Did you do anything to confirm it was EMF/Wifi?
Like moving further away because E/M strength falls off with the square of the distance.
Perhaps your laptop screen has developed a flicker, which gives you a headache from long use? Perhaps your eyesight or room lighting has changed so the contrast now strains your eyes?
Perhaps your study room now has a bunch of cars parking outside, and is filling with fumes, or there's a gas leak in your house, or a bit of heating/melting plastic somewhere releasing fumes?
Perhaps you're returning with a lot of apprehension, and getting a bunch of stress just sitting down to rejoin "work" and getting a lot of stress-related muscle / skeletal tension and gut upset? Perhaps it's a correlation - you make coffee and sit down to work, but it's the coffee you're not adjusted to anymore?
The world is an electric place - homes run mains electric cables all around, the atmosphere is filled with radio and TV and satellite transmissions, things like streetlights are quite electrically noisy, neighbours with wifi is common. A "good" signal strength might be in the region of -30 to -65dbm, or 0.000001 Watts to 0.0000000003 Watts at the receiver. Compare that one way with a 1KW electric heater - this is a lot weaker. Compare it another way to the way you can turn a radio or TV on and pick up strong signals which are always around and going through you - but I have no idea how the signal strength compares.
- loceng 8y agoI appreciate your analysis. To contrast this, simply to bring everything into a larger perspective: we developed in a natural world without all of this electrical pollution. And as your questions suggest, it is very difficult to pinpoint what any one cause may be, including what state of health a person is currently in - and whether that is perhaps making them hypersensitive, likewise it could be a 'skill' or sensitivity they developed and can feel only in specific contexts which would further make testing it difficult.
- starbeast 8y ago>we developed in a natural world without all of this electrical pollution. That big glowy thing in the sky might disagree.
- loceng 8y agoIt's clear that people's understanding of EMFs is low overall based on comments like this - where the presence of the sun and other natural levels of EMFs that make it through our atmosphere at different quantities, at different times, etc is being compared as equal to say electrical power lines, screens/monitors, CPUs, etc; it's naive.
- starbeast 8y agoDo you think that there is something qualitatively different between electromagnetic fields based on whether the source is produced by humans? Of course they can be directly compared, the field doesn't give a shit what made it.
- loceng 8y agoThere are lots of factors that make it different. The most all-or-nothing version of it would be to realize biologic material will burn up if you're right next to the sun, and you won't be impact by the sun "at all" if you're in a lead container that's thick enough (a faraday cage blocking EMFs).
- lucas_membrane 8y agoYes, the Milky Way does ping us with a pretty good shot of microwaves when it's above the horizon, even when we are where its visible light is not visible because of light pollution.
- sifoobar 8y agoIt's mostly wireless antennas, from my experience. Distance helps a lot. It's not like I was secretly wishing for this to happen. It sucks enough without having people spitting and laughing at you to mask their own ignorance.
