That's fine. To get a feel for it you could visit a high traffic area/crossroads, ideally near to a cell phone mast, and spend a minute or two
observing what you feel in your body as the traffic starts and stops.
It's weather dependent.
It seems to be easiest to predict on sunny, dry days.
I can feel all kinds of sensations/reactions
It's a lot to take in at the start.
I feel chest pains or discomfort in the upper body from the signals
If it is from temporary sources don't let that be an reason not to get medical expertise. Make sure you're getting plenty of oxygen, and where you are is not too stuffy/humid/hot either. In this case you can opening windows, fans, air conditioners (CA Lungs).
Cancer?
I really don't know the answer to this. There is at least one study showing a link between inflammation
and e.g. colon cancer, but I would defer to cancer patients and experts who are up to date with
the information presented here. I think some people are really concerned about this however.
(I think the side effect of the technology is that the geographical, profession/work environment data to answer
this question is also available now to certain parties. That said it's something an admin or other human will
need to evaluate in each case)
I'm having an allergic/other reaction
Please do treat it as you normally should an allergic reaction (e.g. anti-histamines, removing from allergen, steroid creams/liquids),
and so on. The topics presented here are not intended to be medical advice.
I have a headache
Nurofen/ibuprofen/paracetamol, hydration, medical attention if persists. (Applications of creams to forehead/face can help though)
Thanks for the Q&A, how can I block the signals?
These are what I would try. Once you are aware of what signals feel like you can use that as a guide.
- Sun Block (I got this idea from nurseries and practical use) e.g. Nivea (SPF 30) works fine for this ASDABootsSuperdrug, SPF 50 obviously up a level.
- Plastic, particularly in pipe shapes. (Cable trunking, bins, a Cap shield)
- Water.
- Body lotions/creams (Aveeno Boots works great )
- Bottles of Water (I've seen some creativity around this)
- Metal meshes (the mesh needs to be fine, like you would find on a microwave oven door). This is probably the hardest to find.
- Keeping moving
- Other things I would try are different materials use in e.g. clothing
- Solar panels (Amazon do a range of portable ones. They also work for charging batteries and phones, but do treat them as fragile.)
- Mats and rugs (this mat helps (ASDA), it has a rubber backing)
- Blinds (even temporary installs may help)
- Bearing in mind which directions the traffic, masts are etc will help.
- In work situations, being aware of metal poles/posts, fencing, railings, frameworks may help. Although very large metal
structures (like girders) may actually help shield you.
Why are you interested in spreading information about this?
People, children, animals, farm animals, factory animals, wildlife, plants, babies are all subject to pain when that pain could quite easily be blocked
if they knew the source of it.
What can I do to optimise Wifi usage?
- First thing I would do is avoid pointing your wifi hub at where someone is going to be for extended periods of time (sleep, work). Bearing in mind wifi reaches
through walls.
- Wifi is wireless internet. You can have wired internet too, using cables to connect devices to your hub.
You can get network switches/routers quite inexpensively which expand the number of network ports you have, and you can run one
long cable and split into multiple connections (e.g. https://amzn.eu/d/00VkEcB6 (I like the plastic one)). That said, many if not most wifi hubs may still broadcast
data to all devices over the wifi when sending, simply for historical reasons. But at least the connection
will be one-sided only if you use a cable.
- You can also get USB to "ethernet" network port adapters so you can use a wired
network connection with a laptop, phone etc that doesn't have a network cable port. You'll need to search for one with the right USB port (usually USB-C nowadays), and if you use it a lot you may want it to be able to charge your device at the same time.
- You can also get devices that run the wifi separately while your ISP hub keeps running the internet, so
if you don't need wifi on all the time, you can turn it on or off with timer/remote controlled switches,
while keeping your wired connections on. There are even some wifi routers aimed at travel and small spaces with Low, Middle High Wifi strength settings, such as this one: https://amzn.eu/d/0dmLEBiH
When did you first hear about phone signals and their effect on the human body?
At Imperial College London, year 2000 or so. But I hadn't thought about it much until recently (except for
when setting up WiFi networks at work).
Who are some of the people who first felt the signals you described?
They include relatives, tube station workers, train station workers, staff at the Harry Potter shop at King's Cross, friends, passers-by,
a homeless couple at my local tube station (who helped spread the idea a great deal I think, but I don't know), staff in a local shop,
an engineering professor, other friends, security staff... (Other people have felt the signals before for sure, I mean people who acknowledged them in the moment)
Physics and Science
Phone signals?
- Are electromagnetic radiation/light, just like visible light, x-rays, UV, infrared, radio/television.
- What kind of radiation depends on their wavelength/frequency
- The wavelength/frequency is like the pitch of a sound, and represents how quickly the waves move up and down
Ok, but visible light can't penetrate skin?
- if you hold a hand up to a light, you can see the flesh round the bones glowing, but yes, mainly the
human body blocks visible light.
- Phone signals are a different wavelength though, which mean they can penetrate into buildings.
But surely you can't use light to harm the human body
- You can actually. For example sunburn, sun stroke, etc.
- The kind of light that is used in phone signals, happens to
be the same as that used in microwave ovens. People have a hard time believing this
when they first hear it, but you can confirm this online.
- We can clearly heat things in a microwave.
- The reason I suspect microwaves are used are for practical reasons, such as the size of the aerial you need
being suitable for making personal-sized devices.
How can we be using enough energy to cause sensations in the human body?
When waves combine, their amplitudes (which is the square root of the power wattage) add up and then are squared to get the total power output.
So when you have 4 3W devices, the maximum combination possible is (4 * square root (3)), squared, which is 48W.
Can waves of different frequencies constructively interfere?
Yes
What does reflection etc look like?
When a wave meets a boundary it could be reflected, transmitted, absorbed or a combination of each of these. It may again cause constructive interference with itself.
