The 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.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoBut you only seem to be pointing at the "the great unknown", yet we don't have a huge,sudden increase in cancers and other things associated with EM radiation by those who are concerned about it. Science is about proving things and speaking with authority on that. I can sling "what ifs" all day long and it's almost useless unless I have an intention to act on it and prove or disprove it.
- ncmncm 5y agoThe first and by far most important step in learning, as in science, is acknowledging that you do not already know the answer. The subject here is people insisting, on the basis solely of wholesale ignorance of the whole subject, that they know all the answers. We don't have any evidence whatsoever whether radiation from upcoming generations of cellphone will stimulate cancer growth, or cooties. People who insist, on basis of that entire lack of evidence, that they know it doesn't are the immediate problem.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYeah when you have some trend then it's worth seeking that, but right now the scaremongering over cellphones (especially 5G) helps no one.
- ncmncm 5y agoUltimately, whether opposition will turn out to have been right depends on things literally nobody has checked on. Never, in the history of life on earth up until just a few decades ago, had any organism been exposed to any hint of the radiation used for 5G cell phones. If, in fact, it does turn out to be harmful, not having conducted so much as one test of any kind should figure in the prosecution of the people who promoted 5G and who worked to suppress opposition to it. Thalidomide anyway went through a testing process. Pesticides don't. Yet, each time one is discovered to be carcinogenic or teratogenic, nobody is prosecuted. They count on that.
