The following from Mother Nature Network (mnn.com) sure explains a lot, including why there are so many zombies at large in the world today. So, don’t sleep next to your cell phone or Internet hot spot, okay?
“Five ninth-grade young women from Denmark recently created a science experiment that is causing a stir in the scientific community.
It started with an observation and a question. The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day. They wanted to test the effect of a cellphone’s radiation on humans, but their school, Hjallerup School in Denmark, did not have the equipment to handle such an experiment. So the girls designed an experiment that would test the effect of cellphone radiation on a plant instead.
The students placed six trays filled with Lepidium sativum, a type of garden cress into a room without radiation, and six trays of the seeds into another room next to two routers that according to the girls calculations, emitted about the same type of radiation as an ordinary cellphone.
Over the next 12 days, the girls observed, measured, weighed and photographed their results. Although by the end of the experiment the results were blatantly obvious — the cress seeds placed near the router had not grown. Many of them were completely dead. While the cress seeds planted in the other room, away from the routers, thrived.
The experiment earned the girls (pictured below) top honors in a regional science competition and the interest of scientists around the world.”
Seeds grown away from Wi-Fi router and those next to he router! Yikes!
“Yikes” is right! I constantly listen to music on my cell phone and usually tuck my phone into my shirt. Rethinking this….
Me too!
No more sleeping with my phone next to the bed! Will also move my hot spot away from where I sit. Can’t wait to see the man purse
