I repaired microwave ovens and CRT displays for 40 years, I would have died if not for the tin foil hat that I wore, my customers thought it was a fashion statement.
Ever since October 4th emergency preparedness test on cell phones I have been wanting to make this hat. How do you make it out of regular aluminum foil
@@terryvincent3450that's funny 🤣
God bless you bro I've been practicing the same method, last night almighty Oprah appeared in a dream to me with clear instructions on how to "cleanse" the world from certain species and why it's fundamental to use a tinfoil hat.
This must be satire
@@coxwaganMake sure it’s Reynolds brand. No Great Value or generic shit.
Many people don't know that light is also a type of electromagnetic radiation.
Don’t solar panels generate a lot of radiation? Does it come into your home?
@@inspectorvoid no
@@inspectorvoidever get a sun burn? How do you stop it, with clothing or suncream, walls and a roof will stop it.
FYI your body creates radiation. A fire is radiation. Should we not cook meat then?
Literally *EVERYTHING* emits electromagnetic radiation. If it has a temperature, it emits electromagnetic radiation. You emit it. Your shoes emit it. Air emits it.
Look up Blackbody Radiation on Wikipedia. The question of it being harmful is entirely a matter of degree.
@@RandomUser2401 I think they're just making a joke about solar panels generating electricity
Watching this on my iPhone 12
Radiation is a lot more complicated than you make it out to be but in general phones are safe since there is no reason to have for example a xray emitter inside. The concerning part about this whole story is the way the government seemed to only be concerned about watts per kg which is only one of several metrics that can determine how dangerous radiation can be.
Yeah, its more complicated than that, but the explanation does really simplify the difference between a phone and a nuclear reactor.
Then and than is more complicated., They sound alike.. just like would of and could of which should've been would have or would've.. so complicated
The "watts per kg" is what matters. This is how the industry captures the possibility of tissue heating as laid out in the standards for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
Yeh, leave it to politicians to be dumb and ignore the actual science. The ones who praise "the science" and use selecr bits they call "the science" to brow beat others are the worst imho. It's the same old bible bashing, they just picked a different headline.
What exactly is your reasoning here ? Of course phones don‘t have xray emitters, but that‘s not the point here is it ?
Love you dude. PLZ continue your work!!!! THANK YOU for every single video
Funny thing is smartphone usage is so widespread, there is no more a "control group" they will need to pay some people very heft sums to stay in isolation for long years to compare their data to their counterparts.
Where do I sign up?😂
Bro doesn't know about Russian farmers 😂
@@GhostSamaritaneven farmers in dirt poor countries are slowly getting smartphones.
A cheap smartphone in those countries is about $40-60. Still expensive for them but only getting cheaper.
i've thought about putting twin rats outside, one in a faraday cage and one in a regular cage with some wifi device running next to it, to see which dies first
@@shoraz That's like one month's salary in those places.
Facebook moms are gonna have a field day with this video.
In the 1990's I worked in video duplication. We had an electro magnetic tape eraser. We used to joke about how the store guys should check their privates for radiation. One day someone came in and tested it. The company turned it off the next day.
Yeah lol.. look at the study that was like.. nah bro need more study cant confirm..
Exposure was more than 20 years ago... data is from people who already developed cancers.. umm that's not how reality works you can't look at the result and assume how it happened when there isn't determinism.. no causal data exists ! if you had chips in you or were even just in a control study with constant data collection, probability and statistical significance tells you EXACTLY what is going on.
Similar to how "waves" of energy/matter confuse people.. "the simulation" render things we weren't tracking, WHEN you look; why waste compute, do it JIT on demand. Post cancer and causal analysis doesn't give much insight for the same reason.. the past is uncertain. All this cosmological and physics drama is because of context. Requesting data about the distant stars, requests data from a past that wasn't ever rendered. So the system makes up whatever fits.. until it didn't. We asked, we got. Backwards thinking is just.. well backwards thinking.. lol
So frustrating how easy the logic is yet bad ideas get perpetuated in the mainstream. When you just add one abstraction, a frame of reference of compute.. it is mind blowing how many previously difficult things become stupidly simple. Not easy to get there, but it will be one day, guarantee it.. we will agree the universe is just data, there is more to us than the data streams we have from these diverse complex machines that we control.. these biological machines have flexible rules and the mind leads.. the body can change to support your will. Neuroplasticity from this perspective is obvious... a software construct for data sieving based on what you care about, what you pay attention to.. brain chemistry for hyper awareness.. well duh
Well atleast they turned it off, they could have lied and just said there was no danger
Did anyone go on to have kids?
