I was on the phone to my ISP a couple of days ago, trying to find out why I had no internet access, and the person I was speaking to, who had seemed intelligent actually told me that I could go online to get answers to some of my questions. He really did. Credit where due: When I snorted audibly into the phone, he stopped, thought for a moment and joined me in a wry chuckle. Turns out (no surprise) that he has a script.
I can see how that could possibly happen… There is a cell tower near where I live disguised as a big pine tree with branches and allthat a tree should have.. From a distance it kind of sort of blends in, but if you look closer you can tell what it really is.
My college professor in electronic fields and waves refused to enter the microwave laboratory. As students there were some very odd arcs produced as we learned to make and propagate microwaves. We all know the heating effects at about 2.5GHz from our microwave ovens. I think 5G may be about 10 times higher in frequency. A mitigating item is the skin effect at these higher frequencies. The waves travel on surfaces, hence “skin effect”. Most energy is concentrated on the surface of an irradiated body. 5G promises a much faster data rate so who cares if we get a few more basal cell carcinomas on our ears? Just think about all the new medicines and treatments we can learn about on TV and take to fix that!

If a tree falls in the woods and NO ONE HEARS …

Sort of reminds me of the story of the antenna engineer who got married. The wedding was so-so but the reception was great.
