| Most things in our world have movement relative to us, even if only on a molecular level, so the doppler effect is around us all the time. It's just that in most cases the relative movement is so negigible that we don't consciously pick it up (or our ears aren't precise enough). But, doppler is good and useful! It is useful for spacefaring radio signals from spacecraft don't just transmit their radio signal but can also be analysed to give us useful information about their movement relative from us. NASA uses the doppler effect to cross-reference the speed data of their spacecraft. | Most things in our world have movement relative to us, even if only on a molecular level, so the doppler effect is around us all the time.

| + | And there is so much more! Have you heard of relativistic doppler? Grand worlds will be opened up to you with the amazing data gathering of other planets and stars you can do by applying physical principles that go beyond the elementary conceptual understanding I can provide here. Hell, I didn't even give you the math, that's how little I actually know. Time will tell if I am ever gonna learn more about this. | ||
