When the charges are moving one way it's a +ve current and -ve if the other way. Microwaves are microwaves, there only differences are the power and frequency.</p> <p> </p> <p>In terms of what this guy's saying, microwaves only heat up food because they make polar molecules (like water) vibrate. They don't do anything to the internal workings of the molecule (unless it gets hot enough to break up).</p> <p> </p> <p>Simply put, microwaves don't have enough energy to cause 'chemical' changes in atoms. This is how UV, XRay and Gamma causes cancer, by altering the chemistry of DNA molecules in your cells. There's no way microwaves can do that. It's possible that there may be another, more complicated mechanism that could be activated by them, but I doubt it.</p></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=38134.23&return_msg=38134.19" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="38134.23"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a38134_24"></a><div class="message" id="message_38134_24"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Monsoir (PILOTDAN)<span class="message_time">25 Jan 2011 12:15</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DrBoff (BOFF) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Jan 2011 17:38"></span></span> <span class="message_count">24 of 41</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38134.24">38134.24</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38134.19#a38134_23" target="_self">38134.23</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Essentially the difference between ionizing radiation and non?
