I'm still not understanding that. Really. I don't know what "reaching us." If that's how much reaches us, can we divide that by the number of 5 foot squares on earth to determine how much hits one single person? Or is it already calculated out that way, or is that even relevant?
The statistic Chaz gave tells me nothing useful, it seems horribly out of context, a single ratio with a vague description.[/QUOTE]
The sun pumps out 386 billion million gigawatts into space, and earth gets 0.000000045% of the Sun's Energy which equals roughly 1.737 x 10^10 gigawatts
A nuclear power plant generates about
1 gigawatt and global energy
consumption is a few thousand (meaning we
generate about the same or less as a society).
The sun kicks our ass in terms of the tiny fraction of the EM energy we receive from it. So yeah I was wrong in that earlier post by like 1000 fold. The entire human population makes about 5.7 x 10^-8 % of the energy that shines down on us from the sun.
Bottom line: This guy absorbs a butt fuck ton more EM radiation from just stepping outside to pick up his newspaper on a sunny day than he does from his neighbor's D-Link router.
just good old unshielded electrical wire can be bad.
