4G is becoming 5G now and there's a lot of energy buzzing around the aether.

Whether you fear, embrace, and/or understand these phenomena is your own thing. 

Crypto buzzes around the aether pretty frequently so I would guess you are in the second and/or third crowds above.

When we talk about 5G, or almost anything else for that matter, we tend to treat it like something else we know because our brains like to do that.

We also tend to complex it because that is kind of where we are as a culture right now.

So each band of radio and microwave frequencies that we use to send data (like 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, for instance) is not just a single frequency, but a lot of frequencies. To better explain this, consider 2,400,000,000 Hz and 2,400,004,000 Hz. They are both described as 2.4 GHz, but when played together will over time (and thus space because light never stops moving) dephase and eventually be distinguishable as two slightly different patterns. When played together, the two individual waves will also literally add together to make a new wave, which you can think of as being only one instead of two. This is generally true of both light and sound waves, but sound waves are more physical and oscillate larger particles. Radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc. are light waves, so they oscillate electromagnetic fields.

As we know, electromagnetic fields are powerful. They control our power grid, keep our entire solar system in a dynamic state, and allow our phones to communicate over long distances.

Since we don't fully understand them right now, sometimes manipulating electromagnetic fields has unintended consequences. Especially when all of our devices are generating and interacting with them at different frequencies.

Your smartphone, by generating both a 2.4 GHz field distortion and a 5 GHz field distortion at the same time to ping your dual-band router, inadvertently also generates a 2.6 GHz field distortion because that is how often the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz waves 'beat' together. This is shown simplified below:

And so then of course it gets more complex because there are a lot of frequencies and combinations of frequencies.

There are your phone, your computer, your FitBit.

Then there is your router.

Then there is your roomba.

Then there is your neighbor's router. 

Then there is your other neighbor's router. 

Then there is the 5G microtower. 

Then there is the other one.

Then there is the cell tower.

Then there are the satellites.

Then there is your body trying to communicate with itself.

Then there is your dog.

Then there is your metal chain that starts to conduct electricity because it's in a magnetic field...

So yeah I think you get the idea.

It's complicated. But not so complicated that you need to complicate it again. Remember, you can also add all the waves together and interpret it as a single thing.

Probably use airplane mode though when you're not on the internet.
