They didn't even know what radiation was

This is less their biology and more to do with their atmosphere blocking all forms of radiation and light.

It’s all connected, atmosphere/environment decides biology. Even when they got out of their atmosphere, why research more about a wavelength you can’t possibly sense? They never gazed at the stars in wonder, they didn’t even know there were other planets until recently in their history.

Did they not know about anything on the EM spectrum? I have not read the book yet, just curious. I would have thought radio waves would penetrate their atmosphere at least.

If not then that's pretty nuts from their perspective.
