Cosmic Rays may harm your cellphones – Hoax


Does it ever happen to you that you have a long conversation that absolutely have no sense? Well we indulge in such activity quite often Check this out, quite stupid, but original and funny.

It all started with a forwarded mail from one of our friend.

The original message:

Hi all
Tonight by 12.30 am cosmo rays from Mars enter into our atmosphere. You are requested to SWITCH OFF your mobile during that time .This is a request by NASA through BBC . Pls Forward it to all

The first response:
According to the latest from NASA you don’t have to switch off the mobile. The harmful xeon-trion cosmo rays would be converted into harmless nitrous oxide by NASA bio-hubble space ray converter installed secretly on top of Mt Everest. Since this may cause involuntary spasms and laughing gas syndrome, you are requested to put a tape on your mouth and wear a gas mask during that time. Please re-forward this latest communication from NASA otherwise people might die laughing.

  1. i’m shaun,
    just got a message that cosmo ray is going to enter earth, causing damage to cel phones!
    i hope the details given above is true!
    one dought,
    why our ozone layer can’t stop these rays??
    aren’t we protected?

    1. because ozone layers have small holes that is needed for some of rays to get inside.. And we have to understand that most damage to the ozone layer due to mostly by human activity… So now we know the very importance of ozone layer at such situation… we have to try to keep the environment safe, in-order to us to be safe.. 🙂

  2. Shaun,
    Could Mars emit harmful cosmic radiation? It is not a star. From magnetosphere? It has vanished long ago. What ever remains is too feeble to affect any thing as far as earth.
    Think it over. Ignore the message and hit the bed. Sleep well.

  3. having a doubt that why this cosmic radiation occurs to have it on the earth…. wat r the situations that overcum this cosmic rays….. why is it happening to earth other than other planets

  4. just got this same text a few minutes ago.now i’m not a “techy” fellow but it sounded like BS to me.just thought i know cosmic rays but never heard of cosmo rays before.

  5. Just as Almighty God doesn’t sleep, he does not make mistakes. Here created the earth and protected the earth from all possible damage. that is why u have all the planet around the earth to protect every possible danger. no asteroid or Cosmo ray from any where.

  6. we actually live in an information age but we refuse to be informed cos we are too scared to explore so we have become a slave to fear. I had a presistent call on my phone as i was sleepn awhile ago i got up and answered. The caller sounded so worried that he sent me a message and i didnt acknowledge reciept considerin the importance attached to the mail. I read through n decided to google on my nokia phone but didnt see the threat he emphatically tried to convey. thanks to everone that has explained this thing here. I can now go back to sleep in peace. The world strives on information but a generation that has refused to be informed is already doomed. Imagine how many doctors will switch off this phones for fear of cosmic ray radiations and the number of patients who cant access their docs for emergencies n possibly face death cos of this rumour!

  7. cosmic rays are emitted by stars. i.e bodie that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors) . mars is neither. it is a planet that just reflects sunlight. it cannot emit cosmic radiation. with regards to these rays the earths atmospher is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry.
    for further info check out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray
    See ya guys.

  8. I think this cosmo ray think is just a hoax.
    I don’t believe there is any such thing as cosmo rays.
    What I have heard of is cosmic radiations.

  9. i received the same sms last night but decided to ignore it…there is however a lot of misinformation in town about this. A neighbour just call and asked us to come out bcos an earthquake is about to happen. Somebody need to provide information to the public

  10. The same this is happening here in Ghana (West Africa) right now. There has been misinformation going around that there is an earthquake happening. It started around 12:30 am and it’s around 5:00 am now and people are still outside on the streets. Meanwhile this is false because there has been no earthquake in Ghana!

  11. this is bullcrap. Received the text message a few mins before midnight and knew it was a hoax. And then a neighbour bangs on my door and tells me an earthqauke is about to happen and so i should get out of my apartment. lol

  12. i was woken up @ 4:00am by a neighbor saying dat there’s gonna be an earthquake so we shd all get out of our rooms…i was jus too sleepy to be bothered! who can predict there’s gonna be an eearthquake?

