OK. A friend and I have made a discovery. It’s not particularly earth shattering but I thought I would share it with you all anyway ![]()
After all, that’s what this BLOG is for; transmitting useless information from person to person and hopefully keeping us all interested.
Have you ever had your mobile phone on in the car when a call is coming in whilst listening to the radio, or you move between transmitter coverage? If you have you’ll know that just before the phone rings there’s a helleaciously loud crackling noise heard through the speakers. You can also get this effect if you are on your home phone and a call comes in on the mobile, if they are near each other. Now we know this is caused by the interference of two conflicting radio signals, so it’s some sort of electromagnetic disturbance but I’m not a rocket scientist so don’t ask for any details.
Now we have noticed that we both often reach for our phones randomly, only to find that in the next few seconds the phone rings, or receives a message. From this we are guessing that the phone’s radio signal is causing a similar sort of electromagnetic interference – in our brains. (well in my friends brain, I’m more of the scarecrow type).
Anybody else notice anything similar – that feeling of going for the phone, only for it to ring as you reach for it? Or are we just a couple of freaks? ![]()
If this is happening, and it’s not our fevered imaginations, then what does that do to the theories of damage from mobile phones? We’re told not to worry but if we really are experiencing some sort of EME (electromagnetic event) isn’t this just a little bit significant?
Not that it worries me, my phone is my lifeline and quite essential and I’ll live with the risk of damage – hell maybe I’ll be able to sue the manufacturers to help fund my future retirement…..
Anything similar happened to anyone else out there?
