Re : wireless phones potentially "frying" one's brain ................................... Two points : 1. Any study conducted around 1997 would (I believe) have lots of "AMPS" ("Advanced Mobile Phone System") (meaning -- analog). Someone on this message board ("engineer" (?)) once posted that the difference in power beaming out of a lousy AMPS cell phone's antenna, as compared to ... out of a "modern" digital only cell phone ... could be as much as a 300 fold difference. 2. Plus -- I think I remember reading once (here, on SI) that the energy levels coming out of cell phones are always LOWER that the amount necessary to break / sever / catalyze (?) a hydrogen bond (presumably in a biological molecule, such as one's DNA) ... Thus ... all of this "let's look into statistical "counts" of cancer" (and try to correlate it with cell phone usage) ... is just nonsense. --------------------------------------------------------------- Comments welcome (since I am only an "amateur scientist.")
