It was Never a Wave Signal

For over a century, we've believed that signals travel as waves-riding through space like invisible threads of energy. But what if that was never the full story?In this bold and paradigm-shifting book, independent researcher and engineer Sandeep Chavan dismantles the classical illusion of wave-based transmission and introduces a radical alternative: ripple dynamics within a structured vacuum field.
Drawing from the Unified Energy Dynamics (UED) framework, Chavan argues that nothing truly moves-what we call a signal is not a traveling wave but a field-level consequence, triggered by alignment between the source and the observer. From telegraphy to Wi-Fi, from antenna design to space communication, the book explores how modern technology evolved accidentally, without foundational clarity-yet succeeded because of invisible alignment with the ripple field.
Through engaging chapters and vivid metaphors, readers are introduced to key concepts like: Ripple Alignment Criterion (RAC) - The real condition for information resolution Alignment Threshold Time (ATT) - Why perception is always delayed, but consequence is instant Ripple Broadcasting - How we waste energy trying to transmit, when we should anchor and align Cognitive Networks & Ripple-Aware AI - The future of devices that don't just process-but listen This is not just a book on communication.
It's a book that redefines what communication is. Accessible to engineers, physicists, technologists, philosophers, and curious minds alike, It Was Never a Wave Signal invites you to reimagine how we send, receive, and understand information-not through motion, but through meaning. It explains why signals fail, why space transmissions struggle, and why your body itself is the ultimate receiver-resolver system.
Whether you're a scientist tired of half-truths, a technologist seeking the next big leap, or simply someone who's ever wondered how your phone really works-this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about waves, signals, and reality itself. Stop thinking in waves. Start listening to the ripple.
