  • Hey OP, I looked through the paper you linked in another comment (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00484-013-0660-0) I am unsure if you know but you can access the full thing through Scihub. Look at 2d and h, and look at the error bars around these lines. According to this data maybe it increases risk, but almost just as likely it decreases risk. I think we can be quick to dismiss things that don’t fit into our current scientific understanding. If you’re asking this purely because you are curious and want to know, the answer could be: maybe? It’s hard to really say there are so many other variables ans the effect is clearly quite minor. The authors offer some potential meganisms in their discussion.

    If you’re asking because you are concernes for your health, or someone is trying to sell you something, the only reasonable answer is no. As the paper says temperature and pressure give way more signifcant effects, are you going to live in a controlled atmosphere the rest of your life, or control this in some other way? And consider as others have mentioned the mri machine, it gives a way stronger magnetic signal, and hospitals use it on people that already have bad hearts. If there was really an effect doctors all over the world would have noticed don’t you think?





  • I wrote a bunch below, but I think most of them are probably aimed at a bit older audience, but I figured I would still post it as I really enjoy the channels and perhaps someone will like them :) (I think minute earth and Steve Mould could be suited for someone a bit younger)

    • For biology I really enjoy ‘Sage the Bad Naturalist’
    • for engineering ‘Stuff made Here’
    • physics/electricity ‘alpha phoenix’ (I think his videos are quite technical but they are really good)
    • Generally interesting/physics ‘Steve Mould’
    • Minute physics, Minute Earth and Minute food
    • For math ‘3blue1brown’








  • He did actually, even after losing whomever the greeks were fighting (Persians?), they send some boats up river to Athens, presumably to tell the city they won and extort whatever they could. So it was important that the Athenians knew the battle was won before the boats arrived.
