Nothing stops these effects, even when they are minor, from ultimately compounding to such a degree that they have a major impact.
In that context it's imho a bit weird how we humans always gotta have that one causation, when reality is usually extremely multi-causal and complex.
- Robotbeat 5y agoGotta disagree; actually a lot stops those effects. There are multiple mechanisms for DNA repair besides good old natural selection. Life developed in a mutagenic environment and there are natural sources of radiation all around us. Granite is measurably radioactive, for instance. Artificial radiation at much lower doses are not going to make a significant difference; they’re just very easy to detect because of the very precise energy signature they show on things like gamma ray spectrometers.
