only dangerous if you spend a lot of time in a vacuum i guess.

I'm puzzled. While this is discussed as a breakthrough, I don't understand why this isn't dangerous.

That's cool. The whole time I was reading I kept thinking of the guys on The Big Bang Theory. Just like something they would do.

The radiation that it releases is not that much, unless you are in a vacuum.
The earth seriously emits more radiation than that.My bike is my Benz.

or the sun.
a day's skiing at 10'000 ft means about the same amount of cosmic radiation as a mammogram.
one intercontinental flight at 30'000 subtracts 15 minutes off your theoretical lifespan (a cigarette about 5 minutes).It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
