    So are any animals actually capable of seeing the invisible spectrums of light? Because humans technically can see them, since we make tools that allow us to. Suck on that, other animals. 😤

      Like infrared and ultraviolet? Yeah, there are animals that see those.

        And all the other stuff we yse to see celestial objects and communicate long distance. Our phones are able to see colours we can’t!

          I’ve been thinking about how a species with a metal horn could evolve to use it as a radio and even a hive mind.

              Good luck sending messages that bounce off the atmosphere without RF though.

              In my head as they evolve and learn how it works they customize their antenna to fit their needs. But yeah, that would be funny. Like Signs but shorter. They land somewhere quiet electromagnetically. Could even make it one of those super sensitive telescopes you can’t take any devices near for a bit of dramatic irony. There are some frequencies that are more quiet than others but most are pretty noisy. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to time travel to the past and see how much noise there is compared to now.

              I’m pretty sure if it worked on any frequency in the charged electromagnetic spectrum, they would get completely screwed long before they made it to earth.

              As a qualified amateur operator, the radio spectrum is noisy.
