How much stress would radiation outside the Van Allen belts add?
(I could probably find this out myself, but it was quite a few years ago. I assume a sheet would be damaged by gamma?)
- akiselev 12y agoI don't think there is a known material that wouldn't be damaged by gamma rays but it's a statistical process and we just don't have that many gamma rays on our surface.
- BugBrother 12y agoI was wondering about space applications. A sheet might maybe self heal after gamma radiation, that is why I asked (depending on environment, there might not be much else to happen?). Most other radiation is charged and might be kept away with strong magnetic fields. But, as I wrote, this was a long time ago.