  13. It all points to one thing.
    The end is near.
    Imagine earthquake in Ghana
    Climate change
    Nations fighting themselves(imagine terrorist attack by a nigerian)we would never do that if all things were being equal.
    Has anyone watched 2012?
    Depletion of ozone layer leaving earth expose
    Remember GOD gave us brains even scientists,he’s using science to warn us all.
    Remember noah tried to convince ppl but they literarily failed to listen to him,maybe this movie is one of the warnings..
    Peace luv n happiness to everyone from nigeria

    1. I receieved same txt last night,but whatever the case may be,i stongly believe God is a cosmic Ruler and he alone is omminiscience,so dis rumour has no effects xcept d allknowing signs it.

  14. I had the same message lastnight that there is going to be some cosmic radiation from mars to earth so our phones should be better off. I think I need more explanation about how the rumour came about.

  15. From the information I have gathered, cosmic ray particles are constantly reaching the earth and so why this alarm? although their emission is higher now since the sun’s activity is currently low, the fact still stands clear that mars cannot emit cosmic rays, however it does not have the atmosphere that is enough to adequately interfere with the speeding particles so the effect on mars could be high, finally mars would not deflect its cosmic rays to us and even if it does, we are already dealing with more direct ones so reflected ones will be less difficult to deal with.

  16. yeah i had the same cosmo rays message last night around 11pm and i put off my fon immediately. otherwise i would have been woken up with calls that an earthquake is coming …which never came..thank God i didnt know about the earthquake scare and i had my sleep…lol

  17. Why are ppl so gulable including my sis that sent this to me, I am an Aeronautical Engineer with experience in Astrophysics:

    NASA never said such a thing and will probably never make such a statement as Mars does produce any electromagnetic rays and even the visible light seen is a reflection from the sun similar to our moon.

    Cosmic rays don’t come from Mars.

    Cosmic rays are very high speed particles which fly through our Milky-Way and plow Earth’s Atmosphere causing a small shower of very tiny, very high speed particles. No one knows for certain what the exact origins or Cosmic Rays are, but a few ideas have been put forth:

    – Supernovae
    – The Disks around black holes
    – The strong magnetic fields that course through our galaxy

    Whatever the case may be, they probably don’t affect your cell phone’s battery a whole heck of a lot. However, they might, from time to time, affect the transmission of signals from one phone to another- especially if those signals are relayed to an orbiting telecommunications satellite. If that satellite is struck by a cosmic ray in just the right place to fry some vital electronic component, your call might be affected. And just that

  18. I don’t think this is right because our father in heaven is the owner of the universe he does not sleep at night.

  19. lots of news we arnt so sure what to believe.. i’ld just say be on d safe side that is which ever one you think is right. stay safe.

  20. Whatever this cosmic ray is, do not scare people with false information. Text messages are flying everywhere and I feel this anomalies should be corrected by NASA. People are DEAD scared that something strange may happen tonight. I advise the whole world not to pay attention to this false information. Go ahead and do your normal routines.

  21. Many thanks to you guys. I also just get this message from my colleague. Infact, 2min later I had a call from my relative passing the same message across.
    Since this message does not have any reasonable source, I consider it as a false alarm and I recommend others to do same.

  22. Menh whoever originatd this rumour must b enjoying him or herself now.y r we africans easily deceived.just went through NASA’s website n theres no warnin or d slightess info about any cosmic or cosmos rays from mars.for crying out loud mars is not a star,its just like earth it doesnt emit any form of radiation.na waooo!!

  23. What the hell is this cosmic ray?
    To me the message looks ridiculous. If the effect of the cosmic ray is ‘endless laughter then the world will be a better place as people will no longer have cause to grieve.
    Lol!

  24. We are bless wit knowledge, but we remain ignorant.. Why cant we think.. Any ray that harm human cant reach earth.. All are repelled away.. This article by bbc is there since 2008, and now, so fellow begin to circulate it that so rubbish is goin to happen.. Well, God is all knowin, and we have been warn about the hour when ppl believe lies rather than the truth..

  25. folks when ever you receive an sms like this, i think the best thing to do is for us to verify the information via the respective sources’ website. like in this case, simply logging on to bbc.com. would have gone a long way to help us figure out facts for ourselves and not allow our heads being used by some uninformed set of folks.

  26. This isnt something u just type in true or false.it is in the bible that a time will come when false news will be spread .anyway,prevention is better than cure.beware!!!!!

  27. I knew it can not be true. If the cosmos rays can spoil my phone, why are the service providers equipment still on? Afterall, the signal is from them. I ignored the text but i sought after the truth from the internet.

