Hi guys,

Found this article full to the brim with logical fallacies and general bulls*it:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229069/Is-electro-smog-causing-headache.html

Which led me on to these people

Anyone with a good knowledge of physics care to debunk at least one of their claims? Obviously I can't be sure that they're talking rubbish but the article in the daily fail leads me to believe that they have very poor evidence to back up their claims.

O K starting again, just posted a very long piece on the article you have posted LYM.and then lost it, this, is the extent of my own technology my computer. I freely admit I do not understand all and in some cases anything that I read but I do try and fatham things out for myself.To think of all those waves flitting through the air gives me the heebie jeebies, I would have to agree with the French on this one and that is not easy for me to say, but I digress, can the air be truly safe around us with all and sundry hanging around in it. From a lay womans line of thought leave well alone.

From what I can tell, most of the skeptics are saying that wi-fi etc is just electromagnetic radiation the same as radio or visible light. Although I wouldn't just take other skeptics word for something, that seems a reasonable suggestion. Having said that obviously wi-fi can't be EXACTLY the same as visible light because somehow the wifi electromagnetic waves have to carry the information that my PC recieves.

I'm very likely wandering into psuedoscience with all this specualtion so I shall stop there.
