I would like to disagree, but I won't claim to know all. 5G will use greater frequencies than 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, or microwave ovens. 5G antennae will have to be much closer to populate areas than even cell towers, I believe; the greater the frequency, at the same power, the shorter the distance the waves will propagate in our atmosphere. So 5G will require enough power, likely more than 4G, to be effective, and towers be placed closer than cell towers, maybe as close as long-range Wi-Fi access points?

I know certainly that microwave ovens use ~2.4 GHz, same as Wi-Fi, but take input power from 100s of Watts to 1 kW, while traditional Wi-Fi devices use 1s to 10s of Watts. As for output power, I would err on the safe side knowing little (ex: staying 5 feet away at least while the oven operates), and for Wi-Fi, I could care less. I also believe that cellular data uses 2.1 GHz and has to output 10s of Watts to reach cell towers. If that's true, I'm not keeping my phone next to my head all the time, and use Wi-Fi for calls when I'm at home (let's be honest, I'd forget to do this if I wasn't unemployed right now).

I would love for there to be a discussion about 5G, and assurance of it's safety, if it is. It very well could be. All I know is microwaves heat water, and it uses 2.4 GHz as does Wi-Fi, and we're made of water. In the end, this is /g/, so whatever.

>>9939999
I don't believe in any of those conspiracies, but I would want discussion about 5G and it's health effects. I want to be disproven because I have no medical or physics experience.

Microwave ovens emit hundreds to a thousand watts of microwave radiation in a small container that is reflective to microwaves. Cell phones emit like a couple watts. It's not a health issue.

Ok, first off, you completely overestimated the wifi power output. Wifi does not put out 1 to 10 watts for its signal output, it's far far less. I just pulled the data from my linksys router (a standard consumer router), and right now it's outputting 71 mW (that is 0.071 watt) for the entire signal. Contrast that to a microwave oven which as you said is usually about 1 kW. That means my wifi router has the output of 0.000071 of a typical microwave oven. Now, further contrast that a microwave oven takes that 1 kW and puts it into a compressed area of 1 cubic foot (to heat your water or food), whereas the wifi router takes 0.000071 kW and spreads it across several thousand cubic feet.

This is why the whole wifi is bad or 5G is bad is just a dumb meme. If you do the math on the 5G you'll find out that an average dental x-ray is going to be far more likely to give you an issue than if you sat on top of a 5G transmitter for 10 years straight.

>> No.9940044

If 5G really has you that concerned, there is a simple solution.

Just get a nice piece of tinfoil and fashion it into a hat. This is reflective to microwaves and should keep you safe from any ill effects you might believe it to have.

Wasn't there an anon posting a study all the time on /sci/ more than a year ago that showed non-ionizing radiation still caused problems?

While it is poor logic for me to say this, standing in full sunlight puts you at more risk of anything else cancer related.

The funny about this is that all these people complaining about cell phone towers don't say anything about weather radar and military search and track radars, which output a far greater amount of energy because they aren't meant to transmit data, but to very brightly illuminate anything they'd like to detect and at incredibly huge ranges.

it's basic quantum physics, anything below visible light, is simply not going to have the required energy to be ionizing radiation. You are essentially invisible to radiation at that frequency. And for the few atoms in your body that do by chance absorb some of those photons, it will simply be radiated as heat. And even then, that heat will be 1000x less intense than sitting next to the 60w bulb in your desk lamp.

Heh, you're a funny guy. For real, I'm no conspiracy theorist, I just have some skepticism is all. Even my over-estimations we're true/even if it mattered, if I shut off my phone or senpai's Wi-Fi, I'd be fucked (add that I'm tied to my phone). Living in a metropolitan area, radiowaves are everywhere.

>non-ionizing radiation
of course non-ionizing radiation can effect a cell, but the point is it won't eject electrons from any of the atoms as ionizing radiation would, only a negligible amount of heat would be produced from the interaction, and it's far less energy than any type of non-ionizing radiation that a cell would encounter from the visible spectrum

It is not fear mongering at all. Low frequency waves do interact with matter. However it is so insignificant that it will never harm you. Organisms have been bombarded with low frequency waves since life first started. If only schizophrenics were more afraid of UV waves. Health care cost would definitely go down.
