How to detect EM waves of wavelength above 10 exp +10 meters?
How to detect EM waves of wavelength above 10 exp +10 meters?
(OP)
EM waves have no theoretical limits in their wavelengths, so that waves may have wavelengths less than 10 exp 10 -35 meters (Planck length) and greater than 10 exp +26 meters (length Our Universe) .
If so, it would be possible to detect and record waves as small or as large?
Theoretically exist systems/technology for this?

one (one!) photon with a wavelength of "1 Planck" carries the energy of about 3 tons of TNT. So to detect this type of EM radiation, retreat to your bunker and wait for a very loud bang outside.
The other end of the EM spectrum, that might take a while.. Might as well call it "DC". Yes you can detect steady magnetic fields if they're strong enough. No, if they fill the Universe then they're probably not strong enough.

I see that it is not easy...but also it is not impossible !!!
My idea is to evidence that could be other things (entities, universes,...) out of the limits of our known universe (between 10 exp 10-35 and 10 exp +26 meters).
One way to do it is detecting EM waves smaller and larger than this lenth, that will mean that has been emited by issuers of this dimensions...
If you thing it could be possible...and you are interested on it, I can send you an document explaing it...then you can review....to writte how we can do these experiments...and edit it with our names .. and looking for foundation....

If out there there are other universes, they could born before ours...then the light could began to run before and arive to our universe....

The great thing about life in the modern era is that almost everything has already been explained somewhere on-line. For this question I recommend the following:

What do you mean?
RE: How to detect EM waves of wavelength above 10 exp +10 meters?
EM Waves of wavelength of 10 exp +10, would be a frequency of 30 mHz (This is just a 30 second wave, nothing special actually,similar to the frequency of magnetic field line resonances in the Earth's magnetosphere).
They could be detected, messured and registred with a Multimeter attached to a strip chart recorder, and with a very good isolation from any sort of interference, which may involve going into interstellar space.

Your original question was interesting, but the thread is now very far off-topic for these forums. Eng-Tips management will delete threads that stray off-topic.

In the millihertz region one would have to switch to a magnetic field detector. All that you'll detect is local noise and interference. Even the Voyager space probe (way out in ultra-quiet space) is reporting "local" conditions.

All this info and WEBs have been very usefull for me.
I understand that it is also an usefull "INTELLIGENT WORK FORUMS FOR ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS" , although possibly not too practique for nowadys...but !!!
Shame that you are not interested in this topic, because your expertise would be very helpful for me.
Perhaps you could help me only to review and complete the article (10 pages) and give to me your opinion.

Now, I am not sure you can do the 10^26 wavelength, but one way I would start investigating it would be multiple antennas receiving the signal, and correlation processing the data to remove random noise. The further apart the antennas were (I am thinking miles here) the better the correlation process might reject localized environmental noise.
Let us know how you make out.

1 Hz is near 10^9 meters wavelength.
Will see what happen with: "multiple antennas receiving the signal, and correlation processing the data to remove random noise"
Do you think that could be possible to detect and much higher wavelength?...without noise?
