Video showing dangers of cell phone use popped
In case you haven't already seen it, here's the video that everyone was abuzz about on the internet several weeks ago. In it, several cell phones are placed next to popcorn kernels on a table. Then, the people in the video coordinate their cell phones to make them ring at the same time. That's when the supposed radiation magic happens. Within seconds, the kernels begin popping, springing to life as they leap off the table.
Could it be? Is there truly enough radiation and heat given off by a cell phone to pop kernels of popcorn? And if so, what implications does that have on our health?
Not much, say researchers. As a physicist interviewed on the popular techie site Wired states, "The videos are cute ... but that's never going to happen." Still, you have to admit that if it's a hoax, it's a pretty good one.

That's very clearly fake.
