Science Project Finds Plants Won't Grow Near Wi-Fi Router.

I will only accept this as fact if it is on Huffington Post/HLN/Fox News

After their slumber party I look forward to the girls work on Mid East Peace...

It may not rate a paper in the Royal Academy of Sciences but it's an interesting theory proposed by a much more interesting group of kids.

Anything that gets kids interested in science is a big deal. A lack of curiosity about the natural world around us is one of mankind's most harmful habits.

Who knows what seed could be planted by recognizing these attempts by kids to engage in the scientific process?
Could be a future botanist in there that might change the world someday.

Well done kids. Keep going.

The one on the far left looks like she could have daddy issues. Should make for an interesting stripper.

No wifi here. Hardwired

Cell phone?. I have an old altel phone from 2005. Bought it on ebay for $15 bucks. Doesn't take pictures, doesn't get spam. Throw it up against the wall it falls apart and snaps right back together again. No problemo. Gonna keep it for as long as we can. Use it? Customers will never know that number. It's very infrequently used. If you can't get me in the office it's because I don't want to be gotten.

seriously brain cancer rates are going to go up decade on decade, and have done..

there is a fallacy called "the thermal threshold" in equilibrium thermodynamics when applied to biological organisms that states essentially that since the energy involved(people are exposed to) in mobile phones/transmitter base stations, wifi and high tension power lines is too low (below "the thermal threshold") then it cannot cause any damage.. And this is sadly another way that the "regulators" of our day will cut short the lifespans of hundreds of millions..

every person should know from basic science that living organisms cannot be described in terms of conventional equilibrium thermodynamics, it just doesn't work like that..

the molecules in your body are performing quantum coherence to a very high level and vibrating/resonating together, weak electromagnetic fields can have macroscopic effects because they affect an astronomical number of molecules that should be doing the same things coherently..

organisms and cells, as well as molecules, rely on electric and electromagnetic fields for intercommunication which is how anything from a worm to a whale can function as coherent wholes..

this is also why migratory animals are having such problems in recent decades, birds smashing themselves into the ground, whales/dolphins/fish beaching themselves and dying en masse..

Shocking. I can just imagine what the invisible field inside any decent size city must be like with all the free hotspots and personal equipment.

pathetic whoever found unhelpful what i essentially quoted above from a leading scientist in a recent work, because i have no doubt they didn't understand it, maybe when it's too late

and at the end of the day these things are all new,, we are the test generations like it or lump it but don't shoot the messenger when it turns out messing around with these frequencies around biological systems fucks up natural electromagnetic interractions and are worse for your health than alot of the other poisons out there.. like i said this shit is still essentially untested over a human lifespan.. apart from the fact they new it interrupted natural biophysics before they decided to go wireless because they had tested it all out in the 1930s and 40s in much higher doses..

oh i forgot to say that these weak electromagnetic fields are also worse for bees as well than any pesticide monsatan can cook up in their cauldrons..

Interesting experiment good for them creating controversy. Although I'd definitely question their control groups. Say the wifi control group got hotter hence more anaerobic growth and pathogens multiplied which caused the problem.

I think we can all agree that the scientific process followed by some I wish I wasn't stuck in this place when can we go shopping and hang at the movies club was far less than exemplary. The topic(s) and possible repercussions brought about by true curiousity of a young mind seeking answers to what they see as a potential health concern is however inspiring. Even more inspiring is the project and results are leading to the theory being questioned and researched by other more professional scientists who indeed are now curious as to the potential ramifications of such technologies.

I would like to see studies done on things like bees or insects in general. As well as mammals, sealife, and a plethora of plant species. It could be that we are inadvertantly influencing more than we know. Anyone remember those old cellphones you had to carry around in a bag? How about the chrome plated 57 chevy style microwaves? Our generations saw many technological advancements which are exponentially growing and branching. With such a rapid pace of advancement in such a small timeframe how could we really know what longterm impacts such technology brings about especially with such widespread use of it as it becomes trendy, convient, or even a "necessity"?

Final question. How many really believe those intrested in making a profit also have the worlds safety and generational securities best intrest in the heart?

"Um... yeah sure of course we tested it. It passed! What test? Well...er...you know we had all the 23 letter word reading people write it up in a nice 500,000 page syllabus for you here check it out..."

Five ninth-grade young women from Denmark

I dunno if anyone pointed this out but... I wouldn't think ninth graders would be considered women, I would call them girls
