Just thermodynamics? One of the most challenging areas of applied science, calibration-wise.
Last time I checked Newtonian mechanics had sort of lost its universal heft.

Sighs deeply.
No, Newtonian mechanics is as precise as it always has been for what it works brilliantly for. At the very large scale and the very small scale there are other models that work better, but there's a pretty good understanding of how these are related. None of which are relevant to, for example, sending a rocket into space.
At university we even had lectures on the concordance principle, which is how to understand why quantum phenomena result in what we observe using classical physics (including thermodynamics and Newtonian mechanics).
So, in the context of heating biological material by causing motion of polar molecules by irradiating with microwaves, there's nothing pertinent to learn about the radiative intensities we are all exposed to routinely. We already know that the induced motions are negligible compared to the thermal motions that are happening all the time anyway. There is a larger effect on your body when the sun comes out from behind a cloud.

Thanks mate, I'm not actually an ignoramus.
At university I actually had lectures on probability theory and stochastic processes as well as languages and history. My degree is in Engineering AND Humanities. I also have a PGCE in Design and Technology, and several advanced math courses from the OU under my belt.
There is often something actually pertinent to learn about things we tend to ignore and/or take for granted.
Please do not associate philosophical/scientific postulates soully with previously stated narrower matters.
Science is not a body of facts, it is an investigative method.

I dont think it helps to get into a my degree is better than your degree sort of a discussion. But to the extent that there is something to learn, it won't effect the broad principle that determine whether or not wifi is hazardous.
I guess the common ground here is what the less informed might do with your comments.
They aren't untrue, but large.sections of the intermoron community will take that and run with it and conclude, for example, that mobile phones are dangerous and.should.never be held up to one's ear.
This may explain why.so many.ypirlng people use them loudly on speaker phone. Now I know what's to blame....

Hardly resounding, but in the current climate, it's probably good news.

I agree with the first part.
The second part is contentious.
The third part irrelevant.
The fourth part vexatioius.

Isn't the third part rather the whole point?
As to the fourth, you'll learn to love my sense of humour. Just give it time.

And depends if you've been travelling near the speed of light too (though that seems unlikely in Cornwall).

Hasn't Ottawa's ties with the US already been cut by the big orange one?
The US is currently finding out what happens when you piss on your friends.

Presumably this is linked to the ban on deep fat fried food.

Of course, how does the nanny state dare to deprive England's children of their god given right to obesity, aterosclerosis and high blood pressure?
