WiFi Experiment Done by a Group of 9th Grade Students Got Serious Intl Attention

- Gnarl 9y agoNot so fast. Snopes article is little more than ad-hominem attack against scientists interested in the cress experiment. Claim of "lack of an apparent biophysical mechanism of interaction" is just flawed and 20+ years behind actual scientific progress in RF bioeffects, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26151230 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26151230 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23802593 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23802593 . "Replication" attempts mentioned by Snopes fail to actually replicate the orig. experiment exposure setup. A constant ping-flood was run through Wi-Fi router in orig. experiment to simulate real exposure situation like video-streaming. Replications just position a Wi-Fi router in idle-mode close to cress.
- luckydude 9y agoI looked in the article for how far away from the router and didn't see that. Did anyone else see it? Because don't the radiation effects drop off like 1/r^3 ? Not my area, I'm asking, not claiming.
