Whilst we are on the subject of invisible energy packets violating our bodies,

100,000 billion neutrinos pass through your body each second from the sun

Your body will stop ~1 neutrino which passes through it in a lifetime!

Remember we are not innocent either....

" Our body's 20 milligrams of beta radioactive Potassium 40 emit about 340 million neutrinos per day, which go at well-nigh lightspeed to the ends of the universe!..even thru the earth."

Now I know why eating bannanas gives your skin such a nice "glow" :-)

The problem with fearing radiation is that we look at it like it causes permanent damage...... but our body's repair system easily fixes most damage. Even the chromozomes have secondary and tertiary backup systems, to detect if the genes have been damaged. So don't worry. Nuclear power is going to make a big comeback if the human race is to survive at this standard of living.

So concentrate on being a "dynamic-repairable system" with a good immune system, and take the minute damages from radiation in stride.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
