Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Donald Thorn Farley Jr. (October 26, 1933 – May 13, 2018) was an American physicist.  He was a pioneer of radar remote sensing of the earth's ionosphere, in particular noted for his development of the theory and technique of incoherent scatter observation of the thermal fluctuations of plasmas.  About 80 percent of all ionospheric radio scientists in the United States who practice incoherent scatter were trained by Farley, or by his students.
Farley's principal collaborators included John Dougherty, Tor Hagfors, Bela Fejer, Ronald Woodman, Michael Kelley, and Wesley Swartz.   He was the J. Preston Levis Professor of Engineering at Cornell University.
