January 2004A very important message to everyone, please read it carefully.1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles65 minutes of connection between mobiles.We assembled something as per image:Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately. ..During the first 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 modify the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when youdo long calls.Please try to reduce long time calls on mobile phonesReport this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?

January 2004I do not really think that human brain's protein will be damaged by mobile phones because what is forwarded 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, thisis 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 you all want to see at the photo of how this experiment was perform, please feel free to inform me..ni will send to you..=Dwhat are your opinion about this? =)Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?

September 2008The "1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles" experiment is a hoax. I found this out by searching for "egg mobile hoax" on Google.com. The first hit isCooking an Egg with Mobile Phonesatthe web sitehoax-slayer.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 tobe true, in reality,
it has no basis in fact
. You cannot cook an egg with a pair of mobile phones.[Updated on: ]Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this? [post #20877473is a reply to post #20815952]Colin

September 2008I have several points. (1) Manufacturers must 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 aknown hoax, deliberately distributed to mislead people. (3) The kind of experiments that we do at home are usually not suitablefor making important decisions about our health. (4) There are scientific protocols to be carried out before and after any experiment, including: before - an ethicalreview; and after - peer review of the results. This helps to ensure that the experiment is O.K. to perform, and that the results can be trusted. (5) We should not makehealth decisions based on individual internet articles, even 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 evidence, e.g. smoking as a cause of lung disease. (7) Health concerns aboutmobile phones are still disputed. (8) Children are generally more at risk from environmental dangers than adults, e.g. to lead and melamine poisoning, so there are manysuggestions that it would be better for children not to use mobile phones. (9) Just supposing it was not a hoax. The described experiment is not reproducable, and henceis not scientific. We do not know how far away the phone mast was, or if there was continual talking into the phone. Both of these factors affect the R.F. power output.(10) The Environment Protection Authority of your 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, instead they each send/receive a signal to/from the nearest mobile mast, andcommunicate indirectly. I hope this helps, Regards, Colin (B.Sc. Physics)Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this? [post #20911574is a reply to post #20877473]Z3n L33 =D

wow, Mr Colin, your information is really useful! but the thing is that I have heard that mobiles phones do emit such kind of wave that produces heat just like the infrared waves..I have also read from newspaper that the waves that are emitted from these mobile phones are the most in Motorola and the least in Nokia.I mean that do you think that mobile phones do really emit such 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 physical properties that the forwarded message has exaggerated..hope this discussion can be participated by all the members.. thank you for your useful answer, Mr Colin.. Have a nice day! =)Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this? [post #20914568is a reply to post #20911574]Colin

September 2008You do not have to worry about mobile phones cooking or changing the chemistry of your 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 the 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 your personal belief, but your choice is notmade for any proven scientific 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 proven dangers like: the risk of skin cancer from sun bathing, of lung disease from carcinogens in cigarette smoke, and the dangers of usinga mobile while driving. Here is a good article which describes the problem caused by all the unfounded stories about mobile phones and other wireless gadgets:Our radiation fears are being exploited, charity warns.Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?

September 2008The potential health risk of mobile phones is an area of intense study. One of these studies called "Interphone" has yet to publish its results. An article "MobileMadness" inThe Economistdiscusses the Interphone study. "The threat to human health from mobile phones, if any, is much disputed. A shame, then, that a massive multinational study on the question has ended in chaos."Interphone began in 2000, ended in 2006, cost $30m and involved around 50 scientists working in 13 countries on 14,000 people. It has, however, still to come to asettled conclusion. The article references 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 even longer to come to aconclusion.Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?

September 2008The city of Sebastopol, California, USA is gaining Facebook fame for its blocking of a free WiFi project. According to articles in their local newspaper,The PressDemocrat, local democracy provides the stage for the debate between WiFi promoters and those who are worried that there may be health effects from low levels of microwave 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 of free Wifi published the article "Facebook users want their WiFi". Wifi supporters have published their arguments for WiFi on two Facebook groups: "I Support Free Wi-Fi in Sebastopol", and "[named individual] killed free Wifi in Sebastopol". Echoes of this debate are sure to be heard in other cities, as many years of intense scientific research and demographic surveys, such as (The Interphone Study), have failed to produce proof of health risks from the radio waves of mobile phones and personalWiFi.Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?

September 2008Although there is no proven risk, a U.S. Cancer institute hasprovided warnings about cell phone use.Ronald B. Herberman, MD has provided "prudent and simple precautions, intended to promote precautionary efforts to reduce exposures to cell phone electromagnetic radiation". On the linked web page, he begins "Recently Ihave become aware of the growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health effects including cancer. Although the evidence is stillcontroversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use." Please read more at"Important Precautionary Advice Regarding Cell Phone Use" and consult the complete see the complete article (pdf file, 100kb)that Herberman has provided.

September 2008A September 2009 report "Cell Phone Radiation: Science Review on Cancer Risks and Children's Health" was published byewg.org. It is also available as a PDF file onScribd.com as "EWG's Cell Phone Radiation Report". See also "EWG’s Guide to Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Exposure". TheEnvironmental Working Group (EWG)is a US non-profit organization that advocates on Capitol Hill for health-protective and subsidy-shifting policies.Report this post to a moderator  Re: Do mobile phones really have the potential to do this?
