A v ery important message to ev ery one, please read it caref ully .

1 Egg, & 2 Mobiles

65 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 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 y ou
do 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 abov e is an experiment which put one egg between two
mobile phones but in real lif e, 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, this
is just my own opinion that this will not occur to human beings..

oh y eah, i could not put the photos in the prev ious message so if y ou all want to see at the photo of how this experiment was perf orm, please f eel f ree to inf orm me..n
i will send to y ou..=D

what are y our 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 f irst hit is Cooking an Egg with Mobile Phones at
the web site hoax-slay er.com. Their conclusion is: So, although this story has spread f ar 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. Y ou cannot cook an egg with a pair of mobile phones.

I hav e sev eral points. (1) Manuf acturers must design their phones so that the power output is too small to cause any heating; so the reported experimental result is not
true. (2) This so called experiment is a known hoax, deliberately distributed to mislead people. (3) The kind of experiments that we do at home are usually not suitable
f or making important decisions about our health. (4) There are scientif ic protocols to be carried out bef ore and af ter any experiment, including: bef ore - an ethical
rev iew; and af ter - peer rev iew of the results. This helps to ensure that the experiment is O.K. to perf orm, and that the results can be trusted. (5) We should not make
health decisions based on indiv idual internet articles, ev en if they are genuine, as it seems that this week's articles say the opposite of last week's. (6) Health
campaigns, such as the anti-smoking campaign, are based on indisputable medical ev idence, e.g. smoking as a cause of lung disease. (7) Health concerns about
mobile phones are still disputed. (8) Children are generally more at risk f rom env ironmental dangers than adults, e.g. to lead and melamine poisoning, so there are many
suggestions that it would be better f or children not to use mobile phones. (9) Just supposing it was not a hoax. The described experiment is not reproducable, and hence
is not scientif ic. We do not know how f ar away the phone mast was, or if there was continual talking into the phone. Both of these f actors af f ect the R.F. power output.
(10) The Env ironment Protection Authority of y our country is a good source of reliable health inf ormation. The Australian EPA has this relev ant report "Mobile phones: is
there a health hazard?" (11) Normal mobile phones do not operate like walkie-talkies, instead they each send/receiv e a signal to/f rom the nearest mobile mast, and
communicate indirectly . I hope this helps, Regards, Colin (B.Sc. Phy sics)

wow, Mr Colin, y our inf ormation 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 ra
red wav es..I hav e also read f rom 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 y ou think that mobile phones do really emit such wav es that produces heat? because if this is so, then there is a possibility that the eggs will be
changed in their chemical properties but not phy sical properties that the f orwarded message has exaggerated..

hope this discussion can be participated by all the members.. thank y ou f or y our usef ul answer, Mr Colin.. Hav e a nice day ! =)

Y ou do not hav e to worry about mobile phones cooking or changing the chemistry of y our brain. The story about the egg is not only exaggerated; it is NOT true. It did
not happen and was made up to conf use 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 Egg
With A Phone (But Still Create A Viral Hoax Sensation). Y ou might choose to use y our mobile less of ten because that is y our personal belief , but y our choice is not
made f or any prov en scientif ic reason. Stories like the cooked egg and other v ariations worry people f or no good reason. We should ignore such stories, and spend
more time worry ing about prov en dangers like: the risk of skin cancer f rom sun bathing, of lung disease f rom carcinogens in cigarette smoke, and the dangers of using
a mobile while driv ing. Here is a good article which describes the problem caused by all the unf ounded stories about mobile phones and other wireless gadgets: Our
radiation f ears are being exploited, charity warns.

The potential health risk of mobile phones is an area of intense study . One of these studies called "Interphone" has y et to publish its results. An article "Mobile
Madness" in The Economist discusses the Interphone study . "The threat to human health f rom mobile phones, if any , is much disputed. A shame, then, that a massiv e
multinational study on the question has ended in chaos."
Interphone began in 2000, ended in 2006, cost $30m and inv olv ed around 50 scientists working in 13 countries on 14,000 people. It has, howev er, still to come to a
settled conclusion. The article ref erences a paper in Nature's Journal of Exposure Science and Env ironmental Epidemiology , "Recall bias in the assessment of exposure
to mobile phones." This paper analy ses just how unreliable the Interphone study is. Future studies need better methods, but may take ev en longer to come to a
conclusion.

The city of Sebastopol, Calif ornia, USA is gaining Facebook f ame f or its blocking of a f ree WiFi project. According to articles in their local newspaper, The Press
Democrat, local democracy prov ides the stage f or the debate between WiFi promoters and those who are worried that there may be health ef f ects f rom low lev els of
microwav e radiation. One concerned citizen published an article "Sebastopol's brav e rejection of WiFi". On the other side of the debate, a grass roots group in support of
f ree Wif i published the article "Facebook users want their WiFi". Wif i supporters hav e published their arguments f or WiFi on two Facebook groups: "I Support Free Wi-Fi
in Sebastopol", and "[named indiv idual] killed f ree Wif i in Sebastopol". Echoes of this debate are sure to be heard in other cities, as many y ears of intense scientif ic
research and demographic surv ey s, such as (The Interphone Study ), hav e f ailed to produce proof of health risks f rom the radio wav es of mobile phones and personal
WiFi.

Although there is no prov en risk, a U.S. Cancer institute has prov ided warnings about cell phone use. Ronald B. Herberman, MD has prov ided "prudent and simple
precautions, intended to promote precautionary ef f orts to reduce exposures to cell phone electromagnetic radiation". On the linked web page, he begins "Recently I
hav e become aware of the growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adv erse health ef f ects including cancer. Although the ev idence is still
controv ersial, I am conv inced that there are suf f icient data to warrant issuing an adv isory 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 prov ided.

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 av ailable as a PDF f ile on
Scribd.com as "EWG's Cell Phone Radiation Report". See also "EWG’s Guide to Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Exposure". The Env ironmental Working Group (EWG) is a
US non-prof it organization that adv ocates on Capitol Hill f or health-protectiv e and subsidy -shif ting policies.
