1275667 2012-05-16 21:41:00 Have a wireless router in there, disable the wireless and ask if she can feel it. Or secretly plant one in there and don't tell her it's there and see if she is "irritated"I've thought of doing exactly that. Tony (4941)
1275668 2012-05-16 21:42:00 If she says she feels them, then she feels them!

My head feels different after I have been using the mobile for a call (the longer the call duration, the weirder my head feels - a kind of hardness around the side of my head where the phone had been).Maybe you need to be more choosy who you have a conversation with? :D :D

1275669 2012-05-16 22:01:00 I was going to stay out of this one but what the hell . Maybe some people are sensitive to this stuff, but alarm sensors I thought were passive devices and emitted nothing . . . . Anyway how does she deal with neighbours having wireless devices, garage door openers, the radiation from CFL lights and microwave ovens etc . Clock radios are actually often very strong sources of EMF for some reason, does she have one of those?

If she only detects devices she's already aware of and doesn't notice all the other sources of EMF then it's probably pychological, people convince themselves of all kinds of things and then their minds manufacture the sensations to match making it very real to them . Heaven help anyone trying to convince them they are mistaken though .
It's like all the uproar over cell sites near schools, just because they are big and obvious people object to them even though the fluorescent lighting in the classroom is a many times stronger source of EMF they sit under every day . (no big deal to put the site somewhere else though I guess) .

She'd hate my house, I live right next to a power pylon with 110KV lines . When I moved in I was left a document with radiation readings taken at various locations around the property and a list of the common emmissions of various household devices .

You'd be amazed at what some of the sources you'd not usually consider are and just how completely exposed to this stuff anyone living in a house with electricity is . For example do you have a power point in our bedroom and do the wires run through the walls? I'm guessing yes . Whenever power flows through that it acts as a transmitting aerial, just like every other electrical device in your house .

1275670 2012-05-16 22:48:00 My mother had a gas oven which, if you put your head in it, you could hear the local radio station. Trouble was that no-one could listen for very long. Richard (739)

1275672 2012-05-16 23:21:00 It amazes me that there can still be people like this in today's world. It's not hard to look up a few scientific facts if you missed it all at school. But people persist in wanting to believe stuff. Ghosts, gods, "energies", crystals, magnets, alien abductions, herbal "cures", animal part "cures", and so on.

They are nutjobs.

What, theres no Aliens? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Actually if you dont believe in god then you must believe in life of other planets

must I? really?
That doesn't necessarily follow. I can believe whatever I want regardless of any other beliefs I might have, so can anyone else.
In any case pctek mentioned alien abductions not whether or not aliens existed, two completely different things.

People like to have answers, and when there are no satisfactory answers they sometimes turn to relegion or aother alternative theories for them. Accepting that we don't and can't know the how and why of everything seems to terrify some people as does the Idea that maybe when we die that's it, game over, no afterlife.

As with God, I'll believe in Aliens when I see them. Just imagining things are real doesn't work for me.
