A comment on Dramatic rise in cancer in people under 50. Parent comment
You can measure the energy of one photo using this equation.
Microwaves at 2.45 Ghz = 1.6243499999999998e-24 eV
Gamma radiation at 3 x 10(19) Hz = 1.9889999999999998e-14 eV
So about 10(10) more energy per gamma ray photo or about 10 billion times more energy.
