2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

This could use some real help. Like a reason why it's even on-mission? ħumanUser talk:Human 08:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

"(beyond which is Terahertz radiation and the longer, infrared wavelengths of light)" pure garbage - longer wavelengths are lower frequency. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I see now. Just really badly written, as in IR is even shorter wavelength than microwaves. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I have one question / argument to refute. The Anti- EMF Crowd argues that by sheer number of Wi-Fi hotspots in use in one area such as an apartment regardless of their small emissions and short wavelengths These many Wi-Fi emissions pile up to become harmful. Is this considerable, or is this unfounded and Radiation doesn’t work like that? -An Anon.

I guess as well the classic: How close should you be to your router argument we should address as well.
