leslieu63: The message above is clearly nothing more than just another HOAX. I don’t know why people are circulating panic messages such as this to disturb the lives of other people. From what I have noticed, this message has been circulating since 2008 and it suddenly reappeared today, 16 August 2012. I also received text messages containing this false information and saw similar Facebook posts. I did my own research and I have found no credible reports that confirm the claims in the warning message. There are no references to such a threat listed on credible scientific websites. I also checked the
NASA and BBC news today to see if they have posted something like this. Fortunately, both have never said such a thing and will never probably produce a similar baseless statement. Despite the claim in the message, there are several reasons to say that this information is untrue. First, Mars could not emit harmful radiation because it is not a star. Cosmic rays are emitted by stars. i.e bodies that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors). Mars is neither. It is a planet that just reflects sunlight. It cannot emit cosmic radiation. Next, with regards to these rays the earth’s atmosphere is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry. The magnetosphere absorbs and protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. Whatever remains is too feeble to affect any thing as far as earth. Another thing is that we are actually
hit by cosmic rays every day — all day (and night too). If it was going to hurt your cell, then it would have already fried it by now. Sometimes magnetic storms on the
sun will fry the electronics of
satellites in orbit, and may also blow
out the power grid in high latitudes
near the Earth’s magnetic poles, but
other than static, I don’t see what it might do to your cell phones. So, to anyone who will receive this kind of message, please think it over and help educate others. Spreading dubious and unsubstantiated warnings such as this is counterproductive and is unlikely to help anyone.


please tell them

From update text, if you dance Etigi un.clad on the street, the ray will not affect you. So try that one. Warning// Don't try Azonto, it will double the effect and you are on your own.

That rumor has been around since years back.mars is a plane,it cannot emit or radiat any ray.only stars & d sun do.these r bodies that are undergoing nuclear reaction,that is fusion(as in d sun).but thank God for the magnetossphere that protects the earth from those radiations.
