Comment How similar to cell phones? How much radiation? (Score 1) 220
Did the researcher throw the rats into a microwave oven and cook them for a minute?
The article mentions that the rats were exposed to microwave radiation similar to that emitted by cell phones. How similar? How much radiation? Why didn't the researcher simply turn on a cell phone in the midst of the rats? Just put them in a small box with a couple of active cell phones. That seems easy enough. But that's not what the article says they did. The article only says they were exposed to microwave radiation somehow similar (how?) to cell phone radiation. For all we know the rats were thrown into a microwave oven. All this would prove is that you shouldn't put your head into a microwave oven right after you've finished studying for an exam.
