Benefits of 5G
Terzibashjian · 2019-03-03 22:28
Okay so last night i had a few too many beers and passed out at my mates place. When i woke up i was terrified to find that i had slept next to his 5G router. But the weird thing was that i didnt have the usual headaches and nosebleeds that 5G induces in me. I didnt even have a hangover and felt like all the toxins in my body had been cleansed. I thought 5G was only evil.
Has anyone else experienced this?

low-power nonionising radiation has no effects on humans other than on our sensor organs designed to detect it assuming it's within the spectrum of visible light or high enough power to produce heat.

There are no real benefits to 5G unless you want ridiculously fast internet and tracking everywhere. The health effect won't be felt for another decade i would suspect.

Only because occupational exposure to radio waves has actually been linked to cancer. Nobody is claiming the "ebil gubmint is tryna kill us" just that sitting around a source of any kind of radiation (ionizing or non-ionizing) is not good for the body. Look at the effects of WIFI on sperm, I bet you are sitting near a router too.

It smells fishy when you try to just project some kind of personality flaw onto someone that simply isn't there. Either you have some kind of weird premonition against conspiracy theorists which I get, kind of, but still they are right sometimes or, and I know that this sounds ironic because you are making me think like a conspiracy theorist, you are a guy in cahoots with government with development of high frequency equipment that creates brain tumors or whatever and are pre-eminently trying to cover your ass with accusations of others.

nope. non-ionizing is fine. Sperm count is highly sensitive to rises in temperature, you could say that non-ionizing radiation raising your balls temperature by .1 C is causing drops in sperm count, but really it's the jeans and boxer briefs doing the most to drop sperm count. Non-ionizing radiation is basically light, are you saying light just hurts you? UV light does, but that's because it's ionizing radiation. If cellphones were causing harm we'd be seeing people's skin falling off and they'd be having seizures and radiation sickness.

Pulsed radiowave energy is bad for organic systems
>Millimeter waves are broadcast at frequencies between 30 and 300 gigahertz, compared to the bands below 6 GHz that were used for mobile devices in the past. They are called millimeter waves because they vary in length from 1 to 10 mm, compared to the radio waves that serve today’s smartphones, which measure tens of centimeters in length.
>Until now, only operators of satellites and radar systems used millimeter waves for real-world applications. Now, some cellular providers have begun to use them to send data between stationary points, such as two base stations. But using millimeter waves to connect mobile users with a nearby base station is an entirely new approach.
>There is one major drawback to millimeter waves, though—they can’t easily travel through buildings or obstacles and they can be absorbed by foliage and rain. That’s why 5G networks will likely augment traditional cellular towers with another new technology, called small cells.
The small cells technology is basically the use of thousands of network wide relays that re-transmit radiowaves. The downside is that with the frequencies provided, abortion by the body is pretty much guaranteed. You may not know it, but there are actual legal limits to exposure.

>incandescents
Most traditional incandescent lightbulbs can be replaced with compatible halogen bulbs, it's practically the same thing, but uses less energy and has a longer life. It generates UV lights though, be sure to get one with a UV filter. On the other hand, given the extra price of halogen bulbs, you may as well stop bothering with it and get some good DC LEDs...

>Radio waves can also cause radiation burns. The body will absorb high frequency radio waves and convert the waves to heat. The FCC requires radio stations to evaluate emissions safety above 50 watts. The human body can become resonant at certain frequencies, so higher frequencies are considered dangerous and are monitored for safety.

>Radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) radiation are electromagnetic radiation in the frequency ranges 3 kilohertz (kHz) - 300 Megahertz (MHz), and 300 MHz - 300 gigahertz (GHz), respectively. Research continues on possible biological effects of exposure to RF/MW radiation from radios, cellular phones, the processing and cooking of foods, heat sealers, vinyl welders, high frequency welders, induction heaters, flow solder machines, communications transmitters, radar transmitters, ion implant equipment, microwave drying equipment, sputtering equipment and glue curing.
>Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as cell phones and similar wireless devices before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
My cell phone says that use of the device is only safe if held 1 inch or more away from the skin, which makes it really hard to try to talk on the phone.
>As explained above, the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, is the unit used to determine compliance of cellular and PCS phones with safety limits adopted by the FCC. The SAR is a value that corresponds to the rate at which RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The FCC requires mobile phone manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (averaged over one gram of tissue).
>Information on SAR for a specific cell phone model can be obtained for almost all cellular telephones by using the FCC identification (ID) number for that model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone or device. In many cases, you will have to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the number proceed as follows. Go to the following website: Equipment Authorization. Click on the link for “FCC ID Search”. Once you are there you will see instructions for inserting the FCC ID number. Enter the FCC ID number (in two parts as indicated: "Grantee Code" is comprised of the first three characters, the "Equipment Product Code" is the remainder of the FCC ID). Then click on "Start Search." Grant(s) of Equipment Authorization for this particular FCC ID number should then be available. Click on a check under "Display Grant" and the grant should appear. Look through the Grant for the section on SAR compliance, certification of compliance with FCC rules for RF exposure, or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.

