Europe probe tests tech for detecting ripples in space time

BERLIN (AP) - The European Space Agency launched a rocket Thursday carrying two cubes of gold and platinum almost a million miles from Earth so scientists can see how they'll behave in a freefall - at a cost of more than $450 million.

What may sound like a frivolous enterprise is actually the prelude to a far more ambitious mission that hopes to measure ripples in space time caused by bla...

Apple Says Not to Keep Your Phone in Your Pocket

What do you think of the physics of this discussion?   Any truth to the danger risks described here??   Especially see the comments down below. Excellent discussion of hadrons vs atoms and effects on living tissues.  

It seems to me that there is enough evidence to be concerned -- not conclusive evidence and I'd love to see more independent research -- but perhaps enough to wear a goofy belt clip to avoid risks.  Maybe you should study this as part of your research??
