Zheng Zhu

Zheng Zhu So I wrote a response, but Facebook thinks it’s too long so I’m going to post it in pieces. Piece 1 is below.

I don’t usually respond to threads like these, but since I’m on winter break and bored out of my mind, I decided to investigate your claim. I also did it out of scientific curiosity. Maybe you have a point and that radio signals do affect the body differently from how I’d expect it to.

Note that this is rather long, so tl;dr:
I argue, a bit lazily, that it’s unlikely that radio signals can actually cause tissue or genetic damage considering it’s so weak. The Gonzalez link doesn’t hold much water, and I don’t think that Joe Imbriano or Diane King are actually affiliated with Troy and I think they may even be fake accounts.

The first sanity check I looked at was how radio signals are absorbed by body tissues. The human body is relatively opaque to visible light so it may be that despite radio waves being a hundred thousand (100,000) times less energetic than visible light, they can penetrate deeper.[1] Unfortunately I couldn’t find an absorption spectrum for different tissues that goes up to the required wavelength (10,000,000 nm!). However I did find a Wikipedia article detailing how terahertz radiation is used in medical imaging.[2] I didn’t want to have to cite Wikipedia, but I figured that if you had a complaint about my process, then you would show me some competing scientific evidence. Anyways, you’ll find that terahertz radiation gets to a penetration of “several millimeters.” It also states that it’s reflected by tissue of low water content, so fat and bone would both reflect it. Wikipedia also states that is could be useful in the detection of epithelial cancer, or cancers of the type of tissue that line blood vessels and other ducts in the human body.

“But wait!” you might say. “That proves my point! If it can be used to help detect epithelial cancer then it can cause it too!” Well no. It allows detection because the photons are reflected by the epithelium. However, tissue damage occurs when the photon is absorbed and the absorbing material is ionized. So terahertz radiation actually doesn’t cause tissue damage. We can also see that terahertz radiation is much more energetic than radio waves, which are still the main topic of discussion. In fact, radio waves are usually described in gigahertz (10^9 Hz) compared to terahertz (10^12 Hz).

Now you may argue that my last argument isn’t a good one, and you’d be right. I argued that something more energetic doesn’t cause tissue damage so radio waves shouldn’t either. That argument implicitly assumes that if higher energy radiation can’t do damage, then lower energy radiation can’t either. That’s not necessarily a good assumption though you might argue. That’s also a fair point, so let’s get on to your actual link.

