Then the character breaking words, SpaceSpace, isn't valid either and is a separate character to the single space, and Space^7 is also a separate character for the word break, making Morse code a 5 character language.

To continue the question why does the rainbow have different wavelengths in different areas and why is it always in the same order? Is the rainbow always the same ratio of size of every “colors“ field compared to the total width? This is so fascinating.

and the impact of language is shown by the notion that there are 7 colours in the rainbow. Whilst a rainbow is actually a spread across colour, if you were to divide it, it would better fit into ROYGBV and skip indigo.

This is not true.

The brain and how it perceives colours is an interesting thing. Take magenta for example, in reality that colour doesn't exist but it's our brains filling it un to make sense for us. Also the colour yellow is seen by everyone differently as our eyes only have red, blue and green rods so it takes information from the green and red cones and fills in the blanks. I'm sure I read somewhere that goldfish have yellow rods un their eyes so can truly see what the colour yellow us. Also look up about impossible colours, it's fascinating what our brains do and how we perceive what we "see" is just the brains interpretation of data/information.

For reference, their net worth is generally a measure of the market cap of a company they are largely owner in, but the proportion of that company they own.

Most of these companies market cap is tens to hundreds of times the earnings these companies make annually.

So the fair comparison would be something like, if that billionaire had a net worth that was tens to hundreds of times the size of a country.

The problem is that its a tough comparison, since the act of gaining ownership of a country isn't easy. Most countries that would be reasonably valued as a company with a market cap of 10 billion aren't just going to let you buy them or even part of them.

The issue isn't deciphering where the words end, but which letters are being used. Etsborlaekdascas,wyshishedr. Yes, an experienced operator can guess from the context, but it will slow things down.

Better strap in and set aside some serious chewing time if your goal is to entirely masticate all 800ish corn kernel pericarps, assuming you're eating a whole cob.

You can call anything anything else, but that doesn't make it so. A dotdot is not valid morse code.

If you are interested there is a podcast episode with the lead game designer for league. Im mobile so here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwlBy253qCY

GDP is how much a nation produces in a year. Being a billionaire is about wealth. So you're trying to compare two different things - it's like asking whether the distance from New York to Chicago is faster than a Porsche.

Probably the question you're getting at is: could a billionaire buy all the goods/services of an entire nation?

To which the answer is "almost certainly not". With the exception of unusual microstates, the value of real property is those nations easily exceeds the liquid assets of any billionaire because as you start buying up that property, the cost of the remaining property explodes in value.

This is comparing two different types of things. GDP is a flow (how much per year). Net worth is a stock (the value of what one owns). They are not fundamentally comparable.

If you owned 10 apples and a farmer owns 1 apple tree, who has more? How is the comparison made?

>is much harder to digest though, so we just pass it whole.

That's the point though - properly masticated that thing absolutely gets digested.

Inalmostallcasesitispossibletoreadwithoutbreaks. Not very convenient but I think operators would get used to. So why did they not skip it? Or is it not time critical?

I guess I am thinking from the modern Era perspective where we are trying to compress data/time to send as much as possible

I guess with practice they learnt to do it naturally, like listening to speech. When we listen to someone talk, we can distinguish between syllables within a word or in separate words.

Edit: usually. I have poor hearing and I just realised that part of the problem is words blending into each other.

GDP is a measure of the total goods and services sold by a country in 1 year.

Net worth is not that for most billionaires, it's a reflection of the present value of their assets.

The annual GDP of the state of Hawaii is about 100B. Do you think the state of Hawaii could be bought for just 100B?

It's binary - sound or silence.

If different-length silences are all the same character, so are different-length sounds.

You could say it has 5 characters (dot, dash, 3 different blanks) or 2, but 3 doesn't make any sense.

It's called the "fist" not the hand. Source I still use Morse Code as a Ham Radio Operator.

>so fast it's hard to tell

That's actually part of what makes it work so well. An experienced operator won't think in dots and dashes, just like you don't think of individual lines but whole letters when reading a written text.