  28. Some naughty guyz just want 2 scare many. If such information were true it will get accross 2 subscribers via d right channel. There4 u rumour mongers keep silent.

  29. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! BEFORE YOU START PANICKING, WHY DON’T YOU DO A RESEARCH AND CONSULT AUTHORITIES IN THIS FIELD BEFORE YOU MAKE/DRAW YOUR CONCLUSION(S).

  30. ROMOUR is baaaaaaaaaaad and ignorance makes you poorer. imagine how much people have spent calling and sending sms about the cosmic ray saga to love ones.no wonder telecom industry are keeping silent about it so that they can make more money. My pnone will be on 24/7 for free nit calls.THE STORY IS FALSE!

  31. Well, I switched off my phone when I heard it. He that do not believe a lie will not believe the truth. What will it cost me to switch off my phone for a few hours.

  32. I dnt want 2 doubt dis info.thank God its even @ night,aftral,it wil cost me noting if i switch off my phone.b dat as it may,i believe God is in control.

  33. Thanx friends/relative for this info.But i think the right authority on this issue should be NASA,so why worry.From BBC NEWS,it has been confirmed that this ray can not come from Planet Mars and even if it happens, the Ozone layer is not so bad not to protect us.Anyway be observant.

  34. Wotz hu eva datz d originator of ds ill news goin 2 gain anyway? Wel ma advise is verify an info be4 actin.

  35. It’s not just Nigeria it was spread almost everywhere in the world before you start playing the track of ignorance of Nigerians. It’s a false news,check Wikipedia,BBC news and NASA site,received the msg from my sista few mins ago and decided to check d net before passing it on& alas! It’s not true. Cos if it were wont d network provider give information to their subscribers. Dont blame anyone,just prevent it from being spread. We humans being,being Nigerians dont make us stupid or ignorant&wat makes me mad is that it’s Nigerians who say this. U guys not every one is Farouk-that’s stupid. We re a force to contend with,the issue is how much of this research means-the internet is near or available to each one,or wod someone by this time jump into clothes to run down to a cyber cafe that closing up? Jeez! Guys think

  36. May God, in His infinite mercy, forgive that one who, through this rumour, has denied and will deny dying patients the services of their doctors! It’s unfortunate!

  37. GOD IS IN CONTROL, BE IT RUMOUR,BE IT TRUE, GOD IS FAITHFUL AND HE NEEDS HIS CHILDREN TO TRUST HIM TOTALLY WITH ALL THEIR HEART.

  38. Same message is being passed around the republic of Ireland now, I checked the BBC NEWS website and found out it was a rumour, Please ignore the message and go to your beds, He that watches over us neither sleep nor slumber.

  39. People should not get scared of the cosmic ray,because God is in charge and would not allow any one to be a victim.

  40. Received d same SMS from a friend & checked d Internet asap but no authoritative info confirming this. Anywayz, I ain’t believe but won’t cost me a dime to switch my phones off. Moreover,might b somtin else being misinterpreted as cosmic rays. Try watch d movie, 2012. Behind every rumour, there might be atoms of truth within. Cheers

  41. My sis got an sms over this right now. My curiosity made me search this over google and now I’m affected by the laughing gas and I need to be quarantined immediately! lmao!

  42. i got d same msg from my frenz bt m laughng 2 figure out dat cosmo rays r following d indian standar time. the first comment came from a person who received it in december nad still no trace of cosmo rays cud be found… bt sm fools r still forwarding d message.

  43. got d msg from my frenz, funny silly trick to switch off mobiles for to see how percentage of people befools from this message. ( or decrease the mobile market during three hour).

  44. looking at the above replies and responses on other websites it seems that this shit is going on since the past 2 years…….this rumour surely is a hit !!!!!

  45. Yeah Cosmo rays my ass
    the only thing that can say is NASA
    why dont NASA smthing abt the TETHER INCIDENT
    or UFO

  46. hii frnds, I got one message from my friend, like this “tonight 12.30 to 3.30am cosmo rays will be entering earth from mars. so swith off ur mobiles tonight-NASA BBC NEWS. please pass to all your friends, please dont forget it.”

    But i dont know this is correct or not,
    any one have idea about this,
    please give me a reply
    because im using mobile at that time every day..
    so please i neeed a reply..

