radar
the word radar is an abbreviation of "RAdio Detecting And Ranging". (it serves for detection of objects in space, by concentrated electro-magnetic waves, that depart from a sender, are reflected by the object and return as an echoe. this echoe is displayed by a receiver.) radar is a very intelligently designed word. it is onomatopoeia, which means a word, that imitates the sound it represents. radar – readable both ways. something is sent out and the returning image represents the found object. but it just represents - the object itself is altered, by being detected. the word radar, read from right to left, maybe is not the same word than read the other way round. information displayed on this receiver is something different than the probes experience.
