hyperhidrosis microwaves are elastic and they bounce off walls or something

It never left

Freaky looking science is BACK BABY

Always has been.

Not beating the ”computer chips have demons sealed in them” allegations lole

(Looking through techbook) "Let's see a complexity level 4 device that is over twenty years old?" "All right bring out the sin chicken."

In college (long time ago) I had a course on antennas, microwave cavities and shiet. All I remember today can be summarized: "these are fucking black magic".

There's this UWB antenna guru, Schantz, who based on his antenna work thinks we got a good chunk of electromagnetic theory wrong.

>Steve absent mindedly bent this paperclip during a meeting

These are called evolved antennas for anyone curious.

Photons are a particle that has a frequency (wtf?) and that simultaneously do and do not have mass.

He is correct; much knowledge was lost in the switchover from Maxwell’s Quaternions, to the Heaviside Vector Calculus simplification.

I think that's a silly allegation, people are just superstitious when it comes to things

It's not that freaky, also the shape was designed by a computer that used an "evolutionary algorithm", not by a human being. I don't see how people think this is spooky

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel heckin science is amazeballs!!

@Gundog @Seth_Wachhaltamittel building and maintaining infrastructure usually comes with a solid amount of superstition. why else did masons (used to) lay coins beneath a building's foundation stone? we have rituals for everything, it's just familiar.

I can't remember the model number, but we used to have an old piece of comm equipment where the antenna was literally a pair of bare wires held apart by PVC pipe with holes in it, all held up by a metal pole stuck in the ground. Worked great.

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel
I wonder if it has the same ratios as a pentagram?

I mean it’s technically all wobbled because RF waves kinda oscillate and also bounce off of stuff. I don’t know if it’s optimum to catch a signal on the “flat” side of a wave or a “peak” but I think the shape it to make sure any incoming wave hits it at that angular sweet spot

Thankfully a lot of this is intuitive to some people (the magically gifted).
