Out of curiosity, if they aren't waves as we know of them, what form do they take?

Waves only appear 2 dimensional when on paper or on screen.

Actual broadcast, if you could see it, looks like a coil spring... from our perspective.

Back off a ways and watch and it probably looks expanding helical.

Then you have to take in the 4th dimension.... and entropy.

Here's the weird part.
Matter can and does travel faster than (our perceived) speed of light.
Imagine explosions so large that black holes are turned inside out blasting light, matter and energy half way across the known universe in a matter of split seconds.

186,282 miles per second...
pfft.
That's a snails pace.
