Hello,


Just found on the Web, an article about the latest Mobile Phone scandal.
The latest thing is about raising the frequency the phones use to the point it can cause illness to Humans !!!.
Not just harmful to us - - but also to animals, plants and even TREES !!!!!.
Have a little search for details on the Web !!!!!!!!!!!!!.

The problem with a web search is knowing which "facts" are real and which are made up conspiracy theories. I don't think that there is any actual scientific data showing that 5G is harmful, although I am sure that there are plenty of sites claiming this but with no real facts just copies of other made up sites. Just like those that have been claiming that earlier mobile phones are giving everyone cancer although actual research does not show this.

Just as watching to much TV gives you square eyeballs

Just as watching to much TV gives you square eyeballs 

It would be 16:9 eyeballs now.

Much "factual" TV is aimed at the attention level of an average 9 year old from the '50's.  Watch too much of it, that is where you end up.  Of course, the "factual" TV is in competition with light entertainment, which has long been searching relentlessly for the lowest possible denomnator.  Just when you think they have lowered the bar as far as it is possible to go, someone comes around with a shovel to dig underneath it.
Has anybody ever mentioned that it is possible that conspiracy theorists are actually paid by governments to peddle duff information so that the real information, when it eventually comes out, doesn't look as bad?


The brain-frying properties of radio waves have been warned about for many years, but the power levels coming from handheld equipment are harmless in as much as they are within common background radiation that has been around since the dawn of time.  Standing too close to a central transmitter is, of course, another story altogether.

This in itself looks like a conspiracy theory, Malcolm. As regards your point about a search for the lowest common denominator, I see that the dreadful dancing program is now well in excess of two hours on a Saturday, with subsequent "spin-offs" every day for the following week. It's clearly not just good things that you can have too much of. Bring back Peter West and Judith Chalmers, I say!

Judith Chalmers, anyway.
My fond memory there is a travel program that she was involved in.  The subject was an action holiday learning about dinghy sailing in Scotland.  She was doing her thing standing by the loch, inside a waterproof, under a brolly, with the rain heaving straight down.  Not a breath of wind.  Dinghys out on the loch, sitting on the reflections of their soggy sails.  You could just hear the crews chanting "Sailing is FUN.......Sailing is FUN".  I will never know if they convinced themselves.
Last couple of Saturdays I've been watching Bettany Hughes exploring the Nile.  Education and entertainment combined.

The same sort of theory comes out every time a new technology comes out.

5G actually operates at a higher wavelength than existing mobile phone technology. In theory it should be harder for those waves to have any effect on the human body as it would find it harder for the signals to pass through the skin and tissue etc.

I saw the earlier broadcasts, even more interesting when you have visited many of the places shown. Egypt is amazing. (But some people are in denial.... )

I think a lot of current TV is dumbed down because the people who make it are a bit dumbed down and ignorant themselves. Probably do all their research on the Internet which although immensely useful is not to be trusted as a single source of information, especially as much incorrect information is requoted and tends to become the standard reference even when it is competely wrong!

Many people are incrediby ignorant and gullible as proved by comments on You Tube videos. I was looking at some photos of the Bismarck wreck the other day and there were comments asking whether people in internal compartments were still alive when it hit the bottom. They obviously have no conception of the pressures involved.

Higher frequency not wavelength surley ...

imho - higher frequency often needs more radiated power to have a similar operating distance as a lower frequency due to attenuation - so do the 5G devices have a higher radiated power than there '#G' mates?

I doubt if the radiated power is much higher, what they are doing is using more base stations to allow for the shorter range. They are talking about aerials fitted to lamposts and buildings instead of the larger aerials used by 4G and below.

If they keep pumping more and more radiated energy through the troposphere won't we all start to glow and throb ?
