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.
