I get the basic idea.
static is a collection of random electrons that are picked up on accident in a radio, in the IF stage of the tuner.
it is essentially a mass attenuation of background radiation generated from power lines, cell phones, computers and other electronics that produce RF energy; whether by design or as a byproduct.
but is the static that we hear when our radios are out of tune, or the snow we see on a weak TV channel really caused from deep space radiation, left over by decaying stars and such?
or is it really just man made noise from our own electronics?
is static all around us? If you were to take a radio and encase it inside a lead vault; completely blocking any and all radio waves from reaching it, would it still produce sound?
