A Whole Glob of Colored Waves


Think of all the various waves that surround us. Radio waves, microwaves, electro-magnetic waves, light waves and more. The list goes on and on. Now imagine if all of those waves that exist outside of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be seen. Let's assign a different color to each "invisible" wave. What would you see? A potpourri of colored lines intertwining and swirling through the air. So many would exist that it is doubtful that you could even see where you were going. Fortunately for us, we only see a tiny fraction of the waves that exist. Otherwise, we'd probably be be "blind" to everything around us!
