Letter to the editor of the day

John Cramer, professor emeritus of Physics and occasional science fiction writer, addresses the latest claim that cellphones cause brain cancer:

'Nowhere did the article ask a key question: Is there any plausible physical mechanism by which the electromagnetic microwave radiation from cellphones can possibly produce DNA damage leading to brain cancer?'

I'd just like to point out that lack of a plausible mechanism by which continents could move kept continental drift unjustly off the scientific consideration shelf for decades.

Cramer makes two specific arguments for why he doesn't think cellphones produce enough radiation to cause brain cancer. He could of course be wrong.