Zheng Zhu I took a look at the Jimmy Gonzalez link [3], and here’s a summary of it for those who don’t care to spend 8 minutes of their life doing so themselves.
1) Gonzalez has 3 scars from cancer surgeries, one on his wrist, one where his aortic bifurcation is (or as he claims, where his phone sat in his suit pocket), and one is behind his ear. The scars aren’t shown on camera so it’s not possible to verify but we’ll take his word on that.
2) Gonzalez compares radio waves to cigarettes from 30 years ago, saying that there are industry-funded studies showing that radio frequency radiation isn’t a problem.
3) Gonzalez claims that there’s a booklet that comes with your phone that states that you should keep your phone 10 mm away from your body (or as he says “1 inch”) at all times.
4) Gonzalez ends by citing some resources related to the topic, some of which have his name attached. He then goes on to compel people to vote for “keeping cellphones away from their bodies.”
Let’s take a look now shall we:
1) Gonzalez never actually explicitly states that his cancer was CAUSED by cellphones. He only every strongly implies it by CORRELATING the locations of his surgeries with the locations that he was likely to keep his cellphone. For one thing, one data point means little to nothing. Additionally, CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION! That’s the cardinal rule of statistics, and /s it’s rumored that in ancient times, statisticians who violated this sacred principle were fed to the dogs. Also, it doesn’t help his claim that his cellphone probably was nowhere near the aortic bifurcation. He claims that his cellphone was “in [his] suit pocket,” which is supposed to correlate to his surgery near his aortic bifurcation. If you actually look at a diagram of where the aortic bifurcation is,[4] (Wikipedia again. Apologies to all actual researchers in the world.) you’ll find that it’s below and between your kidneys. As far as I know, no suits have a pocket near or below your belly button, and the suit Gonzalez wore at the testimony didn’t seem to either.
2) That’s just a comparison to draw on people’s fear and emotions. It’s not even a testable hypothesis.
3) I actually accepted his challenge and looked through the information for the Nexus 5 phone.[5] Nowhere does it say that I must keep it 10 mm away from my body, though it cite SAR (specific absorption rate) values during use at 10 mm distance from the body. Interestingly the value for use by the ear doesn’t have a distance associated with it. Hearing him talk about the iPhone 5, I also took the liberty to look at Apple’s values. Apple actually explained their process a bit more.[6] Their value for use by the ear was obtained by simulating use with the phone pressed against the ear. Their value for the body was also obtained at a 10 mm distance. Apple also adds a cautionary word though, that to keep it at the tested levels, one should carry the phone 10 mm away from the body. This flies directly against Gonzalez’s claim that it should be kept 10 mm away from any part of your body at all times. To be completely accurate though, I should say that his claim was for the phone to be kept 1 inch away from all parts of your body, and to get that, he claims that 10 mm is approximately 1 inch. It’s not. 10 mm is approximately 0.4 inches.[7] Besides his atrocious unit conversion, there is some substance to his claim. However, the warning should be more akin to “try to keep your phone’s radio frequency transmitter less than 0.4 inches away from your body to keep it below a legal limit with questionable origin.”
4) Most of his arguments and claims don’t hold water so again, not much discussion.I haven’t looked at the other claim, and I don’t feel a particular compulsion to anymore considering how bad the first link is. Now to end with the obligatory ad hominem argument.Diane King, I find it odd that even though your profile claims that you attended Claremont Graduate College, that I couldn’t find any trace of you on the internet. No PhD thesis, no Master’s thesis, not even a mention of your name on anything related to Claremont Graduate College. I did find someone with your same name on another questionable website who also claims to have attended Claremont Graduate College, but that profile claims to have attended UCLA College of Letters and Sciences while your Facebook profile claims to have attended Cal State Long Beach. I also looked around your profile and you’re friends with Joe Imbriano. What’s more is that both of you seem to share an interest in the same links, all of which use fearmongering to argue a scientifically dubious point. I wonder if your profiles are actually fake, or even run by the same organization that runs the Fullerton Informer. All in all, I find it a little difficult to believe that either you or Joe Imbriano are in any way associated with Troy High School. If you are not, please refrain from posting nonsense here.Reference[1] See http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ems2.html

Zheng Zhu To be honest, I skimmed your letter’s reference list. Not a single one of them comes from a reliable source. They all come from random websites that are necessarily biased towards getting radio frequency radiation out of schools, which is in itself a ridiculous intention. (Radios were invented ages ago and no one seems to complain nearly as much about those even though they’re essentially using the same technology as Wi-Fi). I don’t know where you’re getting NASA and the USAF but I don’t seen any linked research from either organization. I suggest using the source research papers to support your claims, not random politically driven websites.

Also, just a note for you in the future, just because a person has a PhD doesn’t mean they are a knowledgeable or even a reliable source. Heck, Nobel Laureates in the past were supporting eugenics. This is why appeal to ethos, along with appeal to logos, are not acceptable forms of proof in the scientific community.

Joe Imbriano

Joe Imbriano as a school district employee-you have a vested interest in all of this

Soham Patel

Soham Patel The only reason we say it’s riddled with autism is because we have learned how to properly diagnose children from a young age. Autism has not been on the rise because of these EMR nor is it caused by it. I will however not disagree that there are developmental hinderances observed in classrooms such as decrease in motor proficiency due to increased use of touch screen technology. But again, that is because of the tech culture we are in. Our scientific community has learned how to better diagnose autism and work with the families as well. And to the OP (Joe Imbriano was it?) the Fullerton Informer has been disproved multiple times and is citing from questionable sources

Joe Imbriano

Joe Imbriano Soham Patel cite the questionable sources in the demand letter please Mr. Patel.

Soham Patel

Soham Patel From a scientific standpoint, the effect of wifi on the human brain is nonexistent and this is one of the first things discussed in a Chem class at Troy high school. Our H and AP Chem teacher Mrs. Regli even provides scientific evidence and encouragesus to discover this for our own. And again, if you look at others comments, you can see how many loose ends and lack of specificity and elaboration there is in many of the Fullerton Informer.

Soham Patel

Anna Bathgate Every single source that is not from a medical journal that has been peer reviewed and replicated would be a questionable source.

Zheng Zhu So I wrote a response, but Facebook thinks it’s too long so I’m going to post it in pieces. Piece 1 is below.

