Student science experiment finds plants won't grow near Wi-Fi router

Anyone here wants to do your own experiment to test this out? Maybe the girls should have tried this with maybe a colony of ants as well to make the experiment more conclusive.

**Slaps forehead** Why didn't I think of that?

Ugh. They didn't "find" anything because they failed to duplicate their results even once. Indeed, the very first comment is someone claiming to have grown the same plant next to their WiFi router and DECT phone. Anyone who thought that was worth sharing after reading it is not a critical thinker.

Amazing that no reputable scientists have noticed the tens of thousands of human deaths from these wi-fi things emitting their kill-beams in houses and apartments across the nation.

Or maybe THEY are in on it too!

Did you know that Wikipedia.org has no entry for the term "gullibility"?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

"Mother Nature Network"? Female author? Denmark? lol.

Do not spread this bullshit.

the seeds near the wifi router were sitting on top of a radiator.

the seeds not near the router were sitting on top of a table.

i think that just MIGHT have had something to do with it.

 

[DesiPower]

Maybe the router was turned on, turn it off any everything will grow nicely...

Interesting, I'll have to try this experiment with a unify. First, with it off, for a control test, then with it on, and then with it on blasting data.

Their method seems very thorough to me. I think they are ready for climate change research.

Even if it would be true, turning off your wifi wouldn't do anything for you anyway, as there are probably another 5 networks crossing your house.

Oh, wait till they cover cellular radiation.

Yeah pretty much. And as for cell phones, I highly doubt it's the cell phone you have to worry about, it's the towers. The cell phones also have to be powerful enough to tansmit all the way to the towers (can be miles) so whether you have it next to your face or a few feet a way does not make much of a difference.

Chances are, if cell phones are really bad for us, there's not much we can do.

I do have a hunch that a combination of all the electromagnetic waves we have going may potentially be bad for us. Could explain why we see so much cancer compared to before. Though genetics also plays a role otherwise everybody would be getting cancer.

Turning off your wifi would help as the intensity drops as the square of the distance from it. You still get hit with your neighbors' signals but they are much weaker.

The same goes for cell towers and phones. You get more radiation from the phone than from the tower because it is much closer. You actually want to be near the tower ad you phone transmits at a much lower power when a tower is nearby.

Wireless(cellphone or wifi) radiation may play some role, but I believe that cancer is mainly caused by junk food we eat and the overly stressful lives we are living.

lol this

 

[Matthiasa]

There is actually one thing that could have legitimately caused that.
If the device got to hot, them stupidly placing it over the vents, it could have maybe cooked the seeds.

And now that I can read:

the seeds near the wifi router were sitting on top of a radiator.

the seeds not near the router were sitting on top of a table.

i think that just MIGHT have had something to do with it.

So they cooked them.

Yeah. The radiator gives off RADIATION!!!

This. The evidence is overwhelming and indisputable. Scientific consensus has been reached. No reason to even question it anymore.

I like you. When you bring the retard to a thread you bring it full on! :thumbsup:

and next on the Mother Nature Network:

Di-hydrogen Monoxide - should it be banned?

An article written by Jenn Savedge, the author of green parenting books and blog about raising eco-friendly kids. (I wonder if she actually changed her last name from Savage to Savedge to make it sound more ecological? Savage would not sound very good in her circles.)

What could possibly be biased about this article?



"The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day."


Ya the girls were busy answering their phones all night long..... No wonder they could not concentrate the next day.


"created a science experiment that is causing a stir in the scientific community."

What, when, where?? They must be talking about the "pseudo scientific community".
