With the click of a button, the black screen turns to many colors. My television turns on. How can this happen from multiple feet away? Why sometimes does this remote control not work? I’ve always been told that it’s some kind of laser beam hitting a sensor on the television but I’ve always questioned that. I began to take a closer look.
You see, there isn’t actually a laser at all. The television turns on with the click on a button because the remote sends out tiny BBS, little bullets, so when they hit the “on” button on the TV that it turns on. If you look close enough you can sometimes catch a glimpse of them. This theory explains why sometimes, depending on the angle, the television doesn’t turn on. It’s because the BBs are out of range and fall short of the “on” button. This fact explains why the on/off button is red, it’s like a target. Also, don’t let the battery companies fool you into buying new batteries when the signal falls short; you’re simply out of ammo and need to refill your tiny bullets. After all of these years of hearing about laser and sensors, all that turns my TV on and off is a stream of tiny bullets that hit the on/off button.
