Sound, that intangible reality that allows us to speak, transmit our thoughts on airwaves then decoded by the ear may be one of the great mysteries of God’s Creations, yet without it “modern” communication would be impossible.

Disciples of The Most Honourable Elijah Muhammad, under his student the Honourable Minister Louis Farrakhan have been blessed to partake of knowledge, wisdom and understanding that the world of science and technology only yesterday knew nothing about.

Therefore, in their Lessons, sound is revealed as travelling at the rate of one thousand, one hundred twenty feet per second (1,120 ft per second).

The knowledge of this before and after the Industrial Revolution maybe known, but it had no practical application as we see today, that we can say manifests the knowledge and use of it.

However since the 1950’s, Europeans have made many advances in science and they have now made great leaps in the fields of Telecommunications, Aeronautics, Space Travel, Electrical & Sound Engineering, Satellite Communications, Astronomy, Oceanography and other fields of human endeavour.

Before, the fifteenth Century Europeans would not traverse the breadth of the oceans for fear of falling off the distant horizon and believing without comprehensive knowledge that the earth was flat.  Yet, archaeological evidence and profound objects are littered across the earth which show that Africans developed great civilisations in South America, Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the European mainland, Australia, China and in the Islands of the Pacific.

During the t the fifteenth Century Enlightenment period, Islamic scholarship and learning gave the West the ability to navigate the oceans and the use of the Islamic numbering system of ‘one to ten’ including the number zero.  The chapters of the twentieth Century are now closed and one speculates how the West has been able to develop technologically?

Research of their textbooks from the early nineteenth Century, one is unable to locate in “lay” textbooks the distance of the earth from the sun.  On closer inspection of textbooks in the late twentieth Century, lay textbooks now reveal that the earth is ninety-three million miles from the sun.

The ability to speak and hear is comparable to the modern day telephone system that allows us to telephone and speak to people over great distance.  Therefore our ability to speak and hear, translate sound waves and the brain interpret everything said, in the language spoken, is a smaller process but greater still when considered that Tele-communications is mirrored on this process.

This process happens in time-periods that take less than a second does and could be a hundredth, thousandth, millionth, billionth, trillionth or quadrillionth of a second.  A billionth of a second is a nanosecond.

Africa’s inability to research, fund and develop this simple technology thwarts her ability to improve relationships by the great Art of Communication.

We hear sound from computers if a receiving receptacle similar to the ear is available to receive, interpret and transmit sound waves.   Likewise the human ear receives sound waves, interprets, calculates and translates sound into language the brain understands that is then spoken from the mouth.  Thus, we are able to communicate with each other.

Africa’s inability to develop and produce her own technological and communications industry is easily resolved by overcoming the rationale that she must develop like the West and apply the same technological solutions.

The principles of the technology are the same and this Africa must understand and harness for the benefit of her people and nation.

Sound waves travel without fibres, or cables to enable a recipient to hear. Logically the ability to utilise this simple process is a solution to increasing Africa’s technological expertise without having like the West to take 50 years to develop instead of the Asian Tiger economies ten-year development history.

The earth’s atmosphere, computers and satellite dishes in telecommunications mirror human speech, the ear and the brain, and are used to show man’s potential to harness God’s gift for the benefit of self, community and nation.

Peace.
