That means that the information, needed to survive in a poisonous or cancerous [...] Hi Gerrit and Hans, redundancy is one answer - but the main answer is, that the human body (well, at least mine) is fortunately *not* a super conductor. If your body turns into a super conductor right now, you'll be stone dead within the next second. Remember: As long as we still have to convince the public of the danger of EM-exposure, and as long as not every single person knows that EM-exposure may cause severe trouble, we have to be very squeamish about the parlance we use. If we tell interested people about super conducting human bodies, there will be thinking people who laugh not only at us but at the EMF-topic as well - and this is not what we want.
