Science if the theoretical underpinnings of "why" things work. Technology is the application of science to make practical devices. The same applies to scientists and technologists. A scientist studies the theory of "why" and technologists take the discoveries and make things we can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Radiant Energy was a theory. There are some brief scientific explanations on it but, nothing useful so far. Tesla wasn't able to put it into use because of lack of funding. One of the uses was for the expansion of the brain's electrical potential on a universal level. It would be interesting to know about what led up to the equation for Einstein's theory although, I haven't found one which shows solid formulas leading to E=mc^2. There are alot of explanations that go hand in hand with the two such as: the earth's magnetic flux, the sun's light/radiant energy etc... Microwaves are a practical application but, just as Newton stated about action/reaction, the object put under the microwave heats up but it's cellularly altered.
