What are the safety concerns? How is bombarding earth from semi space with electro magnetic waves is safe or healthy?
- foxyv 7y agoThe sun is bombarding the earth with about 100 million gigawatts of electro magnetic waves in all frequencies. Close to a kilowatt per square meter of the earth's surface. In addition we are constantly bombarded with crazy particles from the various super energetic explosions that happen almost constantly in our universe. This is in addition to some truly dangerous radiation that is emitted from just about everything. The potassium in your banana is putting out some serious gamma rays right now. Florescent lights create tons of UV too. Your body is continuously repairing the effects of this radiation. In addition you are still breathing the radioactive elements from various man made nuclear explosions and meltdowns. SpaceX isn't going to put a DENT in that sort of dangerous radiation. However they might mess up weather radar? That would suck. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/10/18/study-fluorescent-light-bulbs-emit-high-levels-of-uv-radiation/ https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/10/18/study-fluorescent... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137#Radioactive_caesium_in_the_environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137#Radioactive_caesiu...
