AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the impact of electromagnetic radiation from communication devices like Wi-Fi, cell phones, and high voltage power lines on human health. Research indicates that there are no known short-term or long-term health effects from this radiation, as its energy is insufficient to break chemical bonds or affect DNA and RNA. A referenced study from the NCBI supports these findings, reinforcing the consensus that electromagnetic phenomena from these technologies do not pose a health risk. The conversation concludes with a sense of closure on the topic.

TL;DR Summary
Effects of electromagnetic radiation.
I've been thinking and researching recently about the effect on human health by electromagnetic radiation created by communication devices such as wifi, cell phones, cell phone transmission towers and high voltage power lines

What do you guys think about the energy of electromagnetic radiation produced by the above technology?
and the effect on human health by electromagnetic radiation created by the above?

There’s a lot of research done on this very topic that is accessible online.

The bottom line is that there is no short term or long term effects that we know of.

Basically, the energy of these electromagnetic phenomena is not strong enough to break chemical bonds and consequently not strong enough to affect DNA or RNA in the body.

Heres one study from the NCBI

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
