This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Non-ionizing radiation once again tested and once again shown to not corelate to cancer.
Well, obviously, you just have to put a sticker with a geometric pattern on it to turn the bad radiation into good radiation!
(I wish that was a joke, but you can actually buy those)
I worked for a guy that made and sold them. Still does actually. Cool guy, but I think he started to believe his own bullshit.
They always break rule 1: never get high on your own supplies.
Great so maybe now the conspiracy morons will shutup about this.
surely, since they're always up and up about scientific research and very receptive to it
If evidence would change their minds it already would have
To be fair, the evidence about a link between cell phone radiation and cancer has been inconclusive for quite some time. After all, a series of inconclusive or null results doesn't mean there is categorically no link -- it could equally mean that more research is needed.
That said, I do agree that if there were a casual link in this case then it would have made itself apparent by now, given the huge increase in cell phone usage over the past few decades.
A series of null results is all we have regarding the hypothesis that winged monkeys can fly out of my arse as well, or the hypothesis that the pyramids were built by those same winged monkeys in exchange for pastrami sandwiches from Canters. Beyond a certain point, absence of evidence can be construed as evidence of absence, particularly when the test is specifically meant to detect a particular phenomenon.
Seems like most of them moved on to vaccines, election tampering, and flat earth. Other than the odd blurb about 5G (ignoring older generations and WiFi), I barely hear at all about cell phones causing cancer anymore. Used to be all over Reddit.
Dream on, mate.
I've known people with basic scientific educations who still refuse to accept the fact that a few milliwatts of RF energy cannot ionize anything, let alone tweak your somatic DNA. If that did happen, broadcast radio and TV would be thousands of times more deadly, and I could make a death ray out of my home wifi box and a wok.
and I could make a death ray out of my home wifi box and a wok.
I mean, you could. Do you happen to have a small nuclear reactor and about 400l of liquid helium?
this is not how conspiracy theories work. these start and end with need for feeling special for "having" some secret knowledge. it's all elaborated nicely if you have an hour of unnecessary time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44
Special knowledge that comes from media that millions of people are exposed to, in a form that any anonymous asshole can easily fabricate. Really fucking esoteric.
No, they'll likely just attack the authors as being "in on it"
You forgot to add the /s in the end...
Knowing how their mind works, they’ll read some misleading headline, and then make it their “research” once again
Well, the signals aren't. But all those Nokias and Motorolas and Blackberries breaking down in landfills and turning into microplastics that infest our bodies... The jury is still out on that one.
Most of the microplastics in human bodies come from the wearing down of car and truck tires.
Also brake dust is carcinogenic ❤️❤️❤️
Nice
Yeah, I think microplatics are whats gonna kill us (well besides climate change).
It's just gonna keep building up in our systems and the environment until critacal mass.
It's going to kill poor folks. Rich people will have the better filter installations to keep micro plastics out.
Brain cancer, no. Brain rot, yes.
Beat me to it!
You can have the next quip.
I thought this was already very well known
Never hurts to have more and more evidence for something.
At some point we are wasting time and money just to keep shutting up the morons.
Yes, but no at the same time.
New testing methods, new 'ingredients' to test interactions with and so on require reconfirmation of 'known' science.
We've known earth isn't flat for awhile too but sometimes people apparently need reminders. Could use a new study on the failures of fascism as a government structure, but looks like we might need to learn the hard way again on that one.
Can you imagine if cellphones were linked to cancer and radiation, etc? Even if it was proven I don't think humans would be able to give them up at this point
We’re still trying to get people to quit smoking.
If phones killed you, we’d all just have to die
I paid a visit to Green Bank WV once out of an interest in astronomy. The giant radio telescopes are truly a sight to behold!
Less impressive were the people camped out nearby who saw the place as the promised land where they could cast off their tinfoil hats in the cellular-banned zone surrounding the complex.
I thought the headline said they were linked. My first reaction (which surprised me) was "oh well, not much to be done about that then eh". Glad I re-read it 😅
Nice
