Quotes About Radiation

If the Big Bang actually occurred, scientists believed that we should see slight variations (or ripples) in the temperature of the cosmic background radiation that Penzias and Wilson had discovered.

Ci sforziamo di conservarci in salute per poter morir bene di radiazioni o di aria avvelenata.

Matter is a holograph of itself in its own internal radiation." Forces

Say you have cancer - you have this broad thing we call cancer; we're going to irradiate you and pump this poisonous material into you and hope more of the bad stuff dies than the good. That is going to seem so medieval when we can fix it on a genetic level, and Foundation Medicine is the first step to diagnosing it on a genetic level.

Nuclear accidents anywhere can affect people everywhere.

If you're dealing with live nuclear material, and you do anything that disperses them, it is very hard to hide, even after a 24-day cleanup period, the fact that there was nuclear material in this facility.

Activity in the Sun reaches its highest point once every 11 years. Throughout this period, the Sun rains high energy particles and radiation down on Earth.

The search for the meaning of temperature and entropy of matter led to the discovery of atoms. The search for the meaning of the temperature and entropy of radiation led to the discovery of quanta. In just the same way, the search for the meaning of the temperature and entropy of a black hole is now leading to the discovery of the atomic structure of space and time.

My experiments proved that the radiation of uranium compounds can be measured with precision under determined conditions and that this radiation is an atomic property of the element of uranium.

The fact that this radiation is so penetrating - nothing stops it - makes it so you can look for things that you have never seen before, and you can look at things you know in a way that's new. That is really the big step forward.

I clanked open a bonnet flap and was met by an almost visible wave of heat. The Model T motor's prodigious talent for thermal radiation would always amaze me. It was as if Henry had made a terrible miscalculation and perfected the external combustion engine.

you don't need to understand any of the biology, just as you don't need to understand radiation to use a microwave oven.

Fasting essentially slows (sometimes stops) rapidly dividing cells and triggers an 'energetic crisis' that makes cancer cells selectively vulnerable to chemo and radiation." There

The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.

The existence of such rays coming from man and all living things has been suspected by scientists for many years. Today is the first experimental proof of their existence. The discovery shows that every atom and every molecule in nature is a continuous radio broadcasting station. . .

Antimatter is the most powerful energy source known to man. It releases energy with 100 percent efficiency (nuclear fission is 1.5 percent efficient). Antimatter creates no pollution or radiation

At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.

It is impossible to bring a substance down to a temperature of absolute zero; there cannot be a blackbody without radiation because absolute zero cannot be reached. And that means that empty space in its true sense cannot be created.

Second, what properties distinguish an otherwise empty volume that retains only some black-body radiation at zero temperature-dubbed zero-degree radiation-from truly empty space? We will show that one remarkable feature of zero-degree radiation is shared with empty space: An observer is unable to determine whether he is at rest or moving with constant speed with respect to it.

Once the thermal radiation reaches the surface temperature of the Sun-some 6000 degrees Celsius-we perceive it as white light. At still higher temperatures, 8500 degrees Celsius, the light will be blue. Beyond this, thermal radiation passes into the X-ray range. And so it goes, ad infinitum: the higher the temperature, the higher the frequency of thermal radiation.

Considering the energy balance, the reduction in size and the rise in temperature of the black hole form a feedback mechanism that ultimately must lead to its explosion: The more energy it radiates, the hotter it gets. The hotter it is, the more energy it radiates. And as its energy rises, the ultimate outcome is inescapable: The black hole must explode.

It may well be said that the answer to the question: Of what do the cosmic rays in fact consist before they produce their familiar secondary radiation phenomena in the earth's atmosphere? can only be obtained from numerous measurements in the stratosphere.

For in 1900 all electromagnetic radiation of longer wavelengths was already known at least to the extent that one could not seek in it the more striking characteristics of X-rays such as, for example, the strong penetrating power.

Radio Astronomy has added greatly to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation, considered a relic of the explosion at the beginning of the universe some 18 billion years ago, is one of the most powerful aids in determining these features of the universe.
