I think, as a simple sanity test, one could put a few kernals is a small group (no oil) in the microwave, start it on high, and see how long it takes for one kernal to pop. If the microwave takes longer than the group of cell phones, then the video is fake.
Also, when the first kernal pops, do all the rest of the kernals just sit there, or are they scattered by the popping? I'll try this myself at home tonight. Usually, when I make popcorn in the microwave, I put a handful of corn and a long burst of spray-oil in a paper lunch bag, and it takes about 1 or 2 minutes for the thing to start popping. ~~James On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 3:23 PM, Robert Cordingley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So are there any facts on how much (microwave/EMR) radiation does it take to > pop corn and what do cell phones put out and why do you have to call the > cell phone to make it pop?