  47. i have got a sms from my friend, like this “tonight 12.30 to 3.30am cosmo rays will be entering earth from mars. so swith off ur mobiles tonight is it true plz answer me

  48. i got the message tonite………..i smelled something fishy……….and now i m sure that this is fake coz looking at the comment section of this portal, every other nite someone receives this type of text……..so good nite….no worries……..sweet drmz

  49. Oh!!!!!!!! shit………………….just go to your normal work there are no any such thing to prevent of your normal work…..they are only cosmic rays which have own property like charged one proton………On NASA website no such things are say about u must be take care……avoid rumors and get self explanatory nature……….thats iit all………all is well

  50. Just a rumour…. But I wonder why the people at helm of affairs donot respond immediately allowing all to doubt or believe even if they have a good scientific temperment. After all in any such case why should the service operators not swith off their service towers for the time being.

  51. universe is the treasure of scientific facts yet to be estabilished. usage of human brain is negligible in this book of scientific facts. control of prevention/destruction lies with almighty who commands every tiny particle of the universe as per his choice. some day universe has to perish, let it be this night or the next. NOT TO WORRY, BE BRAVE AND LEARN TO FACE THE REALITY.

    bye

  53. Dear Earthlings,

    Do not worry as we have situation under control. My name is Mars-man and I promise you that we at mars will not let any cosmic rays divert towards Earth. I have developed a special cosmicraygulper machine which will retain the rays for the moment. We have a acute shortage of cosmic rays and therefore the question of any passing on to Earth is unthinkable. But we also require additional funds to carry out further advancements in the machine… so if you could kindly please forwards a small donation to my account(# 004567834marsman) in Nigeria. Sleep tight as Mars-man is there to fight.

  54. Hey! Guys! Don’t ignore that message on top… It’s true… It says that LAUGHING GAS is generated, which is true… I m laughing like hell already…

  55. well in India too, today we are going to have cosmic rays entering to earth, I got such message,
    The timing is 1Am to 5:30 Am. well m confused a bit….!!!!!???

  56. Haaaaaaaaaaaa,Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
    Kindly use your brain,,,,,,,,
    cosmic rays are always emitted or produced by stars or large fusions. i.e bodie that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors) . mars is neither. it is a planet that just reflects sunlight. it cannot emit cosmic radiation. with regards to these rays the earths atmospher is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry.

  57. I GET SMS FROM MY MADAM NAMED BY SHARMILY DEVNATH. She write me about this. and request me to switch off my mobile. I am proud to get a such woman.

  58. i got dis idiotic msg of cosmo rays few min b4. wondered wat d hell cosmo rays r !! never heard of it and all of a sudden they r entering earth atmosphere.. sounded like a joke to me

  59. who r those stupids circulating such messages , to create panic and sleepless nights? thrs nothing as such,, jus rumors,, friends —- happy nite,

  60. It seems that there is too much of time on hand for some people. Whoever start these rumours do not understand this age of IT. That is why they spend time on doing stupid things instead of something worthwhile. I request all readers to ignore such stupid messages.

  61. thank u guys,,,, by searching this news i`v visited this link,, and got a good and healthy Information,, link more so every bdy can get further information About Cosmo Rays

  62. Nice joke guys.how is it possible for a planet to emit cosmic rays? I gotta funny message at night.

  63. ppl….. i am Michelle Brian
    well…. i am not really clear of what is happeningg of the cosmic rays so, can any 1 tell me wahatis cosmic rays?
    bcuz ive been finding information of cosmic rays but id still dont understand
    and just my last BBC know about it?
    ive been dreaming to be a scientist so i would be pleasure if you would answer me……
    thxx

  64. Hay Michell Brian i saw ur msg, i wanted to tell u that these cosmic rays r ultimate harmful rays to distroy ur cell phone…XD,, If u hav any Doubt watch starwars-5
    XD…

  65. if it is real today night that cosmic rays enter into earth from mars?what’ll happen at that time? if cosmic rays affect any humanbeing or any satellite communication?

  66. Yenna rascalas! Do not worry.. I just kicked the cosmic rays back for all time in all time zones! Mind it!!

  67. The holy cow can prevent all disasters. Lets all pray to the holy goddess Goumata to protect us from all natural & man-made disasters & keep all humans under her protection.

