Is 5G Spelling Our DOOM?! How EM Waves Can Hurt - Summary

Summary

The video discusses the misconceptions and fears surrounding 5G technology, particularly concerns about its potential health risks. It explains that 5G operates at higher frequencies than previous cellular technologies but is not ionizing and therefore cannot cause DNA damage or cancer. The video debunks myths about 5G causing pandemics or cooking people's organs, emphasizing that the only proven effect of radio frequency exposure is tissue heating, which is strictly regulated to avoid harm. The presenter also touches on how cells and DNA work, how mutations occur, and the body's defense mechanisms against cancer. Additionally, there's a promotion for Raycon earbuds.

Facts

Here are the key facts extracted from the text:

1. 5G is the fifth generation of cellular networking technology.
2. 5G uses a much higher frequency band than previous cellular technologies.
3. The frequency range for 4G (also known as LTE) is between 600 MHz and 6 GHz.
4. The frequency range for 5G can be as high as 300 GHz.
5. Microwave ovens cook food at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.
6. Visible light has a frequency range of 430 terahertz to 750 terahertz.
7. 5G frequencies are not ionizing and do not have enough energy to split DNA.
8. Ionizing radiations, such as UV light, X-rays, and gamma rays, can cause DNA mutations and cancer.
9. Non-ionizing radiations, such as radio waves and microwaves, can only heat up body tissues.
10. The energy of a photon is directly related to its frequency.
11. Photons with high enough energy can knock an electron out of an atom, causing ionization.
12. The minimum required ionization energy is around 3.9 electron volts.
13. DNA requires above five electron volts of energy to ionize.
14. The minimum photon frequency required to ionize DNA is around 1.2 thousand terahertz.
15. 5G frequencies are much lower than the minimum required to ionize DNA.
16. There is no observed correlation between burns and cancer.
17. UV radiation from sunlight can cause skin cancer.
18. Radio frequency bands have strict power limitations to ensure they do not warm up body tissues.
19. Electricity can cause nerve stimulation and chemical reactions in the body.
20. The body has natural protections against corrupted cells, including self-destruct systems and the immune system.