I don’t usually respond to threads like these, but since I’m on winter break and bored out of my mind, I decided to investigate your claim. I also did it out of scientific curiosity. Maybe you have a point and that radio signals do affect the body differently from how I’d expect it to.

Note that this is rather long, so tl;dr:
I argue, a bit lazily, that it’s unlikely that radio signals can actually cause tissue or genetic damage considering it’s so weak. The Gonzalez link doesn’t hold much water, and I don’t think that Joe Imbriano or Diane King are actually affiliated with Troy and I think they may even be fake accounts.

The first sanity check I looked at was how radio signals are absorbed by body tissues. The human body is relatively opaque to visible light so it may be that despite radio waves being a hundred thousand (100,000) times less energetic than visible light, they can penetrate deeper.[1] Unfortunately I couldn’t find an absorption spectrum for different tissues that goes up to the required wavelength (10,000,000 nm!). However I did find a Wikipedia article detailing how terahertz radiation is used in medical imaging.[2] I didn’t want to have to cite Wikipedia, but I figured that if you had a complaint about my process, then you would show me some competing scientific evidence. Anyways, you’ll find that terahertz radiation gets to a penetration of “several millimeters.” It also states that it’s reflected by tissue of low water content, so fat and bone would both reflect it. Wikipedia also states that is could be useful in the detection of epithelial cancer, or cancers of the type of tissue that line blood vessels and other ducts in the human body.

“But wait!” you might say. “That proves my point! If it can be used to help detect epithelial cancer then it can cause it too!” Well no. It allows detection because the photons are reflected by the epithelium. However, tissue damage occurs when the photon is absorbed and the absorbing material is ionized. So terahertz radiation actually doesn’t cause tissue damage. We can also see that terahertz radiation is much more energetic than radio waves, which are still the main topic of discussion. In fact, radio waves are usually described in gigahertz (10^9 Hz) compared to terahertz (10^12 Hz).

Now you may argue that my last argument isn’t a good one, and you’d be right. I argued that something more energetic doesn’t cause tissue damage so radio waves shouldn’t either. That argument implicitly assumes that if higher energy radiation can’t do damage, then lower energy radiation can’t either. That’s not necessarily a good assumption though you might argue. That’s also a fair point, so let’s get on to your actual link.

Zheng Zhu I took a look at the Jimmy Gonzalez link [3], and here’s a summary of it for those who don’t care to spend 8 minutes of their life doing so themselves.
1) Gonzalez has 3 scars from cancer surgeries, one on his wrist, one where his aortic bifurcation is (or as he claims, where his phone sat in his suit pocket), and one is behind his ear. The scars aren’t shown on camera so it’s not possible to verify but we’ll take his word on that.
2) Gonzalez compares radio waves to cigarettes from 30 years ago, saying that there are industry-funded studies showing that radio frequency radiation isn’t a problem.
3) Gonzalez claims that there’s a booklet that comes with your phone that states that you should keep your phone 10 mm away from your body (or as he says “1 inch”) at all times.
4) Gonzalez ends by citing some resources related to the topic, some of which have his name attached. He then goes on to compel people to vote for “keeping cellphones away from their bodies.”
Let’s take a look now shall we:
1) Gonzalez never actually explicitly states that his cancer was CAUSED by cellphones. He only every strongly implies it by CORRELATING the locations of his surgeries with the locations that he was likely to keep his cellphone. For one thing, one data point means little to nothing. Additionally, CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION! That’s the cardinal rule of statistics, and /s it’s rumored that in ancient times, statisticians who violated this sacred principle were fed to the dogs. Also, it doesn’t help his claim that his cellphone probably was nowhere near the aortic bifurcation. He claims that his cellphone was “in [his] suit pocket,” which is supposed to correlate to his surgery near his aortic bifurcation. If you actually look at a diagram of where the aortic bifurcation is,[4] (Wikipedia again. Apologies to all actual researchers in the world.) you’ll find that it’s below and between your kidneys. As far as I know, no suits have a pocket near or below your belly button, and the suit Gonzalez wore at the testimony didn’t seem to either.
2) That’s just a comparison to draw on people’s fear and emotions. It’s not even a testable hypothesis.
3) I actually accepted his challenge and looked through the information for the Nexus 5 phone.[5] Nowhere does it say that I must keep it 10 mm away from my body, though it cite SAR (specific absorption rate) values during use at 10 mm distance from the body. Interestingly the value for use by the ear doesn’t have a distance associated with it. Hearing him talk about the iPhone 5, I also took the liberty to look at Apple’s values. Apple actually explained their process a bit more.[6] Their value for use by the ear was obtained by simulating use with the phone pressed against the ear. Their value for the body was also obtained at a 10 mm distance. Apple also adds a cautionary word though, that to keep it at the tested levels, one should carry the phone 10 mm away from the body. This flies directly against Gonzalez’s claim that it should be kept 10 mm away from any part of your body at all times. To be completely accurate though, I should say that his claim was for the phone to be kept 1 inch away from all parts of your body, and to get that, he claims that 10 mm is approximately 1 inch. It’s not. 10 mm is approximately 0.4 inches.[7] Besides his atrocious unit conversion, there is some substance to his claim. However, the warning should be more akin to “try to keep your phone’s radio frequency transmitter less than 0.4 inches away from your body to keep it below a legal limit with questionable origin.”
4) Most of his arguments and claims don’t hold water so again, not much discussion.I haven’t looked at the other claim, and I don’t feel a particular compulsion to anymore considering how bad the first link is. Now to end with the obligatory ad hominem argument.Diane King, I find it odd that even though your profile claims that you attended Claremont Graduate College, that I couldn’t find any trace of you on the internet. No PhD thesis, no Master’s thesis, not even a mention of your name on anything related to Claremont Graduate College. I did find someone with your same name on another questionable website who also claims to have attended Claremont Graduate College, but that profile claims to have attended UCLA College of Letters and Sciences while your Facebook profile claims to have attended Cal State Long Beach. I also looked around your profile and you’re friends with Joe Imbriano. What’s more is that both of you seem to share an interest in the same links, all of which use fearmongering to argue a scientifically dubious point. I wonder if your profiles are actually fake, or even run by the same organization that runs the Fullerton Informer. All in all, I find it a little difficult to believe that either you or Joe Imbriano are in any way associated with Troy High School. If you are not, please refrain from posting nonsense here.

