Modern technology from Wifi and smartphones could threaten the astronomical industry

Cát Tiên (T/H) |

Wire-based devices such as Wifi and smartphones are hindering the space signal receiving kinh, affecting global positioning technology and astronomical research.

The location of the Earth in space is not determined randomly or by GPS as we still think. Instead, astronomers use radioactive termicolores to pick up weak signals from super black holes located in the center of distant galaxies, according to hindustantimes.

Radio waves from these black holes move millions of light years to reach Earth, which is the coordination to determine the movement, location and rotation speed of the green planet.

Through radio georedoring technology, these signals are synchronized from the kinh network around the world, providing extremely accurate data for global positioning systems (GPS), aviation navigation, supply chain monitoring or international financial transactions.

However, this advanced science is facing a new enemy, wireless devices.

According to The Conversation, the explosion of consumer devices such as Wifi routes, mobile phones, and 5G and 6G networks is taking over more and more radio spectrum, seriously disrupting astronomical signals.

While radio waves from the universe are very weak, man-made signals on Earth are millions of times stronger, blocking or obscuring what the kinhtechnic needs to receive.

Even frequencies that were once dedicated to astronomical research are being leaked from electronic devices or redistributed for commercial purposes.

This seriously threatens the accuracy that space science needs to achieve to maintain the modern services that society depends on.

To solve the problem, scientists propose establishing reloadless silent zones, where electronic signals are severely limited, or building a frequency protection mechanism dedicated to research.

However, radio spectrum is now managed by country, making it difficult to find a global solution.

In the context of continued strong development of wireless technology, raising public awareness and building a reasonable spectrum management policy is urgent.

Otherwise, the picture of the universe painted by humans may be affected by the modern amenities we use every day.
