most people start programing with basic qbasic is free but dos based visual basic cost money but is windows based then move up to maby c or c++ Which is much, much faster, more expandable ect... however, If you want to lurn php or python then It may be best to start with html then move on to php, python or javasript. they are not fast lagueges, you will not create the next killer game engine or powerfull office sute, however you could create some great interactive web pages. html is diffrent from most other langueges, I can program well in visual basic, a bit in c++ (my faverote laguege) but im bewildered by html even though its suposed to be unbilivably simple

Yes, That is exatcly what I mean. Yes, What a great idea. I'm open to implement this whith/whitout a lense at the moment, It would depend on the frequency's my sensors could pick up. I supose If they could pick up a range and where ajustable I may need a tuning knob.

Looking though a screen in the back of the box and seing what is in front of the box but maby: Thin things or less dence things like cardbord become transparent Or maby so you can only see metal objects and everthing else is invisable. Or maby everything is black except white dots in the distance where radio transmiters are. Or somthing simerlar.

Thank you insane_alien, That was much apreciated Now back to my origanal questions: What frequency's would work best? What sort of sensors would I need? That makes it a bit more complex as there are difrent types of signals The electromagnetic spectrum.

nevertheless glass lenses still only work for light unusual types of lenses would be needed for diffrent types of signals

camras that see in infer-red (heat) cost a lot of money mainly because of expensive lense systems. Lense's for high frequency (xray\alpha\gamma) must be mounted to satalites where they are so big. Lenses for eny other frequencys tend to be impatical of non-egsistant. thats a standed pinhole camera, It would not work without the box. (the thing on the right is a tree it is photographing)

Pinhole cameras work using a box with a pinhole in one end You can then see what is in front of the box by light cast onto the back of the box. Pinhole cameras dont have lenses My invention is a pinhole camera with these diffrances The box would be make of lead. The back of the inside of the box would contain a grid of sensors. The back of the outside of the box would hold a screen Each sensor's output is then conected to a pixel of the screen. The sensors could be for detecting input from a cirtain electromagnetic frequency or range. I know the sun produces all sorts of frequancys (including light) Some of those get though our atmosphere Some of those then bouce off the floor\ground\metal objects underground ect... and into my box via the pinhole in the front. For light my sensors would have to be light responsive diodes but that would be poinless as cameras that see in the visable light spectrum already exsist. As you are all interested in scince please respond (what frequency's would work best?, what sort of sensors would I need?, Is this just a stupid idea?).

No its not, Its an IToy flying towards two open folders. (In wingdings in word)

I will see all those as I will live forever. And Nobody can prove otherwise.

z = z² + c This ifinitly complex mandlebot set equation I dont really understand how it works, I use fractals for art more than maths http://www.with-logic.co.uk/Frac.htm My fractals showcase site whats the equation for sin?

I have a remote control car It uses a batery disighned to last for hours and drains it in about 10 mins However you get 10 min's of much power (In my example speed) Could a batery disgned to last decades be used up in a few days alowing me to fly around the world on holiday in my batery powered jetpack? I understand dealing with nuclear waste is a big problem. This would be a great way to get rid of It. You may however get some idiot's iradeating themselves by using a saw to open the battery.
