Doesn't a person get more EM radiation from living under high tension lines than from a phone anyway? If there are no cancer clusters around them, I don't see how this idea ever got legs in the first place.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoSize of wave matters.
- SigmundA 5y agoWhich is why microwaves are known to be safe because they are lower frequency than even light so the only known biological effect is heating which is purely a function of watts per kg exposure.
- ncmncm 5y agoMicrowaves are not, in fact, known to be safe. About all we can have confidence about is that entirely unmodulated low-power microwaves seem to have little effect, and the modulation already used for the various generations of cell phones cause not very much trouble. We have certainty that exposure to some E-M field modulations have profound effects.
- SigmundA 5y agoThe only known effect of microwaves is heating which is purely based on power hence why we cook food with them. They are also good at transmitting information quickly so we also use them at 4 orders of magnitude lower power in your cellphone. Its does heat the side of your head up a tiny bit about the same as if you held a small flashing LED light up to it. So yes microwaves are indeed known to be safe at cell/wifi power levels unless you have data that shows otherwise then we need to figure how it causes damage in a non-thermal way.
- ncmncm 5y agoYou are 100% wrong on every detail (except that microwaves can be used to transmit information). Your assumption that you know everything about a topic just because you don't know of anything that contradicts your beliefs is a condition we call profound ignorance.
- SigmundA 5y agoYou need to provide some evidence of new biological activity from microwaves to revolutionize our physical understanding, the burden is on you not me.
- ncmncm 5y agoAdmitting your total ignorance of the topic could be seen as progress. But I doubt it will keep you from announcing certainty again almost immediately.
- SigmundA 5y agoPosting no backup to your claims is not helping your argument, please enlighten my ignorance, I thought for sure we cooked food with microwave ovens.
- capitainenemo 5y agoWell, there is this theory... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21457072/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21457072/
- SigmundA 5y agoThey get a lot more from the sun and some of its is actually ionizing and causes cancer.

- ncmncm 5y agoModulation is everything. High tension lines at constant frequency (or DC) produce very different effects than varying fields.
- Gnarl 5y ago@erdos4d Completely different frequencies. Can't compare like that.
