There are many forms of electromagnetic radiation. In order from strongest to weakest: gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwaves, and then there are several types of radio waves. You are also exposed to radiation when you eat a banana or open a bottle of French salad dressing (you know, the orange kind). The point is, people are exposed to radiation all the time. You can't escape it. So, being in a band of radiation for over 4 hours may not kill you, or even harm you.[/quote]
I know there are many forms of electromagnetic radiation. Let's go to read this:
[quote]The Earth actually has two radiation belts of different origins. The inner belt, the one discovered by Van Allen's Geiger counter, occupies a compact region above the equator (see drawing, which also includes the trajectories of two space probes) and is a by-product of cosmic radiation. It is populated by protons of energies in the [u]10-100 Mev range[/u], which readily penetrate spacecraft and which can, on prolonged exposure, damage instruments and be a hazard to astronauts. Both manned and unmanned spaceflights tend to stay out of this region.[/quote] Who says this? Don't you Know? Look well:
[url="http://www-spof.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/wradbelt.html"]http://www-spof.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/wradbelt.html[/url]. It's [u]NASA???[/u] What did you have to say now???
Did you Know what is a Mev? It's a Mega Electron Volt and the particles inside the 1st Van Allen belt are protons with the energy of 100000000 ev range what is a great, great amout of energy for each particle. Inside of the 1st Van Allen belt there are zillions of protons, each one with that amout of energy. Only a fool would stay in this region for more than 15 minutes!!! And when he got out of there would be better that he went immediately to a decontamination center.
Let' go and see what more NASA has to give us:
[quote]1.4 Mev
The energy of electrons from radioactive potassium, a major source of the Earth's internal heat.
4.2 Mev
The energy of alpha particles from radioactive uranium 238, another source of the Earth's heat (and of its helium as well--see positive ions, history).
10-100 Mev
Typical proton energies in the inner radiation belt.
10-15,000 Mev
Range of energies in solar outbursts (see Sun).[/quote]
I think there is no need of more quotations from NASA

Hay there Darthy
allow me 3/4 inch or so of "frozen smoke" (and something to hold my hand up
and I don't see a problem
If you don't see any problem, the problem is yours. Until next and regards.