The paper says that the effect isn't pronounced enough to warranty a higher risk group category, like Group 1 or 2a. If you're worrying more about Group 2B factors than 1 or 2a while exposing yourself to those risks, your priorities need realignment.
Alcohol, climate change, soykafty diets, and pollution should be a hell of a lot more motivating for calls to action than cell phones.

i akshully do...
Usually, you try to minimize any exposure to potentially harmful things, and the risk needs to be weighed against the gain. The ability to stream HD VR porn while sitting in an abandoned parking lot on the edge of town that was previously a no-coverage zone does not in my mind justify the increased exposure levels presented by 5g. Naturally, it is too early to tell if cell phones ABSOLUTELY cause cancer, but based on similar exposure patterns, there are distinct biological effects of EM radiation on biological systems, so for the time being, reduced exposure is the safer route to take.
>Alcohol, climate change, soykafty diets, and pollution should be a hell of a lot more motivating for calls to action than cell phones.
While these are equally as severe problems, they are too ingrained in society to stop immediately (it would take decades to reduce the extent of the damage), 5g on the other hand has not even been fully proposed, so we can back off, or mitigate risk before going full exposure because LOOK HOW FAST THESE CAT VIDEOS BUFFER

The thing I don't get about radio conspiracies is that my wi-fi runs on radio. I've been using Wi-Fi for the majority of my life, if non-ionizing radiation actually broke down my brain or whatever you nuts believe, then wouldn't I be experiencing symptoms after much more than a decade of exposure?
>>16071
No, most RF can't penetrate skin. An RF burn is basically a burn and don't occur at higher/lower frequencies but rather at higher power outputs. They also occur if you were to, say, grab your antenna while transmitting. After 50 watts your station has to be checked to make sure its safely outputting radio.
I do agree and always do agree that we need more research, but at the same time radio already has a ton of research behind it, and is generally found to be safe, especially when considering that ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are not the same. Radio is ofc the latter type.
If you want to read the actual health concerns of RF, I have a link below.

Yeah, if you build some kind of walk-in microwave oven. Or sneak into a military base and sit inside a high-powered radar horn. Look up the inverse square law sometime. The wattage of our telecom is not enough to do any damage.
Radio waves aren't a human invention. Our ancestors have been bombarded by radio for billions of years. Unless it's a very high power radio source and very close by it's not going to do anything. Our bodies have always adapted to deal with low wattages of constant, ubiquitous, broadband EM. That's what our universe has always consisted of. In fact it's been FAR worse at certain eras in our evolutionary history. The static on every channel before your superhet or whatever other type of tuner pulls out a usable signal? That emission has been around for thirteen billion years. Transmissions that defeat it with pure, brute-force signal-to-noise ratio haven't been around since the days of spark gap transmitters and crystal radio.
Your phone and wifi are usually restricted to <1 watt at the transmitter. Point-source, not directionally focused as with a yagi or a parabolic reflector. It's never going to hurt a fly. Don't conflate it with massive radar transmitters that have occasionally harmed technicians who inadvertently climbed up into the focus of the dish while it was powered up. It's the dose that makes the poison. There's no comparing it. Radio injuries have never happened with consumer-grade hardware, with the possible exception of leaky microwave ovens from back in the day when they were all designed to be really honkin' powerful with ludicrous wattage ratings.
In fact, the portion of the spectrum used by wifi was selected because it's already mostly fuarrrked by microwave oven emissions. So it was kind of a free band for short-range transmissions that can accept outside interference. It's the same band used by most magnetrons. So there has already been lots of emissions in the wifi band decades before wifi became a thing. 5G is a different band, but it's higher frequency and actually has even less penetration of living tissue.
5G is still soykaf because it's going to mess with our ability to predict weather, plus it's inevitably going to be sloppily implemented and inconsistent. So I think it should be shunned and the hyped drum-beating about it being an international "race to 5g" is incredibly fuarrrking stupid. But the transmissions themselves will not cause you bodily harm. Not as implemented.
Mario Rossi · 2019-07-14 00:08
>>18060
Oh, certainly. Code inspection is expensive. So of course they'll want to stay under the limit if their broadcast range makes that feasible.
It's not like they do it because their setup is badly-designed and unsafe and shooting sparks everywhere. They do to save unnecessary costs if they don't have a mandated duty to cover a large enough of territory, as many radio stations are given as a stipulation for getting rights to their bandwidth. A little indie FM station with a small geographic footprint rarely needs it.
49 watts is less than most light bulbs. Some machine emitting 49 watts spread out in an inverse-square expanding sphere miles away from you isn't going to possibly be able to hurt you. At your body the wattage is absolutely minuscule. Even those old AM stations that are so powerful that people who live near the transmitter can hear the broadcast through fillings in their teeth--those haven't really been demonstrated to cause increased tumor rates through clear study that isn't sketchy and p-hacked.
A wifi router? Fuggedaboudit. No way. Not harmful. If these devices could cause even a tiny tumor risk, then those people next to AM towers would be Cronenbergian Chernobyl monsters by now. You see incredibly manipulative meta-studies made by people who clearly have a sensationalist, publish-or-perish bent that have been horribly contorted to make it look like there's some vanishingly small statistical significance between an arbitrary test-case radio apparatus and tumor rates. Test-cases which don't at all resemble actual wifi or cell phone transmitters used in the real world, by the way. One of the most-cited ones was tested on rats using a power of 100w/kg of subject mass. Measured at the subject's body, not the transmitter. THAT'S INSANE. That's orders of magnitude more than any realistic scenario, and still the results had to be skewed and p-hacked to show a slight correlation. It's garbage science.

There's data from animal farms who got towers installed right onto them. With 2000+ animals they give a solid statistic of increased defects but it has opposition claiming other causes like inbreeding. Can't verify it but it's a interesting direction to dig. Closest to a solid experiment.
There's also paper on webmd proposing it has an effect on calcium ion channels in the brain. Quite old so i don't remember the details anymore.
My bet is this is gonna be the asbestos of our generation. Too profitable to stop and the damage is not high enough to make it obvious to make the avg person care. Not to mention for most purposes we don't even care about slight risk increases when the benefits are too great.
Haruyoshi · 2019-07-21 22:03
the interesting aspect of 5g is that it's supposed to be tracking tech with directional antennas to combat the increasing density causing too much pollution in the band which makes it impossible to transfer a signal without going crazy on watt output using conventional radial antennas. This means you will have to broadcast your precise location using it.
