This wouldn't surprise, they have the tech, but this pandemic is a hoax
A book called the Invisible Rainbow about the Spanish flu pandemic suggests it was caused by the new radio towers that were going up everywhere at the time. We're roughly 70% water, obviously radiation can have an adverse effect on us.

You could have a PhD...doesn't mean you know the health implications!
And many PhDs, make that the vast majority - have zero clue.
but try that...

I think /u/nogoresu gave you a pretty good explanation of what happens with antennas and why you don't get amplification in the "typical" amplifier sense. You have also gotten a lot of really bad "correct" answers, which are technically correct, but the reasoning is so beyond flawed that they should be ignored.
​
As far as theory goes, if you want to get super into the physics, Classical Electrodynamics by Jackson is a great graduate level textbook, used both by physics and engineering grad students. Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics by Balanis is heavily used by grad students in EM, and in my opinion, a little easier to digest than Jackson.
More elegant but not necessarily better

I agree with the other comment that the book is awesome but no need to make a video just for the sake of clicks.
TLDR, here the book
The Invisible Rainbow is a book. You can buy it most anywhere books are sold.
https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Rainbow-History-Electricity-Life/dp/1645020096
Its not a "conspiracy" book. But it does discuss how humans and other wildlife are effected by EM radiation, and with every advancement of technology we seem to see an epidemic, pandemic, or have some other die off event (birds, bees, etc) until things adapt to the new fields. Usually respiratory or neurological ailments.
The book was published in 2017 (my copy atleast), and in the last 10 pages hes talking about the 5G rollout in Dec19/Jan20 and and some Starlink deployment and how we will no doubt see some kind of pandemic coincide with it.

This is going to be a very different recommendation from what others have posted here, but take a look at The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenburg. What you are describing could very well be caused by a high sensitivity to RF (radio-frequency emissions), and EMF (electromagnetic fields). So this would be from things like cell phones, routers, Bluetooth headphones, baby monitors, a cell phone towers.
It's something that can develop over time, and then suddenly get worse and manifest itself via various neurological symptoms.
This may not be the issue at all, but I try to mention this whenever I can as it's severely overlooked in the U.S., and our safety guidelines are outdated.
Tesla did not invent free energy. He "invented" wireless transmission. The electricity still had to be generated.
However, it's a GOOD thing wireless transmission of power did not become popular. The damage to the eco system and peoples health would have been unimaginable.

Hers a good read on why wireless power transmission is horrible.

Now, this is all borderline pseudoscience. Take everything with a grain of salt. Or two.
Okay thats fair.; Exact category is often debated.
The less debated fields don't have a replication crisis per se: They have a falsifiability crisis.