@@AlphaGeekgirl Or kids with two heads.
@@YouChwb two tape heads!
Thanks for the episode. I remember in the 90's this discussion was much more on the news, then suddenly, we heard nothing anymore. Quite a surprise it raised again.
What is weird is that the phone is 3 years old at this point, makes me wonder why ban it now? How much was Apple still selling it even?
They ordered to stop selling and to call back all the sold units
What have entered the market and being solde now is not the same phone! components change, but more importantly software changes! The government does random spot test to see if a product is compliant, this I-phone was part of that.
@@sparqqlingtrue
Pretty sure all scamsung phones are same too😂
Yeah, but why not test the phones before they go to market and not 3 years later... there is no test for the iphone 14 and 15
@@GianlucaAiello
Thanks for openly covering this topic and in detailed explanation❤
Never been this early on a cold fusion video. 😊 I absolutely love your videos
Fun fact: a distance of a few centimeters between the phome and the head is considered for the legal measurment of phone radiation energy on the brain.
Of course we all hold our phones at a secure distance from our heads when calling 😅
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:41 📱 Radiation from smartphones is electromagnetic and falls in the nonionizing category, not having enough energy to cause DNA damage or cancer.
02:51 ⚠️ Ionizing radiation (like X-rays) with higher frequencies and energy levels can damage DNA and increase cancer risk, but smartphones emit nonionizing radiation.
05:13 🧪 Studies show inconsistent correlations between cell phone use and brain tumors; some studies suggest a link, but most indicate no direct association.
06:21 🧪 Largest control study suggests no significant increase in brain or nervous system cancers due to mobile phone use, but findings remain inconclusive due to various factors.
08:54 ⚡ The iPhone 12 exceeded the safe radiation limit set by France, prompting a ban based on principle, although the excess radiation was deemed unlikely to cause harm due to its low magnitude.

Thanks you for sharing this
Lots of info missing Gogo… why France measurament was different from EU (distance), why the phone emits radiation (to connect to cellular lines), what’s the benefit of higher radiation (better signal), how a software update can fix hardware problem, and so on :/
software may change the level of power that is used by the hardware.
Wifi and mobile are also not the same frequencies and it's also good to mention that even if you have no phone at all in your house, but your neighbours do, you still get "hit" by mobile radio waves (just not as concentrated). 10 minutes is never enough, heck, 2 hours wouldn't be enough to fully cover all the aspects of what, amount and how.
I have been in the telecom industry for over 10 years. Thanks Dagogo for making this factual video. Many people are misinformed about radiation.
There is a reason why a whole country is banning 5g, and its about the health concerns... #italy
Maybe thats because telecom corporations wont answer any questions about their installations specifications
I’m halfway into this video and I realize this is all highschool stuff everyone must have forgotten. I think I’ve learned about different radiations and amplitude vs freq stuff in at least 7 different college classes in enough detail to deduce how not dangerous most radiation is
I slept through school. Best sleep i had were in school. Lol
Ur saying it’s high school stuff then talking about what u learned in college. I didn’t learn shit about radiation in highschool. We just learn how to solve quadratics. And I don’t even remember what a quadratic is.
@@GM14218 we went over it in pre ap physics, and pre ap chemistry 1 in high school. I know you’re taught that diff freqs of radiation make up the light spectrum. My fiancé taught 5th grade math and still learned that much
I work with kids of 20+ year in a hotel, they can't tell you how many letters there are in their own alphabet ( they are all expats from different countries of Europe), and they are proud of it. People are in fact getting dumber.
how does the knowledge from school would be in any way sufficient, to know wehter it is dangerous or not? Only thing we ever learned was difference between ionizing and non ionizing and that after a certain power input, you will start to heat up. If the heat is too much, of course that will cause problems and possible make long lasting damage or kill you.
