Basically, they don't. THz waves are light at very low energies. Much too low in energy to break any chemical bonds -- they about a 1000 times lower energy than the ionization threshold for stripping electrons off atoms. Some very specific THz frequencies can resonate with vibrations of atoms within molecules, but to directly cause enough vibrations to actually heat and therefore damage a person's molecules would require a very high power, very focused, and very specific frequency emitter. Broad band THz emitters (such as the THz light from the heat of every object around us) will not harm people.

How can a ghost hurt you?

There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that ghosts can physically harm or hurt people. Ghost stories and folklore often involve tales of spirits causing harm, but these are typically rooted in fear and superstition rather than any verifiable reality.


How can electricity causes harm to people?

Electricity can harm people through electric shock. When an individual comes into contact with an electrical current, it can disrupt the normal functioning of the heartbeat, muscles, and nerves, potentially leading to injuries or even death. Additionally, electrical fires can also pose a danger to people by causing burns or creating a hazardous environment.


Can strong magnets harm people?

No, a magnet is a it. Someone has to do something with it to harm people. Otherwise, really strong magnets shouldn't be around large objects that are attracted by magnetism. So its the matter the fact what you do with it.


How can a ghost kill?

Ghosts are believed to be entities without physical form, so their ability to harm or kill is generally considered supernatural and not scientifically proven. In legends and folklore, ghosts may harm or frighten people through psychological or emotional means, but physical harm is typically attributed to other entities or forces.


What are examples of the harm principle?

Examples of the harm principle include restrictions on free speech when it incites violence, laws against drunk driving to prevent harm to others, and regulations on environmental pollution to protect public health. The harm principle suggests that actions should only be restricted if they cause harm to others.