Zheng Zhu To be honest, I skimmed your letter’s reference list. Not a single one of them comes from a reliable source. They all come from random websites that are necessarily biased towards getting radio frequency radiation out of schools, which is in itself a ridiculous intention. (Radios were invented ages ago and no one seems to complain nearly as much about those even though they’re essentially using the same technology as Wi-Fi). I don’t know where you’re getting NASA and the USAF but I don’t seen any linked research from either organization. I suggest using the source research papers to support your claims, not random politically driven websites.

Also, just a note for you in the future, just because a person has a PhD doesn’t mean they are a knowledgeable or even a reliable source. Heck, Nobel Laureates in the past were supporting eugenics. This is why appeal to ethos, along with appeal to logos, are not acceptable forms of proof in the scientific community.

Joe Imbriano

Joe Imbriano as a school district employee-you have a vested interest in all of this

Soham Patel

Soham Patel The only reason we say it’s riddled with autism is because we have learned how to properly diagnose children from a young age. Autism has not been on the rise because of these EMR nor is it caused by it. I will however not disagree that there are developmental hinderances observed in classrooms such as decrease in motor proficiency due to increased use of touch screen technology. But again, that is because of the tech culture we are in. Our scientific community has learned how to better diagnose autism and work with the families as well. And to the OP (Joe Imbriano was it?) the Fullerton Informer has been disproved multiple times and is citing from questionable sources

Joe Imbriano

Joe Imbriano Soham Patel cite the questionable sources in the demand letter please Mr. Patel.

Soham Patel

Soham Patel From a scientific standpoint, the effect of wifi on the human brain is nonexistent and this is one of the first things discussed in a Chem class at Troy high school. Our H and AP Chem teacher Mrs. Regli even provides scientific evidence and encouragesus to discover this for our own. And again, if you look at others comments, you can see how many loose ends and lack of specificity and elaboration there is in many of the Fullerton Informer.

Soham Patel

Anna Bathgate Every single source that is not from a medical journal that has been peer reviewed and replicated would be a questionable source. Your PH.D. wrote a letter and stated that on children that already have learning disabilities they may then be made worse. Not that the wifi causes the disability. He also stated there is a lot of literature but said literature does not in itself mean anything other than qualitative observations rather than quantitative replicable studies.

    wireless networks we use to access cloud services will command around 90% of the energy needed to power the entire wireless cloud services ecosystem….This is an increase in carbon footprint from 6 megatonnes of CO2 in 2012 to up to 30 megatonnes of CO2 in 2015, the equivalent of adding 4.9 million cars to the roads.
