Around the time of my little
'international boarder incident,' my mom was hinting to my grandparents that she needed a new car. That Xmas grandpa gave here one of those cigarette lighters with a note that said, "Well, you've gotta start somewhere." 🀣

Don’t get mad at me, but I agreed to the NDA*, it was just too tempting.

Mine was trouble on the domestic front, not international.
My parents had bought their first brand-new car - a 1967 Chevrolet Caprice coupe, center-shift transmission, bucket seats. They were so proud.
My mother left me in the car while she went grocery shopping (hey, it was the 60s) and I found this great thing on the dashboard that heated up, and left really fun rings in the upholstery when I pressed it to the seat. They weren't happy with me.

So, what the worst thing for which you ever got in trouble?

When I was 10 years old (1974), my buddy Craig (9) and I caused a (very minor) international incident because we got on the wrong subway train in West Berlin and wound up in Soviet-controlled communist /EAST/ Berlin. As a result, Major Dad (USAF), his boss (Craig's LTC Dad), their boss, AND the base commander all had to put on their fancy-dress uniforms to retrieve us.

I spent the rest of the summer on HOME CONFINEMENT.

TOP THAT! 🀣πŸ€ͺ

Radio waves and microwaves, yes, they work very much like ocean waves. Planets generate their own "sound" in radio waves. They amplify and cancel each other, all over the universe.
Gamma bursts are different, because they're charged particles.

Welcome to social media where the punishment for exaggeration and hyperbole is the death penalty.

I wonder, do the radio waves and microwaves and whatnot that astronomers receive from space have similar layers and harmonics to the sound waves we hear on earth? And, can you hear two gamma bursts or whatever interfere with each other as their waves cross paths, the way that the sound from separate ocean waves interact on the shore?
