electromagnetic fields

Headline: Child leukaemia "not linked to Powerlines". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26068363 Any thoughts on the highlighted part? Is this the "1 time out of 20" margin of error? If so, which way?

Here's her Wiki page, and some of you may not know who she is, but she did something rather extraordinary among her peers - she got the attention of the Department of the Defense and apparently has disappeared from public view. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning_Li_(physicist) Her team was...

So, I'm seeing this study posted on a relative's FaceBook, and it looks like typical "OMG CELL PHONES ARE RADIOACTIVE" nonsense, but then I follow the link and it looks to my untrained eyes like they did a legit study. Could someone with better training take a peek at this and let me know if...

Hi, I am wondering how radio works. I have read that radio is a an electromagnetic wave and that electromagnetic waves behave a bit like mechanic waves, like the ones you see in water, but that they are also quite different. I would like to know how an electromagnetic wave that is broadcast by...

http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26992/ I am really confused by the above article. From a brief read through, they're saying that by slowing down light and then speeding it back up, we can effectively hide something in time for about 110 nanoseconds. Is this correct? Does that mean...

I just saw this project mentioned on the XMOS forum: http://www.paranormalsurveillance.com/ Here's why XMOS (a purveyor of very high performance micro-controllers) was involved: http://www.xcore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=781 I've got quite a lot of XMOS hardware. They are very useful...

Hi, Just a simple but perhaps odd request. I'm running a murder mystery game based on what of those "paranormal tv" ghosthunting shows. The only difference is I have hired a "haunted" hotel, written a game script, and all the phenomena are manufactured as part of the game. The paranormal...

Well now... MSNBC in conjunction with Prevention magazine has produced a "Did You Know About" article: "Is ‘electrosmog’ harming our health? Electrical pollution from cell phones and WiFi may be hazardous" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34509513/ns/health-cancer/ I haven't really studied any...

I decided to surf through some woo this evening for entertainment, when I came up on this: . http://www.emfbalancingtechnique.com/ Anyone ever heard of this stuff? I found it linked on a Sedona site (not surprising).

NY Post reports cellphone & cancer "link", before the study has been published I wouldn't the big C on anyone of course, but I would love if this marked a sharp downtown in all the morons walking around with these damn things glued to their ears 24/7. Appears that the big companies might have...

For anyone in the UK, (or anyone inclined to listen online), there's a programme on tonight on Radio 4 where scientists tried to create the conditions that would make a place feel haunted:

If there was another planet like earth out there how would its electromagnetic field effect the signals that our instruments use for find them. Would they end up at its north pole.

If anybody could direct me to sites which deal with this, I'd be really grateful. What I'm interested in is further discussion and analysis of the Orsted satellite's mission to map Earth's electromagnetic field. As I understand it, there are some preliminary conclusions that collated data may...

An extensive search turned up a blank on this, so it may be new to some of you. Bioresonance has always been fertile ground for chuckles, but I don't think I've ever seen anything in the field quite so unhinged as this (still can't post links so you'll have to copy / paste, unless someone can...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but in a brief search, I couldn't find it. http://www.aulterra.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=2015 People. Actually. Buy. This. Crap.

Anyone seen this? The manufacturer's website is in German so difficult for me - maybe there are some language buffs out there who can work out what is being said at www.willautronics.com.

http://www.lessemf.com/personal.html Wow! Anti-magnetic underpants! Shield yourself from microwave, radar and TV radiation. Unfortunately, they don't sell the prerequisite tinfoil hats to complete your insane person ensemble.

In the Bioelectomagnetics thread, Cogreslab has claimed (among other things) that exposure to the Electromagentic fields emanating from power lines cause Leukemia. In the attempt to explain the mechanism by which this happens he exposed his lack of basic scientific understanding and has opened...

... is the BBC news website's headline, although the subheading reveals that actually which I suppose isn't as exciting. The story quotes Denis Henshaw of Bristol University as a dissenting voice: Does anyone know what meta-analysis he speaks of, and if it's as water-tight as he suggests...
