Thanks for pointing it out!
My pleasure @lemouth
Outstanding article. Question ☝️: in medical science, sometimes we use gamma for radiotherapy such as for killing cancer cells. And as I know apart from killing cancer cells, the gamma also kill healthy cells. As far as your concern... how much effect will gamma cause to our body? I am curious to know the truth side-effect of the gamma because sometimes as a health provider we do not the exact caution of the gamma. Looking for your answer bro @whalhesa. Thanks in advance
Gamma rays can be used in various activities, such as; treatment of cancer through radiation, fluid flow tracking, searching for natural resources, sterilization of medical equipment, and geodetic mapping. All of these activities take advantage of the properties of gamma rays that have very high energy and further range power.
Just like X-rays, gamma rays can also pass through almost any material. Gamma ray radiation is measured in millirem (mrem). Based on observations, every normal environment at least exposed to radiation exposure of 25 mrem.
Radiation exposure increased to 5 thousand mrem which is felt by many people working in a radioactive environment with a maximum level of protection. The normal threshold of the radiation exposure level is set at 10 thousand mrem. If it exceeds this limit, it will have a tremendous health impact as happened to radiation sufferers due to nuclear bombs dropped on Japan during World War II. Gamma rays can have tremendous health effects, such as: Can cause cancer, such as skin and bone cancers, damage to body cell tissue, and genetic mutations affecting the generation to be born
Thanks for the answer.
I am slightly surprised by this statement. LIGO and VIRGO are not expected to do so... They did it already! :)
Both the gravitational waves generated by the collision of two neutron stars and the production of gamma rays were simultaneously observed. This was one of the major scientific event of 2017. You can check the official websites of these collaborations for more information. Maybe could you consider adding this to your post (that is great by the way)?
Yes .... I will learn more.
Thanks @lemouth for your feedback.

My pleasure :)
