Are microwaves safe at all?
http://rense.com/general70/microwaved.htm
Below is a sience fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006. In it she took filered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.

Bizarre results. Don't know what should cause the difference.

Oh thanks Merika, you just ruined my whole lifestye.
Now how do I heat up those plastic containers without melting the plastic?

Take a large plastic container. Put Adonai and someone else, of the opposite gender in it. Generate some action. Done.

OMG, that is huge. Can't say I didn't expect it.
I am not using one because I don't have one - I use a normal microwave. It's much slower, but I like it that way  .

WOW that's really interesting, i love it. What an intelligent little girl, good experiment. I'm taking on a Chemistry minor now Merika i'll try to figure out what caused this and let ya know. I'll see if my instructors know anything too? There could be several reasons as to why this happens such as changing the atomic structure of molecules with the microwaves etc... I'll bet the real reason though is that the CO2 was physically changed by the microwaves. CO2 is very important for plant growth and sugar production (which is what plants use for respiration and need for energy production, it's like oxygen for us). She could have suffocated the plant to death, lol. We see something similar happen in the atmosphere where the suns rays, which include microwaves, bombard CO2, Nitrogen, Oxygen etc... etc... etc... the waves (which are just essentally heat from the sun) tend to change the atomic/molecular structure of some chemicals very easily. Funny enough, this is why atomic dating processess on earth dosen't work either (ie. carboin dating), the amount and type of rays from the sun affects the chemicals changing them from one chemical to another and the amount of Oxygen in the atmosphere makes for variables that couldn't have been known a few thousand of years ago, mainly cause of the Ozone thickness (the thickness would affect the dating process). Microwaves can hurt people but not after the inital exposure, so i don't think there is anything to worry about, your microwave prolly won't hurt you, LOL. Kudos to your grandaughter though, terrific experiment!!

My granddaughter isn't that old. I just copied the article from another site I was reading on.
I thought maybe the microwaves themself changed the water.

DoH, i thought it was your gradaughter, sorry i misunderstood guess i should have read it a little slower, LOL.
Oh but it is changing the water on an atomic/molecular level. You wouldn't see any change from the boiled water because it wasn't changing the atomic/molecular structure of the water it was just heating it, however, the microwaves are changing the structure physically. See the microwave uses light to heat the water and the oven just uses energy to heat the water. The light breaks chemical bonds and the other will not. However what i think is really interesting is that the plant died, this suggests something chemically happened to the water causing the plant to die...

I don't need a microwave to have my plants look like that.
