Something seems unconvincing. Like, when i think two of the things you said are wrong, i doubt the rest. Nope phones do not all go to different frequencies or colors. Many use the same frequency and each put out their data packets in short bursts. If two packets come in at the same time on the same frequency, some cell towers can disambiguate based on direction, while in other cases both packets drop and have to be resent. Nope, the signal does not ALWAYS get relayed using radio from cell tower to cell tower. Whenever possible, and it is nearly always possible, glass fiber is used to get the signal from tower to tower. Nope, your ccellphone is not strong enough to be a military grade jammer. It will to the best of its ability uselessly keep screaming out signals, drain its battery, and get warm.

Usually impressed by TED videos, but suggesting the stars could be covered up by man made satellites? So many other things would happen to cause the end of the earth before that many satellites could leave the planet.
Furthermore phones on the 5G network use the 600mhz-1ghz spectrum. It's called 5G because its the 5th generation, not because it uses the 5ghz spectrum.
Finally cell phones are limited on how much power they can transmit at so calling them Military Grade Jammers is wildly inaccurate.
A little fact checking would have gone a long way this time around.

You are not going to be a Military Jammer flying at 30k feet. The issue is more prominent in the case of landing and take off.
Even then, the effects are RELATIVELY minor, unless everyone is trying to make a call at the same time on the plane.
The more pressing issue is that you send a request, you receive the response, respond, and get reserved a band, but you disappear. Now that band is reserved for a while.

Not sure how we could see the radio signals from Jupiter, most put out somewhere on the order of 1 watt of power, and we would have trouble seeing a 1 watt light bulb from a few miles away, even though that light does go out an infinite distance there's simply not enough energy in it to trigger cells in our eyes to send a signal to our brain that says hey I see light

My friend who is a private pilot told me that putting my phone on airplane mode was simply because above 3000 ft, I wouldn't be getting any service and my phone's battery would just drain really quick as it spends the length of our flights searching for a signal since our little Cessna 182 didn't have a wifi signal built in for my phone to link to.

This video should be shown in all planes and airports before flights. It saves the stewards and the other staff from explaining this to idiotic passengers - who insist that they are more important than 99. 999% of the population and excuse themselves from safety regulations in flight.

flying twice a week for the past 4 years. I've never put my phone on airplane mode.
The only negative effect of this is battery drain, constantly searching for cell towers.
PS flights are below 50euro/usd per way in Europe which makes it normal to fly weekly.

The technology of aeroplanes, especially the transmission one, is ancient. They have already developed to fix the interference problems, but still, it's old. They are still using radio waves to communicate; maybe someday we can create a new one.

And then if you use your phone in airplane mode the flight attendants yell at you anyway. So basically they just want you to turn your phone off and be bored to tears for 6+ hours in the most uncomfortable seat ever devised by man.

How can we see galaxies 96 billion light years away if the Universe is only 15 billion years old at most? Because that means that the light from anything more than 15 billion light years away won't have reached us yet

FINALLY! A reasonable piece of information that isn't here to make #1 by scaring people or claiming extraordinary claims. Your video has a couple dabs of incorrect info but it's overall, well done.

Day and night, all of my phones are mostly in this mode - since I don't have any active contacts, except my mom. I dont know any scientific effects of it aside from it l's an effective battery saver

Informative as always! Random information I didn t know I needed but very interesting! Now I want to learn more about how my phone works and the stars!

I cant get a signal in a metal clad building and I'm supposed to believe that a hermetically sealed metal tube hurling through the sky defies science.

See, now I want to be one of those rogue passengers who turns on their phone at about 10k feet and send a massive radio wave to a tower! hahaha

4: 25 How can we talk about secrets of galaxies 96 billion light years away, when the universe only 13. 8 billion year s old? What did I miss?

Please don't tell Americans that not turning on flight-mode will only affect others and not themselves, they'll all just start ignoring the mode.

I think we should turn it is our responsibility to put phone in airplane mode. One word for those who don't show this kind of responsible behavior

Huh, so they made me think for decades that I'd crash the plane for not switching it off. This is still bad but not killing 250 people bad.