  68. I think NASA’s Bio-Hubble Space ray converter is working even now… Me and my wife are now are dying by laughing… can I order gas masks on e-bay?????????????? hi hi hi

  69. Looks like we have another rotation of the rumor in 2011.

    I just received a forward message from a friend which I instanly recognized to be the same one that i got almost 10 months ago. So was wondering how long does a sms take to rotate around and reappear (well atleast in Pakistan). . . The probably fake message received by me on 26th April, 2010 said:

    tonight 1:30 to 4:30 cosmic rays will be entering earth 4rm mars so kindly switch off your mobile phones tonight – nasa bbc news- please pass this message to all your friends for safety

    Although i did check the NASA and BBC news last year when i received this message but this time i am sure it’s fake because it’s thesame fake message about these cosmic radiations coming back to me after God knows how many cycles.

    Umm.. wait a second, lemme check NASA and BBC news . . .

    Ok i am back . . . and well i didn’t see any such news there! it’s all just fake and a rumor!

    Let me tell you some thing about cosmic rays btw! They are emitted from stars which have their own light. Mars reflect sun’s light (although some cosmic rays too). Almost 90% of all the incoming cosmic ray particles are simple protons, with nearly 10% being helium nuclei (alpha particles), and slightly under 1% are heavier elements, electrons (beta particles), or gamma ray photons.

    Anyway, there is no such harm imho! So keep using your cell phones! these cellular companies need some money to survive!

    I don’t know why people start circulating these sort of panic messages disturbing everyone’s every day life and routine!

  70. hiiiiiiiiiiiiii this is vikas and i would like to say that these are RUMOURS for all those duds who wants to talk with there GF at night. so that’s great to them coz today they can sleep at least full night………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….FUCK FOR LOVERS………HA HA HA HA

  71. having a doubt that why this cosmic radiation occurs to have it on the earth…. wat r the situations that overcum this cosmic rays….. why is it happening to earth other than other planets

  72. its 2012 and i think that the worlds gonna end.
    i just received a message which says that
    tonight 12:30 to 3:30 cosmic rays will be entering earth 4rm mars so kindly switch off your mobile phones tonight – nasa bbc news- please pass this message to all your friends for safety
    what should we do?

  73. Simply, Im an Egyptian living in Qatar and I got this message from Kuwait this afternoon. I believe its April’s fool :DD I didnt blv it so it didnt work on me! hehe 😛

  74. I am an Egyptian living in Qatar and I just got this message this afternoon. I simply believe that its April’s fooooooool so It didnt work for me. People WHO ARE FORWARDING MESSAGES out there, YOU CAN DO BETTER!! :p

  75. أشعة كوزمو هي اشعه خطيره جدا انا اعرفهاء جيدا لان هده الاشعه تنيثق من جزيات المجرخ البعيده ولهد ابعد جوالك
    علشان لما يسير شي ما تقدر رجولك نشيلك وانصحك وانصح الجميع ان تكونو قريبين من الله عس الله ان يغفر لناء ولكم شوف متاء تعرغ الله عندماء تخاف منه تلجاء اليه سبحانه اللهم لا تسلط علينا من لا يخافك فينا ولا يرحمنا

  76. I’m no scientist but that’s just stupid telling people to sleep with tape ova their mouth and a gask mask on people will die from lack of breathing u idiots does not take a rocket scientest to figure that out what r they ment todo if they’ve got a blocked nose? I would be very thankful if u wud get bak to me yours sinsierly jim the non scientist with common sense

  77. weda cosmo ray or cosmic ray, stop threatin pple wit fake news, nd u knw hw chicken hrtd sum pple re, save dia lives by stopin fake news. Avoid talking much. It can harm ur growth.

  78. Its just a matter of three hours… You never can tell… We don.t have concrete information about this stuff… Besides the news’s all over the world… There’s heat already… I no fit shout o

  79. Hehehehehe…. Dont y’all think thiz is April fool… Hehehe.. Imagine earthquake in Ghana.. Hehehe

  80. And this ray will transform into solid particals, and these tinie particle will attract each othe to form crup-like looking object

  81. And this ray will transform into solid particals, and these tinie particle will attract each othe to form crup-like looking objects

  82. cosmic rays, Ouch! I just got myn 2dai oo,, n its circulating in ma home town at d moment.. Anywai, I think dis is a worldwide witchcraft bt I ain’t gonna give up, I’m waiting 4 it,…… (Humming on ma bed) definitely d z a purpose 4 dis… God z watchn..

