From what 5G really is, to what it really means, and whether it's really something that we should be tinkering with if it could indeed endanger human lives. Join us as explore The Science Of Why 5G Is (Almost) Certainly Safe For Humans! Subscribe for more videos:
Ok, so there's little doubt that between commercials, advertisements, and more, you've heard about 5G in some way shape or form. And to the casual technology buff you'd likely think that it's just an "improvement" on the current system (which is 4G or 4G LTE) and that it can only make things better for you, right? And you would be mostly right in that effect. It won't be an immediate change, but rather, a gradual one that takes place over a set of years.
Just as 4G networks are able to provide mobile internet speeds hundreds of times faster than 3G — enabling users worldwide to stream HD TV, browse webpages quickly, and even make high-quality video calls (as well as a host of other things like streaming, editing various projects and more) — the advent of 5G will enable speeds of up to 100 Gigabits per second: up to 100 times faster than 4G.
That's BLAZING fast speeds, for real.
With each new generation of WiFi that comes out, a new wave of fear-mongering health claims emerges. They always come along with the same arguments:
1. Humans have never been exposed to this much of this type of radiation before, which is technically true. 2. Scientists have not demonstrated that the proposed new infrastructure won't be harmful to humans, which is also true in a way, but not in the one you're expecting. 3. The World Health Organization has already declared radio-frequency (WiFi) radiation to be "possibly cancerous," which is a bit tricky to talk about in and of itself. And 4. We should declare a moratorium on this technology until its safety has been established.
All of these complaints are fairly reasonable, and even logical. Especially given that the World Health Organization is one of the people asking for caution in this matter. And unlike certain world leaders, most people on the "ground floor" respect the views of the WHO. So it makes you wonder if these people complaining about 5G...kind of have a point.
Fortunately for all of us, science already tells us that 5G almost certainly poses no danger to humans. Unless you value unfounded conspiracies over bona fide science, which I'm sure some of you out there are all about, no judgments here. Still, science does show that 5G is going to be safe as long as it's used in the same way that 3G and 4G have been used in the past.
To truly understand the science and fears behind 5G, you have to understand the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum.
While you're typically only aware of your interactions with optical (visible) and infrared (heat) radiation, there's much more that's constantly interacting with your body. There are lower-energy signals such as microwaves, with wavelength between a millimeter and a meter, bombard us constantly here on Earth. Microwave radiation includes a mix of natural signals like atmospheric molecules, astronomical signals, and even the leftover glow from the Big Bang, coupled with human-made radio, radar, satellite, bluetooth, GPS and broadband signals.
You might even recall science class where it's noted that one of the reasons we're able to live here on Earth is that the radiation from the sun is reflected, absorbed, or only reaches the ground in partial form because of the atmosphere and magnetosphere that surround the planet. Because of them, we only get partial bursts of radiation from things like the sun. But, of course, if you stay out too long in the hot sun, you get a sunburn because of radiation. Always use sunblock.
The point is, radiation is everywhere even when you don't realize it. And...it also includes all WiFi signals, including 3G, 4G and 5G.

Amidst the menagerie of signals and radiation bursts are things that aren't detectible in various ways, things like ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray light.