But we never learned anything about any other potential effects. Humans and all living things are electrical beings. All our nerves use electricity to transmit signals to and from the brain. In the mitochondria we even use the effect known from HHO cells, where an electron that travels when Hydrogen and Oxygen react to water, is used to create energy in form of ATP, which is the most important Thing that happens in our Bodys all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of EMF or radiation, ionizing or non ionizing, is able to mess with something we don't even know of. School is not enough. Heck science until today doesn't even know it is truly 100% save
Thank you for contextualizing this.
I bought new phone and thought it was very strange that in the box it came with a paper full of warnings about radiation exposure. It said not to sleep with the device, keep it in your pocket for long periods, keep it away from other devices such as TVs and microwaves, and turn it off when not in use. *Why would it give me these warnings if it was safe?*
Thank you, Dagogo, for shedding light on these issues with your insightful analysis. However, I have some reservations about these governing bodies. I believe they could obtain device usage data from the manufacturers and ISPs to address some of the variables they encountered in the study. This could lead to more definitive findings, but perhaps we are not meant to know. Just my own opinion, based on device usage statistics that I have seen in other studies.
It’s science that’s been known about for easily half a century. There’s no risk. The energy levels aren’t high enough to do anything. This video is trash promoting the idea that’s there’s doubt. There is no doubt, it doesn’t affect you in any way.
Interesting theory. While I’m not at all trying to counter what you’re saying, as it at least sounds perfectly plausible, I just wanna stop by with a question of my own- don’t the ISPs, as well as the manufacturers you mentioned also qualify for the definition of governing bodies? Rarely is there seldom a better comparison to be made to governments of today..especially if we agree on the universally painful amounts of bureaucracy involved with both.. they all qualify under the title of a governing body, both exist to maximize profits well beyond their own abilities and perspectives in which it is safe to do so. What do you think?
@@saygoodnighttoghosts I honestly could not disagree with any of your statements, because you are correct. They way that they influence and or shape change with the use of their profits in order to secure more profits. It is indeed a fascinating/unusual method that unfolds with time. I was so intrigued that France made the decision based on principle. I would enjoy seeing more countries operate in that manner.
Studies only demonstrate bias, superstition, and bad math. That is why they often conflict with each other.
Problem is there needs to be blinded experiments with tightly controlled variables to eliminate those influences on the data. Tape a rat to an i12 for a decade while it plays candy crush and see what happens (I'm kidding of course).
Remember that Statistical Significance just means there’s just a low probability that the result comes from random chance happening to give a certain result. Meaning that if there are a lot of studies about something with no correlation, odds are that at least one study will, by random chance, show a small correlation that isn’t actually there.
Also obligatory, “correlation doesn’t equal causation,” and I’m hoping these studies are factoring out the general increase in cancer rates caused by the increase in other carcinogens, for the same reason it would be dumb to assume the correlation between Marvel movies and cancer is meaningful.
It's like that guy who called the FAA describing a plane crash he dreamed about, which happened a few hours later pretty much exactly how he said it would. Dr. Strange ain't real, but with billions of people dreaming about various things someone out there will "predict" the future by sheer random chance.
Look at vaccine and drug trials, where some in the placebo group have symptoms, despite not being given anything. That point about chance really needs to be brought out more with these studies.
Thank you so much for making this video. It may be basic information to a lot of people but I plan on showing this to my dad who thinks phones and 5G are causing worse issues than they actually are. The way you present the information is precisely the way healthy skepticism should be addressed: here's some information, here are the potential biases, here is the next related question. Fantastic stuff.
