Question three: In 2008, an experiment was performed in order to “evaluate the intensity of oxidative stress in the brain of animals chronically exposed to mobile phones” (Sokolovic 2008, p.g 579). The results depicted that, “mobile phones caused oxidative damage biochemically”,  and further demonstrated – “treatment with the melatonin significantly prevented oxidative damage in the brain” (Sokolovic 2008).

Question four: "Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden's shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat."
