That would be true if radio waves traveled at the speed of light.

EM radiation travels at the speed of light in a vacuum you silly goose.

Sure, in a theoretical vacuum.

"Space" is not a perfect vacuum. If the signals were transmitted from space, this would be nearly true, but there is quite a bit of interference between earth and "space," causing that signal to slow down quite a bit before it gets to that near-vacuum point.

Or did I miss that day in physics?

Jete, are you advocating Captain Kirk-like sexing of hot alien womens?

Radio waves are a form of light.

No you just missed that web page when you googled it. OHH BURN!!! sorry I could not resist the temptation to troll. Ignore me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Mirko if you are challenging me to a discourse on our relative knowledge of science, I accept. If you think I'm googling, let's do it in a voice chat so the pace is much faster, and we can see who knows a little about a little and who doesn't. Sound fun?