I encourage everyone to read a book called “The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life” by Arthur Firstenberg
Half of the 576pages are cited sources It is a profound read to say the least that should raise a handful of questions.
Book: Amazon Link
Hey OP, I'm an electrical engineer in the power industry.
I struggled with physics 1 and 2. I ended up finding this book and it really helped me understand what I was missing. It will be an amazing primer for you before you get to E&M Statics and Dynamics classes. It's also super short, straightforward, and it's only like $25.
A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations (Student's Guides) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521701473/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_i_B1PK7350T19Y24JA0CV7
You'll also get some opportunities to take Computer engineering classes which is more similar to programming arduinos. I took a few computer engineering classes and I learned a lot of cool stuff.
My opinion is that you should take EE because I think it will open up more opportunities for you than CompE and you'll be closer to the physics and circuits. It's a better understanding of analog circuits and weird physics stuff which I think computer engineers miss out on.
Feel free to message me for any questions or help, I love helping and providing guidance when I can.
Yeah I find this comes up for me a lot. I don't have a science background, dropped physics in highschool, can't do math without a spreadsheet to save my damn life.
That being said, a couple of these authors here were a huge jumping off point for me to become excited and energized at the concept; they may not go into the nuts and bolts of things but in terms of illuminating concepts and translating nearly undefinable ideas to a brain like mine it's essential.
I don't know, I think people like to pass judgement, but I find with QM there's as much art to the explanations as science, at least when you're starting to learn; you can hear the same explanation ten times, and then the right author comes along and number 11 is the one that breaks the concept wide open for you.
For what it's worth, that Halpern book I think is pretty well regarded as a historical account, I think the Carroll one is also good. Both little books are meant to be summations.
If you're anything like me and want to go "next level" on this stuff, I started with the Theoretical Minimum by Susskind and Friedman. It seems to hold up to a lot of scrutiny and is a text that appears in first year classes a lot. I'd be lying if I told you I understood it and it didn't kick my ass, but it may be what you're looking for as a next foray.
Finally Rovelli is a damn treasure and his face should be on money. Fight me.
As for Susskind's book, you can find it on Amazon, at least in the US. I'm not sure why it's not titled Classical Mechanics like the other two in the series, but there you are. Whether you choose that or Thorne and Blandford, or another reference, I hope your search for the meaning of tensors is fruitful!
I hear you, that test might tell me that it doesn't happen every time. But as long as it's not too time consuming, I just try and avoid additional exposure (I realize it's basically everywhere at this point, and will only get more intense).
This book may open a perspective on it for you "The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life" https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Rainbow-History-Electricity-Life/dp/1645020096 But I acknowledge it's pervasiveness, similar to cigarette smoke before they banned indoor smoking. It was everywhere and almost pointless in trying to avoid it. It's crazy the amount of downvotes you get for even suggesting that it might pose a problem.
I usually go into airplane mode when sleeping.
I have no bluetooth devices. Neighbor's wifi is not detectable in my house (I've measured it). Yes, cell towers are strong sources, but they lessen with distance. I'm not close to one.
The RF issue is an inconvenient truth. No one wants to believe it's harmful, especially not the industry. The default attitude is "if it was harmful, then why would it be allowed." If you want to believe regulators and industry value your health over a global scale innovation, then go ahead.
Unfortunately the technology has become too important and enmeshed to consider its effects anymore. Most people will do a 15 minute search on this, find some articles on Forbes and proceed to say EHS isn't a real illness, RF isn't ionizing energy so it doesn't affect us, etc. All complete nonsense.
If you're interested, this book is an incredible look at electricity from its beginnings to now, including effects on all living things: "The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life"

I would suggest "The Theoretical Minimum"
https://www.amazon.com/Theoretical-Minimum-Start-Doing-Physics/dp/0465075681
It's not a pop sci book that give handwavy woo-woo explanations, it delves into the math but explains what the equations mean. A college educated person would have no problem with it.
This is a good book for ignorant people like you: The Invisible Rainbow
https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Rainbow-History-Electricity-Life/dp/1645020096
There is a really good book that goes into this
And a youtube series taught by the author
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-rICyRc1Qz144U91HTd6zY9pDVVPwskg
Pretty sure that Dr. Robert Becker documented with extensive scientific studies exponential metastasis rates of cancer tumors and damage to DNA from ambient electromagnetic fields waaaaay less than a 2,000 watt microwave oven in his book The Body Electric.
And then got bankrupted for it.
There's almost no part in stuff like this that can't fail. The way I fixed them was by narrowing down to the section then checking that.
How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic, Second Edition
I've never actually watched this, but Leonard Susskind's Theoretical Minimum set of courses might be worthwhile for you. There's also a book with the same title by him, which sounds like what you're looking for. The book and the courses are both stand-alone, the first isn't a textbook you need for the second.
I'm pretty sure the courses are free to watch, so I'd suggest starting with them. The eBook or paperback versions aren't that expensive, though.
I highly recommend "How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic, Second Edition" by Michael Jay Geier. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071848290/
It details tons of diagnostic procedures and has what failures happen, why they happen and what tools you need to test for specific faults. It also explains what sort of measurements etc, to look for.
YouTubers will know specifics about consoles, etc. But they often don't explain exactly why you need to test specific components etc. The book I linked does. It's also not dry material either. The author does a fantastic job of making things interesting and amusing.
Read “The Invisible Rainbow” linked here all technological advancements have been detrimental to human health and safety
This sub will be overwhelmingly supportive of any idea you have (which is typically a very good thing), but it sounds like you may benefit a lot from reading books meant for an audience of people without a background in physics before you jump into this. This one is great, and there are other books with fewer equations you might also like. Getting a physics degree will require a very strong math background, and on top of that it’ll be two years or so of slogging along before you get to the sorts of things you’re envisioning (quantum mechanics, particle physics). If you’re worried your interest may be gone by then, it may be good to step back and do more thinking first.
Susskind’s book (Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465062903/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_n5f9FbT9VTEFY ) and the corresponding free lectures which cover the same material (https://theoreticalminimum.com/courses/quantum-mechanics/2012/winter).
I also took a course on the subject which used Griffith’s text, but I feel I got more out of The Theoretical Minimum, honestly.
