On further reflection, what really disturbed my little kid was the notion that there are invisible waves passing around and through us all the time and they are what causes the radio to emit music.

Maybe that would alarm Luciano too.

No. It wouldn't. Why? Because the concept of radio waves has already grown in his mind by now. He's quite happy to accept them as part of his reality, and so .... they are.