  83. God created heaven and earth,why then shud he allow as perish,to hell with cosmo rays.God z watchin us

  84. the cosmic rays could really affect phones truly just beacause if it enters into the earth there is a possibility that it reacts with radioactive rays which would be dangerous to cell phones and human health as at that pont in time. So in had no choice than to switch of my phone . and taped my mouth and covered my face. till this morning. cos PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

  85. Well,i cn see u guyz have bn recievin ds msg since 2009 and i just gt mine thru a text msg now in april 2012,so funny,why wld pple think of such a funny msg instead of usin that brain for other productive means,shame on u d originator of Mars Cosmo rumour

  86. Meanwhile: digest dis :Hello just two request, d word “tonight” will some1 replace with a valid date? dis same message ve spread for yrs. 2ndly, can some1 attach d link for d source of dis info; or is any1 claiming expertise on dis subject? Dis same mssg was sent last year and I got it again last week as well.

  87. This is so funny..Cant believe am actually dropping a comment. I hope the owner of this link makes a lot of money out of this. Nice one..Cosmos my Ass

  88. etse, i was demn afraid when i received this sms, but i was still doubting… finally i got it, this can never be true.. its very inpossible. we are highly protected and i trust our ozone layer. lol funny though, this was a good one indeed

  89. D message abt cosmos rays was sent to loved ones, cos any information from BBC should’nt be rumonrs due to its standard in d world for reliability.

  90. I laughed and laughed, how could people keep doing this…spreading stories of what shoulda happened since 2008 now

  91. Even if it’s not true, we just have to obey because too much anaylisses leads to parralisses. There are certain mirco element that d ozone layer cant withstand like nuclear rediation, even hydroscopic nitrogen gas, such anti bodies leads to wear and tear, and cosmic ray is under such category. Pls people obey is better dan scarifies, switching ur phone off just 4 dis nyt wont kill u. So switch it off and have a gud sleep and dream of cosmic ray

  92. i believe that cosmic rays will definitely come to earth and will be really harmful to cellphones
    but i don’t think it will be harmful to human beings

  93. I think cosmo ray is an electromagnetic radaiation dat can stil magnetize even afta switching d phone off,i think we ar protected by d layers including d ozone layer.

  94. its all are bull shit I am sure that because of this rumour net work provider make good money sending sms .pls its all stupid .

  95. do not believe in that message….mars is a planet so it cannot emit dangerous cosmic rays…..only stars and the sun can emit cosmic rays…and that news is the same as last year but definitely not true….so forget about it and just have a good night sleep

  96. hi, i’m joyce
    i have the message too last night but nothing happens at 12:30 am ohh God!!
    that’s not true!!dont post anything about earth if it is not !!!ok,,

  97. just received that text message right now april7,3012 ….cosmic rya from mars will be entering the earth at 10:30pm philippine time tonight

  98. well i think this is all a crap. Can we get something realistic. I mean helloo can someone say something

  99. Die laughing………lol…….yeah…….and i think instead of suicide bombers dying,they should inhale the gas n atleast die laughing……

  100. helo am joe! I was troubled when i heard that cosmic radiation is entering the earth but i wasn’t frightened even though nothing happened anaway. My question is; what is the duty of the OZONE LAYER if this ray can’t be stoped? And what duration is the rays on earth?

  101. man, when my mom got this message i was pissed because she immediately seized all our phones, earphones were seized even after i proved to her that it was a hoax. I really don’t get why people love spreading hoaxes around.

  102. who do u tink will blive such ‘A SERIOUS LIE’ do u tink we r seriously stupidddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    !!!

  103. ll
    Tonight by 12.30 am cosmo rays from
    Mars enter into our atmosphere. You
    are requested to SWITCH OFF your
    mobile during that time .This is a
    request by NASA through BBC . Pls Forward it to all The first response:
    According to the latest from NASA you
    don’t have to switch off the mobile.
    The harmful xeon-trion cosmo rays
    would be converted into harmless
    nitrous oxide by NASA bio-hubble space ray converter installed secretly
    on top of Mt Everest. Since this may
    cause involuntary spasms and
    laughing gas syndrome, you are
    requested to put a tape on your
    mouth and wear a gas mask during that time. Please re-forward this latest
    communication from NASA otherwise
    people might die laughing.

  104. The whole world have become afraid of death through cosmic story.now this is it the bible prophecy?or funny text?which one.

