From Bell’s Photophone to the Light Age: How Wireless Took a Wrong Turn — and How We Correct It

This RF Safe commentary argues that wireless communications “took a wrong turn” by prioritizing radiofrequency/microwave transmission over light-based approaches, citing Alexander Graham Bell’s 1880 photophone as an alternative model. It suggests that widespread, continuous RF exposure in modern environments is…

Fermi‑paradox: Hertzification as a Great Filter

This RF Safe commentary proposes a speculative “bioelectric hypothesis” for the Fermi paradox: that widespread, continuous use of man-made radiofrequency/microwave emissions (“hertzification”) could act as a slow “Great Filter” that causes technological civilizations to decline or go silent. The author argues that…

A comprehensive mechanism of biological and health effects of anthropogenic extremely low frequency and wireless communication electromagnetic fields

This narrative review discusses biological mechanisms and reported health effects of anthropogenic extremely low frequency (ELF) and wireless communication (WC) electromagnetic fields. It highlights oxidative stress and DNA damage as key mechanistic endpoints and proposes an IFO-VGIC pathway linking EMF exposure to…

Electromagnetic fields and DNA damage

This review discusses the comet assay and summarizes research on non-ionizing EMF exposure and DNA/chromosomal damage. It describes both positive and negative findings across studies, noting no consistent overall pattern for radiofrequency radiation (RFR). The authors nonetheless conclude that under certain exposure…
