Burned from the inside? Lol, that's the phrase that instantly means "This is pure bullshit".

That's how microwaves cook food. That's how radiation works. You are ignorant and unintelligent.

Um, no... that's not how microwave ovens cook food. Jesus Christ, have you ever used one? Speaking of ignorant and unintelligent.

Do an experiment: shove something cold in a microwave and turn it on for a minute. Now take the temperature of the outside surface and compare that to the internal temperature. Next, go fuck yourself, dipshit.

When you heat something in a normal oven, let's say a piece of meat, the heat will come from the outside and slowly make its way towards the center the meat. This normal heat transfer. The warm air in the oven is filled with high-energy molecules that bump against the surface of the meat. The energy from the air is transferred to the surface molecules in the meat, which then heat up. The surface molecules then bump against other molecules further inside the meat, and so the heat is slowly transferred inwards until it reaches the center. This is a mechanical-type transfer of heat from the outside towards the inside.

But when you put a piece of meat inside a microwave oven, the microwaves will completely penetrate the meat. The heating happens mostly by the twisting of polar molecules inside the meat. There is much less molecular heat transfer through mechanical "bumping", as in the normal oven, and much more instantaneous heating through direct energy transfer from the microwave radiation into the molecules inside the meat.

This is why microwaves heat from the inside. There is no warm air on the outside to transfer heat to the inside. The heating happens by direct energy transfer from the microwaves into the meat. All the way into the center.

Now the question of WHAT gets heated (which molecules) inside the meat, depends on both the frequency and the composition of the molecules that the microwaves hit. For a microwave oven it is mostly tuned to the resonant frequency of water, so it is mostly the water molecules in the meat that will do the heating.

But when you're going up into the millimeter waves, like in a backscatter machine, then the microwaves can heat any other tissue, molecule, or structure that is receptive to that particular frequency. Hence there is the possibility to be burned from the inside. Literally burned, because the millimeter waves interact directly with something inside your body, and the heat will be produced from the inside, not from the outside.

Ok, you're too stupid to explain complex things in a simple way to, so lets do another experiment using 100% natural radiation. Go stand in the sunlight on a clear day for a while. The Sun offers real radiation. What gets sunburned first. Is it:

A) Your skin

B) Your liver

Try not to strain yourself working through this one.

Lol. I assume you get paid for trolling. Otherwise I pray you'll never be responsible for something important. Welcome to my blocklist.
