The world is threatened not only by the virus but by other social problems. These interact and multiply. I would say the collapse will be less than 5 years - but that is a guess based on the logic that if God exists he needs to do this pretty much in one go. There may be short periods (6 months for example) of temporary relief so people can assess the situation and then the next problem will start.

For those who do not believe in God, then one can assume that the long run of "good" conditions in the past 70 years has run out and humankind will endure typical "petrie dish" conditions. It does not need a message from God to say that chaos breeds more chaos, and that one disaster following another is typical evolutionary behavior.

It says the number of people who cannot get enough to eat could double by the end of the year - that is more than quarter of a billion people.
Some 21,000 people already die of hunger every day, and that number could soar if people do not get help.
Food supplies are limited by lockdowns and people's incomes are drying up. Poor countries affected by conflict, economic crisis and climate change are particularly at risk.
The UN says this could drive a wave of refugees and threatens an exponential rise in social unrest.

Just the 5 most convincing papers demonstrating damage to cells and/or DNA from non-ionising radiation at lower than cooking levels, from the thousands that you claim exist, will do. Pretty please with sugar on.

For you, yes I will. :D

I think I was off this thread by the time I was really doing a lot of research.

Will do so later. Just taking a break from physical work.

And you think that proves I am not in the top percentile?

I look at my ability to pass exams and my ability to solve problems in a way that others either could not or thought was impossible.

I have taken intelligence tests as well. I will post one intelligence test that I took when I was about 50 years of age and less than my peak at 38 years of age. I was told it was an open-ended test in that it was impossible for anyone to get the maximum number correct. Yet I did. You can try it yourself, or get experts to assess it. I must just find it and put it on Google drive with a link.

Scoff all you like. Now that my intelligence quota is decreasing, I am aware of how other people function. I used to be baffled by why others could not understand concepts I found simple.

In the last six months, I have started to experience pareidolia, something I never did before. I was told (by Pixel42 for example) that everyone has such experiences so I am not "everyone".

The medical fraternity have no answers to disseminated histoplasmosis and taking the medicine (itraconazole) will eventually kill me (liver damage), yet I cannot stop because doing so causes it to spread internally and cause serious internal inflammation.

So I did a lot of research and before I took the hydrogen peroxide intravenously I also researched that. It was done under doctors supervision at an approved medical clinic and many people had been using it for years. No risk. I did it twice before assessing that it would not work long term.

You assume I am stupid because it suits your beliefs to do so. So you re-word my post in the worst way and attack your own straw-man. Heaven forbid that a highly intelligent man believes that God it more probable than not. You think that only stupid people believe that - meaning you assess yourself as intelligent - right?

This 'god' thing you speak of is not very forward thinking, nor powerful. Basically, a poor designer and planner. It is a reactionary being with a lot of limitations. Sounds downright human!
 
Intelligence may be a necessary condition for mastering a complex subject, but it is not a sufficient one. You also need to do the work. Sometimes intelligence can actually impede mastery if its possessor assumes it also conveys superior intuitive understanding, especially in cases where intuition tends to give you the wrong answer (e.g. probability theory and agent detection).

No, but for that we’ve got the evidence of what you have posted in this forum. Not only the sort of stuff pointed out by Lukraak Sisser above, but also obvious falsehoods like your claim that a law report said, in full, “In an unusual case, the discretion of a judge on costs was overturned.”

Like Chicolini, you’re asking us, “who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?”

God helps me because people like you prompt me to do some work. In trying to find the best 5 papers, I was re-organising and re-reading some material I had. That prompted me to Google some of the sources and people to see what would come up.

And through skimming and noticing little references that seemed interesting I came up with a couple of what I found for you. The first one does the mathematics on standing waves which I mentioned, and references Dr Palls work on calcium ion channels.

The first one was this one:
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep14914.pdf
Polarization: A Key Difference between Man-made and Natural Electromagnetic Fields, in regard to Biological Activity Dimitris J. J. Panagopoulos.
...A large and increasing number of studies during the past few decades have indicated a variety of adverse biological effects to be triggered by exposure to man-made EMFs, especially of radio frequency (RF)/microwaves, and extremely low frequency (ELF). The recorded biological effects range from alterations in the synthesis rates and intracellular concentrations of different biomolecules, to DNA and protein damage, which may result in cell death, reproductive declines, or even cancer. Under the weight of this evidence the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified both ELF magnetic fields and RF EMFs as possibly carcinogenic to humans. The intensities of radiation and durations of exposure in all these studies were significantly smaller than those of corresponding exposures from natural EMFs in the terrestrial environment. Moreover, the field intensities applied in the studies were several orders of magnitude smaller than physiological fields in cell membranes, or fields generated by nerve and muscle excitations.
...As is evident from the described mechanism, the field does not gate the channel by forces exerted directly on the channel sensors. It would take a field on the order of the transmembrane field (106–107 V/m) for that. It is the mediation of the oscillating free ions in close proximity to the S4 channel sensors that allows such weak fields to be able to exert the necessary forces to gate the channel.Thus, ELF electric fields emitted by mobile phones and base stations stronger than 0.0004 V/m are also potentially able to disrupt the function of any living cell. This ELF intensity value is emitted by regular cell phones at distances up to a few meters and base stations at distances up to a few hundred meters. For N number of mobile telephony antennas vertically oriented, the last value is divided by N (according to Eq. 19) at locations of constructive interference.