I think we use phones because the benefit we get from it is larger than the harm it might cause. Even if we'd on average die two years earlier. We are constantly discovering new things so there's no way at all to entirely rule out the possibility that phones are harmless
*harmful
I like the honest and non clickbaity way you do things, in terms of Radiation I think you have to get that there is a safe limit to it and in a wider sense the people investigating it are the best at what they do. I also agree with the difficulty in analysing any potential links between mobile phones and tumours due to the range of outside factors, such as the simple idea that someone eating a banana everyday will consume more radiation or if someone has had an x-ray etc.
Tim Cook: "Radiation, Smaydiation, just buy our phones and give me all your money!!""
Hi bro I really enjoying your video ❤
Great insights here cold fusion. What an odd ban.
Just strange how people can’t understand the difference between ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
New to me.
Wait till people find out that they are themselves radioactive as is all life. Or that sunlight is radio active. Or that fire is pure radiation.
Agree, remember the chaos when 5g was "released"?
@@peetsnort you didnt go to school?
I'm more baffled by the people who don't understand Einstein field equations. Like who doesn't study physics?
I work in this field and also teach RF at the University level. Great job pointing our the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. None of the frequencies used for RF Communications have enough energy to ionize an electron so, in general, the only way they can hurt the body is though heading cells (like a microwave oven does) and these devices generally do not generate enough power to do that. Your biggest physical risk from a phone is probably hearing damage.
Eh I bet you could stab a lithium battery and do some good harm
I’m am engineer working with RF systems. I concur. There is so much misinformation out on how dangerous microwaves from communication devices that lead to some unfounded conspiracy theories. It’s amazing how ppl in technology’s world know so little about it.
Starting back in the 1980s, We employees of Bell Telephone Laboratories developed and still develope the world's mobile phone systems in Laboratories that have the electronic equipment running over 80 cell towers and radiating in just one big room. I spent almost every day in these labs running tests and maintaining them. - I'm now over 70 and still don't have any cancer.
you're a badass and i want to know more about your time at bell labs!!
It's so reassuring and trustworthy when FDA or CDC says "we believe", lol
Right?! We believe or we know. huge difference imo
Well they have to say "we believe" because like it was stated earlier in the video that evidence and research so far has been inconclusive. They can't say "we know" because well no one really knows 100%. They're just like 99% sure it doesn't cause cancer because there's basically been no proof of it causing anything.
Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
Many people no longer hold phones to their heads but use their phone's speaker instead. So this is now much less of an issue than in the past...
you are so amazing. I have learnt a lot from you, thank you so much!!!
In general 1c in a limb in a specific area doesn't sound great when you're talking about holding the phone to your head. 1c makes a big difference to how you feel
Anyway I'm not particularly worried
I actually done a assignment on this in high school 3-4 years ago, they don’t emit anywhere near enough in the wavelength to do any damage, it’s pretty safe in the spectrum compared to other things.
Hmmm. Interesting yet there’s an increasing rhetoric that everything is toxic and can harm you. I saw an Instagram post saying smartphone radiation are correlated to tumors and cancer and several comments push this narrative hard and try to disprove the possible truth. I’m tired of the constant fear mongering and extreme pushback on non problematic things.
Roman empire used lead solder knowing it would be harmful to people. People need to scrutinize all aspects of items that are present in their environment because it is your own best interest.
great episode!
More episodes on the topic of public health, please :)
"Was" is twice in the title -- 2nd "was" is redundant ... here before it's fixed
He needs the “was” for the algorithms to pick it up. Otherwise the grammar police would be out of work .
@@chrisdoe6890 you got a point there mate -- lol unfortunately not the grammar police , just happened to wanna be one of those people because the opportunity arose 😭 have a great day my guy
One thing I learned about EMR during my studies is that most people know enough about it to be a very effective idiot.
What about the phone earbuds? I have the one that hangs around my neck about 10 hours a day. Now, I am concerned.
It's highly cancerous. Research about it.
I would not hang around my neck as you say 10 hours 😮😮
the radiation isn't a danger with wifi/bluetooth etc. the real problem with earbuds (in general) is that prolonged use can trap earwax which can cause permanent hearing loss if left untreated. i would recommend over ear headphones if you wear them all day
Nothing about them is dangerous to you. It’s non-ionizing and doesn’t affect you.
