So what?
This is why so what.
We humans like to build things and stretch the limits on what we do with stuff.
So, we build things like metal buildings with flat surfaces that act like mirrors that reflect heat, light, radio waves and reflections of ourself.
(Guess where I'm going here.)
We also make things that emit waves: sound waves, electromagnetic waves
and hand waves.
We use cell phones, TV's, radios, garage door openers, microwave ovens and transmission towers for heating food or for communication; even megaphones so we can be heard. We use electricity that we get from high voltage wires, transformers on poles, and wiring in our house. We then sit in front of TV's and computer screens and X-boxes for hours in an environment where we are bombarded with electromagnetic waves of all frequencies.
The electromagnetic radiation we expose ourselves to is much, much higher than natural.
You say... So what? I don't feel anything.
This is why so what......
Electromagnetic radiation of the right frequency and intensity can break chemical bonds. You know, the bonds that hold us together.
Now the radiation we are exposed to from a TV, for example, is not much. The intensity isn't strong enough to do much damage to our tissue.
Now, here is my BUT........ (not BUTT or anterior sit down pad like me.)
We have all kinds of other low intensity emitters all around us... which are bombarding use from all directions.
This can be a problem. Here's why. Waves cross each other and there are points where they cancel each other out and others points where they augment each other. (Drop three stones into a smooth as glass pond and watch the ripples. Where the ripples intersect, there are bumps, higher points in the water... = constructive interference.) Then there are troughs = destructive interference.
Note: Not the best illustration on purpose.
Where the lines cross, the intensity of the electromotive force at the same frequency (or multiples of the frequency) is either augmented or diminished. If the frequencies are high enough and augmented, these points can break chemical bonds or cause a chemical reaction to take place. Sunlight's UV = Skin cancer, another frequency = Vitamin D.
I picture these spots of constructive interference as "Sparklies".
If we consider our human made electromagnetic waves come from above at all angles, are reflected from all angles and sides... I can visualize some pretty hot hot spots.
If these hot spots cause an unnatural chemical reaction in our body, or splits a molecule apart, two scenarios can exist. Our immune system can recognize the new molecule as unfriendly and deal with it accordingly, or not recognize it because it mimics something that is supposed to be in our body. It is these unrecognized molecules that can wreak havoc on our bodily processes.
So, there is no telling what can be manifested out of the billions of simultaneous reactions going on at one time, especially when we continue to increase the amount of electromagnetic disturbances into our environment. All it would take is one or two genes to be modified slightly where they are now the blueprint for a new/different gene to be replicated in our body. Tumors, modified hormones, modified enzymes, learning disabilities, ... NO TELLING, anything can happen (Maybe that's why I am the way I am). There is an equal chance that these changes are beneficial.
I've always distrusted studies that did not consider side effects. For instance, a study could be to determine if microwaves cause cancer. So rats are exposed to microwaves and no cancer occurs and it is declared that microwaves don't cause cancer. Based on these incomplete studies, the FCC or other regulating agency will give the go-ahead for a new electronic communication device (Smart Meters?) without any concern that we will get cancer, but nothing is said about our future children having three legs and one arm due to the extra radiation, because it wasn't looked for. (Thalidomide was not studied for birth defects, the intelligence of the rats was not studied after fed aspartame. Aspartame was approved because the rats didn't die.) Dogs love antifreeze, tastes good, but it gives them an agonizing death. Search term: aspartame conspiracy
I get poo-pooed by those telling me what I'm saying here is B.S. (Bachelor of Science?).
I get references that are statements made by major medical researchers or government agencies, of just plain opinions without any specific reasons. They say there is no data that links, let's say aspartame, to any of the claims made by people. However, there is no real science to explain the physics, chemistry (same thing as physics, to me.) behind their statements. They talk about "population studies" that just use statistics which can only describe the effects of the variables studied. Statistics do not cover all possibilities, physics cannot predict three legs and one arm, but it can show that there can be an almost infinite number of possibilities that something can go wrong. Busting molecules apart is real, what the molecules will do cannot be determined except in the simplest systems. The main active ingredients are wonderful for your health, but the preservative will kill you. (And Surprise! The placebo effect is about as good as the treatment.)
