  1. What is that supposed to mean? Since you used e.g. which means 'for example', you are saying, "As far as I know water_waves travel [for example] at c." No water waves don't travel at c. EM radiation and water waves are very different things. A water wave is a disturbance in a medium. EM waves are not a disturbance in a medium, they are a disturbance in a field.

    Radiation can kill you or give you cancer even though that radiation (depending on the type)will not make your body radioactive. So high doses of radiation are dangerous. Nuclear power produces radioactive sources. Those radioactive sources are dangerous. The neutron radiation from fission causes the metals in the reactor and the supporting components to become radioactive. The spent nuclear fuel is full of fission products that are also highly radioactive.

    In general alpha, beta or gamma rays will not cause a material to become radioactive.

    Yes, you said, "All material itself get radioactive, if exposed longer time to any of radiation." Moontanman said, "it takes particles like neutrons or protons to actually make another atom radioactive."
  5. The protons are already fused, at least for an instant or so. I have a question for you, if 2 protons fuse together what is the resulting product? That's true, but it has nothing to do with what we are discussing in this thread as far as I can see.
  6. Why do you think it would "throw a wrench into into F=GM1M2/R2 ?
  7. First of all I was not talking about beta decay from fusion because that was not the scenario you brought up, however I did incorrectly say beta- decay instead of beta+ decay. Addressing your OP you said: Alpha radiation consists of a He nucleus, so the neutrons and protons are 'fused' together. Let's assume we can somehow remove the neutrons from the nucleus. Your question then is could the 2 protons undergo fusion. The 2 protons are already fused together, so I'm not sure what your asking. In reality if the 2 neutrons were removed from the nucleus the resulting helium isotope would be extremely unstable and one of the protons would immediately beta+ decay to a neutron forming deuterium. No fusion would occur.
  8. That graphic does not show what you described in the OP.
  9. If that could occur that would be a beta- decay which is not fusion.
  10. How would gamma radiation strip neutrons from the alpha particle? Removing the neutrons from an alpha particle is not fusion anyway.
  11. How could it negatively affect me? Do you realize that nobody could possibly give you any 'ideas' since you did not give enough information to know what you are talking about?
  12. Probably your ex-wife's uncle suggested you should review it.
  13. I pretty sure that saying a quark and a soul are the same thing means your idea is not part of theoretical physics.
  14. The reaction requires heat, so the reaction cannot be used to run a turbine. The reaction cools down the the solution.
  15. This is definitely something you need to discuss with your doctor, I am sure he can help you. Good luck and taker care.
  16. You do realize that GPT-4 doesn't give accurate answers to questions don't you? The GPT-4 was designed to sound like a person. It doesn't matter if it is telling you something completely wrong as long as it sounds like a person.
  17. No thanks, I'll stick with thinking logically.
  18. Looking at the Moon and Mars I see lots of circular craters, what I don't see are 'slides', which leads me to believe that what you are looking at is not a meteorite slide.
  19. I noticed that this is a cut and paste from physics stack exchange. I also see that you have posed the same question in other sites but you have no follow up, just the single post and no further replies. Do plan on replying to comments on your post?
  20. No, that is not true, there would be hardly any difference in the 2 clocks rates. What fuss are you referring too?
  21. No his predictions are correct to the accuracy he needs.
  22. If you have visual/mental problems such as this, then I think you may have health problems, it is definitely nothing to do with the speed of light.
