While watching TV today, we saw that The Andromeda Strain, by Michael Crichton, would be coming on next. Not knowing whether it was by that author or Robin Cook, I had a quick look online.
In the results for the author, was a fairly large preview of the book on one website...a short paragraph got me thinking.

From Page 257
"All these methods suffer the traditonal drawback to any radiation, that of decreasing strength with distance. A light bulb may be unbearably bright at ten feet; it may be powerful at a thousand feet; may be visible at 10 miles. But at a million miles, it is completely obscure, because radiant energy decreases according to the fourth power of the radius. A simple, unbeatable law of physics."

 
Practically everything we do, for data collection in the ITC realm, measures and records energy. That energy is thought to be transmitted, by deceased persons, our aim being to repeat a contact by some means by usage of devices.
So, considering the 'fourth power of the radius' law, are we sure that energy emissions really are the best method of data collection for study ?
It may be argued, that what other means could be used ? After all, if it isn't recordable, how can any fluctuations be actually measured ?

The idea for this thread, was simply to point a personal observation out, that emissions or alterations in an environment of energy are normally recorded.

One idea, for change, is to use active energy displacements. Methods more akin to radar than any receiver only apparatus. Changes would still be the order of the day, but, not affected by the power output ability any entity may be able to emit.
Shadows are popular for sightings, many EVP are awful unless the voice appears to be right on or inside the recorder, traditional TV ITC relies upon images affecting the TV image. There seems to be little that scans using its own energy and records the changes compared to expected returns.

Just a thought :)
