Guys! I think I know how nuclear radiation feels

[CheertheSecond]

It's like being hit by a spark. The difference is what hit you is much much smaller; and unlike sparks that only lingers for a moment on your skin, this pierces through you at extreme speed; and the effect also went away quite quickly. When your brain registers that you had been struck, you just feels a path that travels through your body and this path is hot.


Do not ask me how I know.

Not an expert on this, but I think the body lacks enough receptors inside the body to feel that.

Also, what you're describing is probably beta or gamma radiation, if it really is radiation. Alpha radiation doesn't penetrate skin and would likely cause severe burns before you actually feel anything.

Edit: Unfinished thought cause lecture started, most natural radiation is alpha particles. Beta and gamma radiation are usually 20% and 10% of emitted energy respectively iirc, unless you have some rare source that works differently from regular radioactive decay, so you would need a really damn powerful source of radiation to receive a significant dose of more penetrative radiation. If you did, it may be a cause for concern, if not immediate then in a few years.

Stick your dick in it

Have you tasted it-nya?

The sun is a giant ball or radiation and you are presumably exposed to the weakend version daily, some atmospheric layer weakens the radiation.
