The term in various areas
The idea of return also appears in technology ( future technological return ), in engineering ( return period ), in telecommunications ( return channel ) and in philosophy ( eternal return ), among other areas.
Future technological return is understood, for example, as an argument that is used to support the need to invest large amounts of money in basic scientific programs (those that are carried out without short-term objectives, but with the aim of obtaining more knowledge about of reality or the foundations of nature) whose chances of success are not promising at first glance, or require a long period of work to see results.
The return period
The idea of return period appears in various areas of engineering to refer to the time that is expected to elapse between two low probability events .
In hydraulic engineering, a common example is the average time that passes between two floods of equal flow, or greater than a previously defined flow. In seismic engineering, on the other hand, it can be understood by observing the average time between two earthquakes whose magnitudes exceed a certain value .
The return period is also called recurrence and is a statistical concept used to evaluate an event taking into account its level of rarity .
The concept in telecommunications
Thanks to the return channel, it is possible to communicate with the provider of an interactive service with its receivers, since it sends responses from the latter to the servers of the former. This is very common in Digital Terrestrial Television (known by its acronym DTT ), since it gives users the possibility of sending direct responses to the provider.
For the exchange to be effective in this area, it is necessary to have an Internet connection at both ends. The most well-known types of return channel are telephone line , Ethernet , Bluetooth and WiFi .
The eternal return
Philosophy defines eternal return as a repetition of the world that consists of it becoming extinct in order to be born again.
According to this conception, it returns to its beginnings through conflagration , that is, it burns completely. When nothing remains but its ashes, the world is rebuilt to give rise to the same succession of events as in its last period of existence.
