I think that when people hear radiation they automaticaly think of same type of radiation that you get from nuclear power plants or nuclear bombs. But the radiation that your microwave emits is different. Its just like visible light, infrared, radio waves, low frequency RF and static fields, and I think its called non-ionizing or something like that.

Im pretty sure cordless phones, motion detectors, radar and Wi-Fi all use microwave radiation, not just your microwave oven.

Microwave radiation does not have enough energy to destabalize atoms. Basicaly it only has enough energy to excite molecules. When you stick your food in the microwave, the radiation excites the water molecules causing heat, and your food to cook. yay!

So in short, I think you are pretty safe unless you crawl into a giant microwave and turn it on.

I'm not sure its possible to count how many people know you're wrong without the aid of an indian super-boy or a calculator.

conclusion: "So, although this story has spread far and wide, and some of the sites on which it has been published still claim it to be true, in reality, it has no basis in fact. You cannot cook an egg with a pair of mobile phones."

conclusion: The Myth Busters programme tried to cook an egg, once, using 100 phones. Perhaps the phones turned themselves off, because the egg didn't cook on that occasion. Or perhaps the PC in the background of the photograph was hot, and the fan was blowing on the egg. Or maybe it was a joke.

conclusion: Cell phones communicate with the cell tower, not each other. The egg shouldn't be between the phones, it should be between the phone(s) and the tower for this to even have a snowballs chance in hell of working.

conclusion: if all the energy used by the cell phone was converted into microwave energy (a lot of the electricity warms the silicon in the electronics and the display and thus just warms the handset) and all that energy were to radiate *only* at the egg and in no other direction, the egg would barely reach body temperature before the battery goes dead.

Conclusion: You are wrong, I am right.

Probably your friends are getting worked up over nothing, but this is one subject where you want to resist sweeping pronouncements. On its face, antimicrowave propaganda (you'll find loads of it on the Web) is none too persuasive--some of these people have yet to comprehend the crucial distinction between ionizing and nonionizing radiation. (Ionizing radiation is the nuclear, i.e., dangerous, kind, which includes X rays, gamma rays, etc; nonionizing is everything else, e.g., microwaves, not to mention light.) When you dig into the research, though, you realize the controversy isn't all hooey. On the contrary, what we've got here is one of the great coal-mine fires of science--an argument that, in this case, has been smoldering for 50 years without resolution. Unexpected recent developments, though, make me think we may get to the bottom of this pup yet.

Not so fast there. Much of that is just guesswork or false. Straight Dope. There is no actual proof of most of that.

I'd rather believe an MD over some random guy on the internet. I mean, really.

Hogwash. Humans are not 97% water, free radicals are not produced in microwaves (nor do they necessarily cause cancer), and if the Soviet Union did indeed ban microwaves in 1976, I cannot find one reliable source that tells me so. She may be an MD, but she's no researcher.

In November 2004 Dr. Solomon had a spiritual awakening that catapulted her training to include Energy Medicine modalities, including Reiki. Dr. Solomon is a Reiki Master having studied 'Reiki with the Angels' under Ellen Wheeler.

To be honest paul, I don't agree with you:
