Nigga you can get fucked up from all frequencies of EMI along the electromagnetic spectrum. In the immediate results you can be burned if there's enough power on any frequency. Once you get to a high enough frequency you reach ionizing frequency which cause major problems.

The frequencies used for 5G (20-80GHz) have been around for awhile, the big concern is that there will be a proliferation of towers.

The long term effects of non Ionizing RF is dubious though.

Yeah it's not goign to be a frequency that will microwave your body and actually the proliferation of towers some people expect might lower radiation exposure because the signlas are more targeted

The concern isn't that you'll get microwaved anyway but people thinking that they can cause cancer

Which that type of radiation can't

Not in the traditional sense

To clarify I mean it in the sense of how you get radiation sickness and whatnot

Because the radiation is breaking down chemicals

You are correct

Mircowaves could at best fry you alive, which is why experimental directed microwave weapons by the Japanese were shit tier

Now I swear I saw a study once where they were showing long term exposure does cause cellular degeneration. I will have to see if I can find it.

If I remember correctly, it was something about people living under high voltage AC powerlines.

Was it a sizeable effect and large sample size

Also no rats being exposed with their whole body

Because that's shitty methodology

Don't power lines have even lower radiation emission than phones?

Was it like paranoid people who sued the people who made the power lines because I remember something like that

They're at 60Hz I believe.

And it's easily explained with the nocebo effect

I'd have to check

As for radio waves and 5G. The reason there is more towers is because those frequencies (EHF and UHF) suffer more attenuation. They bleed off energy faster. So unless you put more power behind the signal, you have to have more antennas in closer proximity.

I should mention I have relative living near multiple nuclear power plants and am not particularly concerned

Nuclear power and RF are completely different.

I know

I suppose alot of other people don't know.

It's just that it's even in the background radiation and our bodies are able to cope with it

They're a bit old so maybe it's not a good idea in the long run though

That's mostly due to our skin.

Higher frequencies are more likely to penetrate than reflect but once again they bleed energy.

At low power they'll simply disperse.

Not only the penetration but also because they're actually able to break up chemical bonds

Which is bad if it happens to DNA

Yes the ionizing levels, they're up there though. Once you get up high enough that penetrating quality starts to overcome the attenuation.

That looks like short circuiting more like

So it's an analog tower, normally the waves would travel harmlessly through the airwaves until they came upon a conductive antenna. From there they would reach a crystal or magnet and cause vibrations which would generate sound.

But here in this video when the stick touches it, there is enough power to excite the molecules in the stick which causes molecular vibration. That vibration causes the generation of friction (heat) and the movement of the surrounding air molecules which is the sound we are hearing.

Hence why we can hear the radio station through the stick

I think it looks pretty fake

I'm pretty sure they just had a radio or whatever somewhere else and turned it on when touching

It actually makes compete sense.

We mostly use digital signals now, frequency modulation is an example. Digital signals requires a computer to translate the data into something understandable.