The energy in bluetooth earbuds is just about the lowest you will be exposed to in your life. Walking outside in the sun for 5 minutes will expose your head and ears to far more radiation than from the bluetooth earbuds in a 10 hour day. That is why bluetooth range is so short (around 20 to 60 feet), while the radiation from the sun has traveled across over 92 million miles of space and all the way through our atmosphere to reach you.
I used to have my phone next to my head, with a YT playlist going while I fell asleep and after a couple of weeks I would always have my sleep interrupted multiple times a night by a wet pillow from sweating a lot at first and later including headaches... Now 2 months in. I moved my phone from next to my pillow to across the room and 2 days after that, I slept like I always did before. (No headache, not sweating)
It's not related to the type of content playing, because I've had rainforest rain sounds on in the background for years at tgat point. Only the phone next to the pillow was what changed. For me it definitely had some effect in some way.
Not an iPhone btw, a Samsung S21U.
Following security limits is definitely an appropriate approach, because they exist to be respected. I really appreciate the fact that the film itself shows the effort of people involved and is genuinely satisfying to watch. Thank you for this engaging piece of film.
Very informative
Hey man, did you vhange your microsphone since the last 2 videos? Sound quality is worse :/
Brilliant is everywhere! Great! Need more gold!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video.. it was very informative. I see you have done a lot of study on the subject. I am very skeptical on the data. A lot of the "studies" are funded but the phone companies and their supporters. sadly, I have very little trust is them as time after time they had money and profits in mind. It is essentially the sad truth
Thank You !
You can't split radiation into "particle radiation" and "electromagnetic radiation". Electromagnetic radiation is a form of particle radiation where the particle is the photon. Of course, the point of the video is that phones do not emit dangerous radiation. This is very much true, as ALL the photons that come out of a phone have a million times too little energy to harm DNA or otherwise interfere with the chemistry of your body.
I have a 2020 Motorola Edge, and this phone is supposedly higher than most. I never take calls against my head. It's usually on speaker, or aux mic.
Hey, Dagogo, can we have the title of your track used as the outro for this video? Thanks.
I read a report that people in poor reception areas recieve up to 10 times the radiation, due to their phone having to "shout" in order to be heard by the nearest tower; shame that aspect is missing from the video
I remember when I bought my earlier phones in the early 2000s, there were SAR values mentioned on the spec sheets to check on the phone's safety ratings.
I don't see SAR even after Google searching nowadays
In Europe you can still easily find the SAR values of phones being sold. It's still mandatory because it is the same as the amount of W/kg absorbed and there's a legal limit.
If we dial *#07# in the dialer in my country we get the Sar value, don't know if it's the same elsewhere
@@Chin-ny4kj you're right! It works
On an iPhone go to: general>legal and regulatory>RF Exposure. The RF exposure report for your iPhone model is linked at the bottom. Cheers
had exchange my 12 pro as the reception is bad since the radiation fix update... 1 bar where i had 3... way to make market
Some questions that need some further research is whether or not having your personal hotspot activated throughout the day can cause any further impact. Most young people who are on the go, have their hotspot activated which is shooting 2.4 and 5Ghz frequencies straight out the phone and if often in close proximity to the owner and others in the same room. Does leaving your Wi-Fi switched do anything? What about Bluetooth and Bluetooth connected devices like Air Pods transmitting radio frequencies from ear to ear through your head? NFC? What about all the following in unison? What about sleeping with your phone really close to you? Should it be a few meters away from you? What about 4G or LTE vs 5G? Should phones have a radiation warning sensor that alerts you when your phone is emitting too much based upon how you use it? This already happens for volume, this has to be next. Thoughts?
Can you do a video about wireless ear buds and the risks they may or may not pose?
No
Yes
The studies need to differentiate between using the phone in your hand, or using it next to your ear. Everyone uses their phones all the time now but rarely actually put it next to their ear to talk.
About the "studies": You always have to start with who funded the study!
