As we all know Alphas can be stopped by just a sheet of paper: A restraining order.
I am a neutron male, and I am going to bring an end to this universe
And if that doesnt work, lead
MFers be like “I’m an alpha male,”
Okay bro, tell me more about how you’re a glitchy, unenjoyable mess with no content nor character.
Because neutrons are uncharged, they are more penetrating than alpha radiation or beta radiation. In some cases they are more penetrating than gamma radiation, which is impeded in materials of high atomic number.
I did not know that neutrons could penetrate farther than gamma rays by their virtue of being neutral. Also never heard gamma rays be called y-rays. Wonder what the z-rays will be if we ever name any.
γ is the Greek letter gamma. Those are γ-rays, not y-rays.
So why are X-rays the only ones that are just X if the rest are Greek
In an 1895 paper, Röntgen used "X" to label an unknown type of radiation. And the name stuck, despite his later objections. (Some languages do call them Röntgen rays.)
German for example does this.
Ix-Strahlung certainly doesn't roll off the tongue.
The "y" you're seeing on the table is actually γ, or lower-case gamma!
Did not know about the neutrons either as well as gamma rays having the same penetration as x-rays. Was always taught gamma radiation is insta toast no matter what kind of protection.
Jimmy Neutron got game.
Neutrino male
Gives a whole new meaning to "doing the neutron dance "!
What about the Neutrinos? They are literally penetrating all humans billions of times right now. The amount that go through your butt right now without consent is staggering.
We all know the tru e alphas are the bottoms ~(-_-)~
