I am not an expert in this field and I didn’t sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but...

Do all of these towers going up have any effect us? Or do all of these signals or waves kind of fall within the spectrum of what the Sun gives us on a daily basis?

I know antennas can get hot when transmitting on some radios. Is that the same as doing drain bramage? I don’t know.

Cell phones stuck to the head for hours a day may or may not be bad for you. I think the jury is still out on that just because of the short time people have been attached at the ear to cell phones.

I know there is not enough evidence to conclude these electronic devices are doing anything bad, but, I sure feel better in the open air where there are no towers to see. Maybe that is just visually better to me.

Microwaves are nothing but extremely high frequency radio waves. Frequencies that cause water molecules to vibrate, thus cooking food. Most Radio waves are harmless, plus, even the ones that can cook you need to be operating at a certain power in order to actually harm you.

If these kids were being cooked by microwaves they would not get better over the weekend, the damage would be permanent.

EVERYONE knows THAT! So if you “don’t know” then it’s prolly dain bramage already happening in your dain.

You’d better see a rocket scientist right away.

Or is it brain surgeon?

Hell, I don’t know.

It’s the old inverse square law- double the distance from the source and your exposure is reduced by 75%. Yes, radio waves in the band used by WiFi an mobile phones can be harmful, but if you’re close enough to be harmed you’ll jump away because of the heat. In the case of WiFi routers, you would have to be within a couple of inches from the transmitter to feel any effect at all.

I don't know too much about wi-fi and celphone frequencies, but I do know that I have experienced chest pains when driving under high-voltage power lines. It happened once by a transformer station, too. Not a pleasant experience. That said, I'd be curious as to how much research has been done on heart and brain electrical impulses around wireless and other such kinds of electromagnetic waves. The electrics of the heart can become erratic over time, making necessary the use of a pacemaker. The electrical impulses of schizophrenics are different than those of normal people, if the machine with the wavy lines is any indicator.

There may be people who are more sensitive to such things than others. Maybe it has to do with triangulation, or the combination of waves to form a stronger wave (think rogue waves in the ocean, which come out of nowhere and can sink cargo ships). I just know what I've felt, when I've felt it, and where.