It's a must!
Thanks Dagogo! 👍💪✌
I would expect heating to occur instantly if the power from the iPhone is sufficient but the power level its putting out would not bother me, 200w from the two way radio antenna on my car hurts however, that's an instant burn if you touch it!
I work for a major corporation responsible for producing antennas, base stations, network controllers and other stuff needed to run a mobile phone network. We have various labs that experiment with radio equipment in various versions (3G, 4G, 5G etc)... people literally soak this "super dangerous" radiation here when walking next to a rack with hundreds of phones antennas connected to live radio equipment. The radiation levels are waaaaay above 4W/kg. Throughout the 30 years on the market or so, there hasn't been any increase in cancer rates observed among the thousands of employees vs. the statistical norm of people not working with this stuff. These power level norms are paranoid - that is it.
A funny bit, a friend of mine once stood in front of an array of high powered radio transmitters and someone turned it on. Now, you really shouldn't stand directly in front of those... He said he felt like there was an "invisible wind flowing through him". :) A fun experience... no cancer though (yes, I know, a single example isn't science).
Not satisfied with research results. There are no studies on effects living tissue. There isn't only heating effect. Now who funded studies you mentioned? Thanks for great video as always.
FDA: “we *believe* the current safety levels for cell phones are acceptable”.
It always concerns me when science asks us to fall back to a belief system. The statement should be read as - “your guess is as good as ours, but here is what we believe”.
Everytime someone bring up a study or question, it's said that "There is inadequate data to neither support nor deny the claim", or "While multiple studies have shown correlations, there is no scientific consensus supporting the hypothesis", or "Not enough time has elapsed to deny or support this hypothesis".
The CDC, FDA, WHO, AHA, and NIH are not wholly credible or accurate institutions most people should be basing thierpersonal health recommendations on, but they can be useful as general guides, and it's good to read and learn about the latest updates they provide.
It's best to secure reliable (non-partisan or corpoately-biased) data on your own, which means spending a bit of money to have a research study done, or conducting on yourself. Then, conpare your findings.
Good video, only caveat is the reliance on FDA and FCC statements, as these organisations are no longer trustworthy or independent and are more often than not likely to issue statements in favour of highly influential and profitable industries.
No authority or company in Sweden has told me anything about how 5G, 4G LTE or smart meters work. They couldnt tell me anything at all. The cables on 5G/4G LTE towers are usually one or two 20mm cables between the ground and the utility box. Houses are usually powered by one 20mm cable. And houses run on 230 volts, usually the lowest grid. So most likely at least between 230-460 volts and the same ampherage for these installations.
Smart meters have no radiation safety regulations, i know this because i read 114 pages of official documentation.
Thanks!
Car phone warehouse used to tell you how much radiation (sars) their phones emitted in their catalogues during early 2000s.
It’s always a great day when coldfusion posts
Hey ColdFusion!
damn, now my crazy Aunt who has been saying for years that phones are bad for you because of radiation feels vindicated.
She should spend 10 minutes with a high school level physics textbook then.
How about control groups, 1 were ppl keep the phone glued to their person day n night & 1 in a faraday bag used sparingly?
Good job
You're forgetting the most important thing. How many of these studies that have been done have some kind of funding from the makers of these phones and number two. Could you imagine the pandemonium if they came out and said cell phones hurt you? Not that people would stop using them. This kind of reminds me of back in the day when they used to say cigarettes didn't hurt you and you could smoke in hospitals. Doctors would smoke in there in offices even tell pregnant women it was okay to smoke. Meanwhile, the tobacco companies knew all along how bad it was I'm sure the same applies to a cell phone now. It's not likely nearly as bad as a cigarette, but it's still hurting you in the long run.
To think that this was the basis for my final year thesis at the University.
I’ll continue to use my iPhone 12 freely and focus on nutrition, exercise and socialisation to increase my general level of health.
Return it or trade in why risk it?
@@rico4you Because phones don't emit the type of radiation you need to cause cancer. Spend literally 10 minutes with a high school physics textbook.
