The changes in the brain are due to the intense spike in linguistic creativity. Constant, fast-paced language without any visual cues requires much more interpretation than face-to-face conversation. #cellphones
If the phones mess us up by us placing them up against our ear, what would happen if we implanted them inside ourselves and have them closer to our brains? Wouldnt that put more radiation closer to our brains? Or would there be a ultra low radiation model implanted? #cellphones
@KTK1990: Quick correction, your idea is good except cellphones don't exactly emit "radiation," but just radio waves from the electromagnetic spectrum. Radiation if the emission of particles from a decaying atom.
@jseifer16: Alternating electromagnetic fields are still radiation. Up to ultraviolet light frequencies (300nm?) it's non-ionizing and doesn't have the biological effects associated with higher frequency ionizing radiation like x-rays and cosmic rays. But it's still radiation. #cellphones
@KTK1990: Let those guys argue about what is and isn't radiation.... I think you are asking about the risk of putting cell phones closer to your brain: That's a good point! However, it would matter where the antenna is. You could have the entire phone embedded in you and have the antenna external so that the majority of the nonionizing electromagnetic radiation is further away from the body. #cellphones
This is why, no matter how crazy it looks, I use my iPhone headphones 95% of the time when making a call. Strive to keep the phone away from your precious people! #cellphones
@Sam: Hahahha, I knew someone would misinterpret my statement that way.
But to answer your question, no. I take advantage of 'intensity' as it relates to the electromagnetic spectrum and keep the phone on a Contour Showcase hip holster (as geeky as it may be). Plus, my hip muscle/connective/nervous/epithelial tissue helps attenuate the signal before its reaches the ball of Krypton. #cellphones
@TheSonOfKrypton: Also, if you are the son of Krypton... Why is your phone so near to your dear fathers ball...? You know what. Never mind. I don't need to know. #cellphones
Usually graphic designers are the ones that make you say "Wow!" Sometimes, though, they are definitely the ones that make you say "What the hell? Why?" #earthquake
When the S waves hit the outer-core, they should refract and create P waves at the boundary. when those hit the opposite boundary of the core, they will refract again and create a S wave making a final SKS wave. #earthquake
just wait til this tech hits the household, and droves of people download and compile organisms that will, say, secrete opiates or blow you, or both. #syntheticbiology
Clearly the only way to resolve the science vs. religion/conservatism argument is to create an army of cloned Jesus... Jesuses... Jesi? Finally, we will all be united by this most holy of blasphemies. #syntheticbiology

The F-15 (12.3 miles high) looks higher than the balloon (20.8 miles). And they both look higher than the 32.9 mile-high balloon. #earthquake

Ask the monkeys the same question :D
The interesting thing is that the astronauts are the ones who volunteered.
Anyway, I think a better question:
"Would you prefer 27 monkeys dying in experiments, or 27 monkeys as desert?"
Ah, dessert! Chilled monkey brains. #radiationtests

so later, you will have a whole bunch of laws broken,
but we will advance twice as fast.
Seriously, the experiment is waiting to happen, ether now or later. We need to know if space travel and life is possible. #radiationtests

So it would be a double experiment.
Or, double something #radiationtests
