Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this? [post #20815775]

A v ery important message to ev eryone, please read it carefully .

1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles65 minutes of c onnection between mobiles.

We assembled something as per image:

Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately . ..During the f irst 15 minutes nothing happened;25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;45 minutes later the egg is hot;65 minutes later the egg is cooked.

Conclusion: The immediate radiation of the mobiles has the potential to modif y the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of y our brains when youdo long calls.

Please try to reduce long time calls on mobile phones

I do not really think that human brain's protein will be damaged by mobile phones because what is f orwarded as above is an experiment which put one egg between twomobile phones but in real life, when we use the mobile phone, we only use one instead of two mobile phones which are being put beside our ear or head..of course, t his

is just my own opinion that this will not occur to human beings..

oh yeah, i could not put the photos in the previous message so if y ou all want to see at the photo of how this experiment was perform, please feel f ree to inform me..ni will send to y ou..=D

what are your opinion about this? =)

The "1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles" experiment is a hoax. I f ound this out by searching f or "egg mobile hoax" on Google.com. The firs t hit is Cooking an Egg with Mobile Phones atthe web site hoax-slay er.com. Their conclusion is: So, although this story has spread far and wide, and some of the sites on which it has been published still claim it t obe true, in reality , it has no basis in fact. Y ou cannot cook an egg with a pair of mobile phones.[Updated on: ]




I hav e sev eral points. (1) Manufacturers mus t design their phones so that the power output is too small to cause any heating; so the reported experimental result is nottrue. (2) This so called experiment is a known hoax, deliberately dis tributed to mislead people. (3) The kind of experiments that we do at home are usually not suit ablef or making important decisions about our health. (4) There are scient if ic protocols to be carried out before and af ter any ex periment, including: before - an ethicalrev iew; and af ter - peer review of t he results. This helps to ensure that the experiment is O.K. t o perform, and that the results can be trusted. (5) We should not makehealth decisions based on individual internet articles, ev en if they are genuine, as it seems that this week's articles say the opposite of last week's. (6) Healthcampaigns, such as the anti-smoking campaign, are based on indisputable medical ev idence, e.g. smok ing as a cause of lung disease. (7) Health concerns aboutmobile phones are still disputed. (8) Children are generally more at ris k f rom env ironmental dangers than adults, e.g. t o lead and melamine poisoning, so there are manysuggestions that it would be better for c hildren not to use mobile phones. (9) Just s upposing it was not a hoax. The described experiment is not reproducable, and henceis not scientif ic. We do not know how far away t he phone mast was, or if there was continual talking into the phone. Both of these fact ors aff ect the R.F. power output.(10) The Environment Protection Authority of y our country is a good source of reliable health information. The Australian EPA has this relevant report "Mobile phones: isthere a health hazard?" (11) Normal mobile phones do not operate like walkie-talkies, inst ead they each send/receiv e a signal to/f rom the nearest mobile mast, andcommunicate indirectly. I hope this helps, Regards, Colin (B.Sc. Physics )

wow, Mr Colin, y our information is really usef ul! but the thing is that I hav e heard that mobiles phones do emit such kind of wav e that produces heat just like the inf rared wav es.. I have also read from newspaper that the wav es that are emitted f rom these mobile phones are the most in Motorola and the least in Nokia.

I mean that do you think t hat mobile phones do really emit s uch waves that produces heat? because if this is so, then there is a possibility that the eggs will bechanged in their chemical properties but not phy sical properties that t he forwarded message has exaggerated..

hope this discussion can be participated by all the members.. thank y ou for y our useful answer, Mr Colin.. H ave a nice day ! =)

Member since: September 2008You do not have to worry about mobile phones cooking or changing the chemist ry of y our brain. The story about the egg is not only exaggerated; it is NOT true. It didnot happen and was made up to confuse or entertain people. Follow this link to read that an author of t he hoax made it up as a silly story : How Not To Cook An EggWith A Phone (But Still Create A Viral Hoax Sensation). You might choose to use your mobile less often because that is y our personal belief , but y our choice is notmade for any proven scientif ic reason. Stories like the cooked egg and other variations worry people for no good reason. We should ignore such stories, and spendmore time worrying about prov en dangers like: the risk of skin cancer f rom sun bathing, of lung disease from carcinogens in cigarette smoke, and the dangers of us inga mobile while driv ing. Here is a good article which describes the problem caused by all t he unfounded stories about mobile phones and other wireless gadgets: Ourradiation fears are being exploited, charity warns.

but seriously s ir...

it scared me... i spent less time talking on the phone now hehehe




The potential health risk of mobile phones is an area of intense st udy . One of these s tudies called "Interphone" has yet to publish its results. An article "MobileMadness" in The Economist discusses the Interphone study . "The threat to human health from mobile phones, if any, is much disputed. A shame, then, that a m assiv emultinational study on the question has ended in chaos."Interphone began in 2000, ended in 2006, cost $30m and inv olv ed around 50 scientis ts working in 13 countries on 14,000 people. It has, howev er, st ill to come to asett led conclusion. The article ref erences a paper in Nature's Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology , "Recall bias in the assessment of exposureto mobile phones." This paper analyses just how unreliable the Interphone study is. Future studies need better methods, but may take ev en longer to come to aconclusion.




The city of Sebastopol, California, USA is gaining Facebook fame f or its blocking of a f ree WiFi project. According to articles in their local newspaper, The PressDemocrat , local democracy prov ides the stage for the debate between WiFi promoters and those who are worried that there may be health ef f ects f rom low levels of

microwav e radiation. One concerned citizen published an article "Sebastopol's brave rejection of WiFi". On the other side of the debate, a grass roots group in support off ree Wifi published the article "Facebook users want their WiFi". Wif i supporters have published their arguments f or WiFi on two Facebook groups: "I Support Free Wi-Fiin Sebastopol", and "[named individual] killed free Wif i in Sebastopol". Echoes of this debate are sure to be heard in other cities, as many y ears of intense scientif icresearch and demographic surv eys, such as (The Interphone Study ), have failed to produce proof of health risks f rom the radio waves of mobile phones and personalWiFi.




December 2008 updates to the Sebastopol WiFi st ory : "A correction - and f urther notes on the Sebastopol WiFi controv ersy " in The Press Democrat, and "WifiAllergies" in Walk the Grass blog.


Important Precautionary Advic e Regarding Cell Phone Use [post #25981833 is a reply t o post #23856670 ]


Although there is no proven risk, a U.S. Cancer institute has prov ided warnings about cell phone use. Ronald B. Herberman, MD has prov ided "prudent and simpleprecautions, intended to promote precautionary ef f orts to reduce exposures to cell phone electromagnetic radiation". On the linked web page, he begins "Recently Ihave become aware of t he growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health ef f ects including cancer. Although the evidence is stillcontrov ersial, I am conv inced that there are suf f icient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary adv ice on cell phone use." Please read more at"Important Precautionary Adv ice Regarding Cell Phone Use" and consult the complete see the complete article (pdf f ile, 100kb)that Herberman has provided.

A September 2009 report "Cell Phone Radiation: Science Rev iew on Cancer Risks and Children's Health" was published by ewg.org. It is also available as a PDF f ile onScribd.com as "EWG's Cell Phone Radiation Report". See also "EWGs Guide to Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Exposure". The Env ironmental Working Group (EWG) is aUS non-prof it organization that advocates on Capitol Hill f or health-protectiv e and subsidy-shif ting policies.
