The the magnetosphere of the earth acts as a force field shield
deflecting dangerous rays. What more does magnetism do that is important to mankind? It is curves of force. What is magnetic weight? Mitch Raemsch -- Magnetic Acceleration -- |

Interstellar space is postulated to have a large quantity of very high- energy particles known as cosmic rays. The solar wind form our sun reduces the number of cosmic rays to a much lower level. The earth's magnetic field creates these Van Allen Belts which shields and traps the solar wind and other harmful particles. Below the Van Allen Belts, the radiation is about 10 RADs per year. It is not lethal but considered health risk. The earth's atmosphere with the ionosphere further attenuates the radiation level down to such benign level as seen on the surface of the earth. How did the Apollo astronauts survive the radiation form solar wind and cosmic rays without the protected environment of the Van Allen Belts? They probably will survive with minimal shielding in the command module for a week and a half, but coming back on earth, they should be very ill and eventually demise in a few months. |

I'm waiting to hear about the cosmic rays that pass through the earth, coming up to pass through your body from the feet up, and how "harmless" those are. There's a school of thought holding that those are to some extent responsible for genetic mutations. snip |

It spins the blenders which make all of those mixed drinks that many of the regulars of these newsgroups undoubtedly consume. And, most significantly, it sticks notes and the drawings of 6 year-olds to the front of your refrigerator. -- Paul Hovnanian ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Procrastinators: The leaders for tomorrow. |

I don't think very many engage in the niceties; the seem to prefer straight up right out of the bottle. And, most significantly, it sticks notes and the drawings of 6 year-olds to the front of your refrigerator. That's where I keep my bills, in calendar order. I've given some thought to drawing the matrix with indelible marker, but the numbers jump around from month to month. |

I hope it did not hurt too much! Ironically, it addresses the wiitiest mind here, even possibly, anywhere. Like Groucho, I am suspicious. Get out 'Night in Casablanca' DVD.

Koobee Wublee is fantastically stupid and is sharing his ignorance on yet another subject. Do not listen to him. I'm waiting to hear about the cosmic rays that pass through the earth, coming up to pass through your body from the feet up, and how "harmless" those are. There's a school of thought holding that those are to some extent responsible for genetic mutations. The only radiation flux that is passing through the Earth is the neutrino flux from the sun. Given that the canonical description of a neutrino's interaction with matter is that it can traverse a light year of lead with a 50% chance of interacting, it is reasonably safe to say that neutrinos don't do anything significant to us even on large time scales. On the other hand, there is a significant cosmic ray flux with energies than span the MeV to 10^21 eV range. This flux does not pass through the whole of the planet, but it does pass through the atmosphere and serves as a large portion of the planetary radiation background. This doesn't touch on the solar wind particles that get sucked down into the atmosphere by the nonlinearities of the magnetic field, but those are reasonably restricted to the polar regions. The school of thought that cosmic radiation may be tinkering with our genetic structure through mutations is not unreasonable. snip |