@@yuchoob you should repeat High School. You have no idea what you are saying.
1:03 It already doesn't start well, if the point is to clear the confusion. Radiation is NOT a "type of energy" but a method of propagation of energy, through an electromagnetic wave, just as convection is through a fluid, conduction is via direct contact, etc.. Thus radiation always = electromagnetic. Now what's that you say? Well that's basically light, but any part of the whole spectrum, visible or not. So luminescence is a type of radiation. The associated risk is just a matter of exposure time * whether or not the wavelength emitted packs a lot of energy to damage the object referred to. For the latter, basically the longer the wavelength, the less danger as the wave has less chance of interacting with cells anyway, because of the difference in size. So the shorter the wavelength (UV > X-rays > Gamma rays), the higher the risk.
P.S.: visible light can also affect the body (which is why we can see each other, actually 😀) but the amount of energy it radiates is small enough (the wavelength is big enough) that your cells would die of natural death way before getting a chance to be damaged by it.
Risks of technology have been underestimated through the entire history. You just need to remember the discussions about Teflon and Dupont. The companies and the absolute majority of scientist claimed for decades everything would be ok. It wasn't! Meanwhile, the entire population of earth has been exposed to its dangers.
Dont all phones have a SAR value to know the radiation levels
The worst I ever heard regarding cell phone radiation is that it can make your ear hot due to microwaves. And that's only after being on the thing for long periods of time.
I don't really care if my ear gets hot due to microwaves or any other reason, but the funny thing is that IT DOES when talking more than 10 minutes without headphones. But this DOES NOT mean that is can cause any real harm when talking on the phone. A lot of people actually have this issue but they misinterpret this and they think that this can case real harm.
Gee, the FDA for many years said that smoking cigarettes was not bad for you too. It took many years for them to change there mind.
Does this include the 12 mini ?
Great video! Well if we as a community have decided certain limits we have to hold to the limits. So if you pass these limits then tough luck. Adjust or be banned. If limits are wrong, you have to proove they are wrong and set new limits by the society.
"Why was the iPhone 12 *was* banned in France"
Why did France make a fuss 3 years later about a now discontinued phone?
Shouldn't 5G and 6G be more concerning for public health?
Even non-ionizing radiation has biological effects and alters the function of voltage gated calcium channels. This is well documented, and we even use this in medicine to treat certain conditions. Just because it’s not ionizing doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have biological effects.
Can Dagogo become the next Allstate spokesman? I love his voice
I used to think people in positions of authority were smart but they don't even know basic physics😂😂💀 I taught my little sister a bit about physics and she knows the difference between ionising and non ionising radiation
I think this is incredibly dumb considering the iphone 12 just got discontinued lol
I absolutely love this channel!
Asbestos was used everywhere, studies were also inconclusives. When its economic weight decreased, studies reached a conclusion.
I used to keep my phone in my pants pocket but stopped. My leg constantly aches in that spot and if a phone is nearby it burns.
Could you do a video on the effects of wireless EarPods ?
It's basically the same conclusion. There is no real evidence of it causing any effects. But we do not know for sure. Bluetooth devices are in the same category as smartphones. Some studies have shown some interesting results but nothing conclusive. Correlation ≠ causation
what about living beside telecoms tower or high voltage power lines
How will a software patch fix radiation?
Can you make a video on the new ammonia engine?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry that much about it. I wouldn't hug any mobile atenna attached to a building or something like that but you only need to get a few meters away from it for the levels to drop rapidly, inverse-square law and all that.
The reason why a microwave is able to heat food is because the shape of the compartment makes the waves bounce around and the waves cross and the heat is generated where the waves peak. That is why theh have a spinning plate so that the food is heated more evenly.
Might want to edit that title
People complained certain iPhone 12 frequencies were bad or they had bad reception. Raising the power allowed to have better reception on the device
you got the microwave part wrong.
if not for the fact they work on the resonant frequency of water, they wouldn't be dependably cooking the food inside. that same reason is why that frequency works so damn well as a sonic weapon in riot control.