  105. Is dis 2ru dat cosmo ray wil b entering earth 4rm mars 4rm 12am to 3:30am. Is dis nt a trick 4 d robbers wen al nigerians wud av switch off fones and deir wnt b means of communicatn wen dey rob. Pls lets thnk wel

  106. The message above is clearly nothing more than
    just another HOAX. I don’t know why people are circulating panic messages such as this to disturb the lives of other people. From what I have noticed, this message has been circulating since 2008 and it suddenly reappeared today, 6 April 2012. I also received text messages containing this false information and saw similar Facebook posts. I did my own research and I have found no credible reports that confirm the claims in the warning message. There are no references to such a threat listed on credible scientific websites. I also checked the NASA and BBC news today to see if they have posted something like this. Fortunately, both have never said such a thing and will never probably produce a similar baseless statement. Despite the claim in the message, there are several reasons to say that this information is untrue. First, Mars could not emit harmful radiation because it is not a star. Cosmic rays are emitted by stars. i.e bodies that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors). Mars is neither. It is a planet that just reflects sunlight. It cannot emit cosmic radiation. Next, with regards to these rays the earth’s atmosphere is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry. The magnetosphere absorbs and protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. Whatever remains is too feeble to affect any thing as far as earth.

    Is Cosmic rays from the Mars or galaxy/stars?
    How genuine is the information? from NASA? where and when?
    Does it only affect phones? what about other gadgets that uses photons or (electronics)?

    Does it mean all things will stop between that time?

    Do you switched off your phone too? or probably moved and then had courage to see what will happen? JESUS IS COMING SOON believe His message

  117. Hoax Alert: Cosmic Rays from Mars Entering Earth

    There have been rumors circulating that cosmic rays from Mars are entering Earth tonight so we need to switch off our phones, or put them away from us.

    Tonight 12:30 am to 3:30 am cosmo rays entering earth from mars. So switch off your mobile at night. Don’t keep your cell with you & put it away while you are sleeping because they are too much dangerous rays: NASA informs BBC NEWS. Pls spread this news.

    The message above is clearly nothing more than just another HOAX. I don’t know why people are circulating panic messages such as this to disturb the lives of other people. From what I have noticed, this message has been circulating since 2008 and it suddenly reappeared today, 6 April 2012. I also received text messages containing this false information and saw similar Facebook posts.

    I did my own research and I have found no credible reports that confirm the claims in the warning message. There are no references to such a threat listed on credible scientific websites. I also checked the NASA and BBC news today to see if they have posted something like this. Fortunately, both have never said such a thing and will never probably produce a similar baseless statement.

    Despite the claim in the message, there are several reasons to say that this information is untrue.

    First, Mars could not emit harmful radiation because it is not a star. Cosmic rays are emitted by stars. i.e bodies that are undergoing nuclear reactions that is fusion (as occurs in our sun) or fission (as occurs in nuclear reactors). Mars is neither.

    Next, with regards to these rays the earth’s atmosphere is capable of taking care of them so no need to worry. The magnetosphere absorbs and protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. Whatever remains is too feeble to affect any thing as far as earth.

  118. Assalamoalaikum guys, i have heard about cosmo rays so, is there any body who cn tel me the rit thng abt tht. Cn anyone Plz hlp me.

  119. Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i
    came to “return the favor”.I’m attempting to find things to enhance my website!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!

  120. I dnt get it is it all over the world and is it laughing or cellphones dying and if you dont have gas masks

  121. Well, well, well. If I receive one, similar messages above. Then, I know how to react since you proved that was hoax. So Mars cosmic rays exist but not on our phones. The possibility that may come to reality if me and my phone is both on the outer space. You know, I’m dreaming about being an austronaut one day.

  122. First it will effect on satellite.
    And from mars?
    Unbelievable. Its not a star.
    And if rays comes earths magnetic field will fight on that,,, if not than may be magnetic pole change or unstable poles will create. Means earth will become with many magnetic pole and it will change locations constantly(not in every single minute).
    Lots of there to debt.

    And cosmos force required from star not from planet that don’t have such magnetron.

    Any how don’t worry sleep tight good night.

    If happens such by cosmo rays only comes from star, nobody knows wht happened next.

    So don’t panic, if will happen than happen for everybody.

  123. is this cosmic ray rumor true? Cus I don’t like to risk my life nd properties, and I don’t like to be fooled at the same time too.
    Needs an urgent response…

  124. Is that true the cosmic rays radiation comes in our atmosphere then why the news do not tell this breaking news on the television . . . .