I also came across this 2020 article on EHS which is a scientific paper on the symptoms and the field strengths/durations I listed as personal observations - and also references the fact that my underlying histoplasmosis issues probably make me more sensitive. It shows the scientific tests that are available that I was not aware of (thanks for prompting me :D - I will give this one to my GP and my neurologist). Note the debunking of psychosomatic and nocebo myths.

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/6/1915
Electrohypersensitivity as a Newly Identified and Characterized Neurologic Pathological Disorder: How to Diagnose, Treat, and Prevent It
...Altogether, these data strongly suggest that EHS is a neurologic
pathological disorder which can be diagnosed, treated, and prevented. Because EHS is becoming a new insidious worldwide plague involving millions of people, we ask the World Health Organization (WHO) to include EHS as a neurologic disorder in the international classification of diseases.
...Symptoms in patients with EHS were compared with those from a series of apparently healthy control subjects that showed no clinical evidence of EHS and/or MCS. As indicated in the table, EHS is characterized by the occurrence of neurologic symptoms including headache, tinnitus, hyperacusis, dizziness, balance disorder, superficial and/or deep sensibility abnormalities, fibromyalgia, vegetative nerve dysfunction, and reduced cognitive capability, including immediate memory loss, attention–concentration deficiency, and eventually tempo-spatial confusion. These symptoms were associated with chronic insomnia, fatigue, and depressive tendency, in addition to emotional lability and sometimes irritability. A major observation is that symptoms were repeatedly reported by the patients to occur each time they reported being exposed to presumably EMF sources, even of weak intensity, and to regress or even disappear after they left these presumed sources. With the exception of arthralgia and emotivity, which were observed at a similar frequency range in the control group, all clinical symptoms occurring in EHS patients were found to be significantly much more frequent than those in apparently normal controls.
...On the basis of previously published experimental data, we selected and identified several biomarkers in the peripheral blood and urine of EHS and/or MCS patients which can allow physicians to objectively characterize EHS and MCS as true somatic pathological disorders, discounting the hypothesis that EHS and MCS could be caused by a psychosomatic or nocebo-related process.



But the die-hards on this forum will no doubt reach deep to discredit these so that they can discredit me. Here is a example of my predictions starting to be supported by science. I was 12 months ahead of reading this article.
 
The previous articles had good references. You can follow them if you have the interest and the time. I will give you a couple more. But here is a quick one.

You have to ask why none of these get traction in the popular press. :confused: :eek: :mad:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1383574218300991?via=ihub
...The number of studies showing adverse effects on living organisms induced by different types of man-made Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) has increased tremendously. Hundreds of peer reviewed published studies show a variety of effects, the most important being DNA damage which is linked to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, reproductive declines etc.

I whole-heartily agree. Except for what seems your implication that I have a problem in this respect. Which is also why my many personal experiences have qualified me - in engineering, in law, in business, in psychic, religion and relationships. Master of many.

I have worked damn hard most of my life, despite playing hard at times also. My patent and discoveries required testing and lab work that Edison would have been proud of.
 
Re: microwaves. Ever gone to a grocery store? Ever wondered why the doors automatically open? Ever been killed by going through the door? I’m sorry you have health problems, but you should try to find and address the real cause with a medical provider

I thought it was thousands?

I did a search of pubmed earlier for non-ionising radiation. A quick scan through the first few pages (sorted by best match) got to about 150 before I started to get as many irrelevant ones as relevant, so I guess hundreds may be accurate.

Clicking on a few at random I found both positive and negative conclusions being reported. I could cherry pick a few like this one ...

Mobile phone base stations and well-being--A meta-analysis.

It is unclear whether electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phone base stations affect well-being in adults. The existing studies on this topic are highly inconsistent. In the current paper we attempt to clarify this question by carrying out a meta-analysis which is based on the results of 17 studies. Double-blind studies found no effects on human well-being. By contrast, field or unblinded studies clearly showed that there were indeed effects. This provides evidence that at least some effects are based on a nocebo effect. Whether there is an influence of electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phone base stations thus depends on a person's knowledge about the presence of the presumed cause. Taken together, the results of the meta-analysis show that the effects of mobile phone base stations seem to be rather unlikely. However, nocebo effects occur.

… to counter the ones you cherry picked, but what would that prove? Nothing.

I simply do not have the necessary knowledge and experience to judge whether concern is justified or not. I'm glad that the research is being done, and await the verdict of the experts that do.

Ah. My primary degree in question. I know for a fact that is a load of bollocks.

Why must you lie?
 
PartSkeptic said:
So easy to make fake statements, then put your feet up and say show me the science. I will give you a hint.

Look at the time slot given to each cell phone. Check the peak power. Work out the duration of exposure for one call based on a average number of minutes per call. Remember the phone broadcasts away from the body. Estimate a typical number of calls per day. Calculate the energy absorbed by the whole body per day.

Then look at a tower. How many antennae are on a typical tower. Each antennae works full time handling a number of cell phones. What is the radiated power for a 20 meter tower with non-directional antennae 10 meters away from the tower. Then calculate the energy absorbed by the body of a person who works from home for each 24 hour period.

Compare the two.

Now take into account the reflections and recombinations of waves as they bounce around the house giving standing waves and short peak energies in the body.

Or you could do an experiment. Put a person in the house next to the tower and observe the health problems. Using people for experiments is supposed to be illegal, yet that is what is being done.

Check the wavelengths for 3G and 4G and check the dimensions of a person's head. Then check the penetration. How does that compare with a rats head. Do you think one can extrapolate from rats to people?

What a load of pseudo scientific nonsense.

You are comprehensively wrong, that is not how any of it works. Not even close.
