Because the signal decreases in strength by a squaring of the distance.

Imagine if you were to make a signal pulse, a deep space flare. The time duration is very short to maximize the distance it can travel. So you have a sphere that has say 1 made-up-units/ square meter on that sphere of say one light year radius. The amount of total energy on the surface of that sphere is always the same. Now after one year, the radius has grown by one light year. So the distance it traveled has doubled... but a simple bit of math says the surface area has grown much more than just doubling. And then after one more year? You can quickly see that while the distance traveled is a linear function of time, the energy density is decreasing exponentially.

I read it entirely and found nothing contradictory to his version of events, save the conflicting statements to police. That is a concern, but police can get many people to recant their factual statements with false ones. This is really more dependent on the psychological profile of the individual and the amount of pressure applied by police.

Selling his possessions actually makes sense even for an innocent man. Legal defense is expensive, he is poor and poor people have a very high conviction rate.

Does the dilators help? I asked once with more said but the bot hated it I guess. As a woman going through same issues that started with a parasitic infection picked up in the hospital I appreciate this AMA. Bless you.
