Oops… obviously, that should read “photon” instead of “proton”: If photons [not protons] can become paired and out-of-phase due to some kind of cavity resonance effect, such that one result of the pairing is that they can escape metal confinement, then almost every citizen is at risk from microwave ovens.
If you are old enough to remember Ralph Nader and the Corvair, another low point from that era was the microwave oven scare. Supposedly, this was debunked, but now … who knows. There certainly could be oven configurations which unknowingly promote photon-pairing more than others. Recently, there are reports of ovens with plastic windows, instead of glass windows, melting. This could be due to the spacing in the see-thru metal grids… who knows?
