You kinda hit the nail on the head with my intent behind listing these types of radiation as “S” tier, “dangerous” is often a matter of perspective. Ionizing radiation gets a very bad rap due to media fear-mongering and pop culture, which hurts the development of safe nuclear energy. My point was to highlight ALL types of radiation can be seen as incredibly dangerous, because it’s all about how you present it (often in a cherry-picked manner) to the viewer! Also you were right about how difficult this was to put together haha it was very challenging to take all this very interesting and complex research and make it accessible and interesting for all! Took a long time but it was worth it Also, thank you for the clarification on neutron radiation! That is the type I studied the least back in my time at university, I taught myself mostly while researching this video! Great to see a fellow engineer’s take on my video, cheers :)
Thank you so much for your explanation! I still think listing them all as S-tier was the most informative and hilarious take on radiation that I have ever seen! I’m glad you appreciated my reaction 😊
It would also be good to mention that non ionizing radiation can still do horrific things to a human body and absolutely kill you. Specifically, targeted high amplitude radio and micro waves can be used as covert weapons, and they are basically undetectable. The things that can be done with them are just as bad as the effects as ionizing radiation. For example, a specific combination of frequency and amplitude targeted at your head can cause vibrations in your ear drums and skull that create the sensation that there is audio originating from inside your mind, so someone could use this weapon to basically beam a voice or any souds/music directly into your head, causing you to potentially go insane. They could even create AI versions of the voices of everyone you care about and then say horrible things about you in the voice of your own spouse or parent, like that you're worthless and unloveable or that they will die if you don't do a specific task (kill someone, leak sensitive info you have access to, etc), and it would all feel like it's coming from your own mind. You would be unable to escape it, and the implications are absolutely terrifying. It's straight out of a horror movie. Then, there's ones that uses targetted microwaves that literally makes it feel like you are on fire and burning alive, with no way to put it out or escape if the people operating it don't want you to. The truly scary thing is that I'm pretty sure a lot of police in the U.S. have this weapon available to them to use for crowd control. These aren't the only ways targeted EMF waves can be used, so just know there's plenty more just like this. Honestly, I'm way more terrified of targetted EMF weapons than ionizing radiation. At least with ionizing radiation you can use a geiger counter to detect it and then get away from the source to protect yourself, and even if you can't, doctors will know what happened to you and take it seriously. They won't turn you away and act like you are imagining things. With EMF weapons you can't get away, and there's no way for other people to be able to verify that it's happening, so everyone will treat you as if you've gone insane, and people with mental illness are not treated well at all, even though when you think about it, it would feel exactly the same to you whether the CIA was targeting you with EMF weapons or you were suffering from schizophrenia that made it feel exactly as if you were being targetted, so whether or not it is mental illness shouldn't make a difference in how seriously it's taken and how much compassion and sympathy you get, but that's a whole other issue.
@@orchdork775 If I’m understanding this correctly, there’s one slight problem with using this as a weapon: How do you know your target’s exact position to target them at all times? And also, even if you did, you’d have to be able to adjust the thing projecting perfectly with perfect timing to _keep_ it aimed at them, because humans tend to move around.
@@carbonwolf3865 True, but not the bananas themselves...the potassium would likely send your heart into something unrecoverable... IIRC the math correctly, it's something like ~400 bananas in a day, IF and ONLY IF your body isn't processing the potassium like due to kidney problems...so, you're still fine - maybe - you still have other physical and potential mental problems to deal with...
I'm surprised that you only get a couple thousand views per video, you're one of the few people that make reaction videos that actually expand on the topic.
to quote Badda who said he worked it out in highschool: if you eat 40,000 bananas in 10 minutes, you'll die of radiation poisoning that's a speed of about ~66.66 bananas PER SECOND
"You are gonna stuff yourself to death and be unable to breath due to having so many bananas rammed down your throat" Is a brand new sentence I was not expecting to hear nor was expecting to make me cackle maniacally aloud.
To quote 'The Russian Badger:' *"We worked it out in highschool. If you ate 10,000 bananas in ten minutes you would die of radiation poisoning."* *"Ah yes, the RADIATION would kill you!"/s*
I work in industrial safety right now, and they often do Xrays on various objects on site for inspection purposes and man they dont take any chances with that stuff. They call it out over the radio, cordon off the entire area and everything. And knowing a bit about the isotope they use to do that I'm very glad they do
Fun fact: As the "What If" blog by Randall Munroe found out, it would be _possible,_ although _extremely_ unlikely, to die from _neutrino_ radiation. (It would require a spaceship at a precise distance from an exploding supernova though, and immediately afterwards, the other stuff from that supernova explosion would destroy your spaceship and body on a sub-atomic level.)
The electromagnetic radiation would probably kill you first, so you pretty much need some megastructure thick enough to shield you from everything else.
Some of the best explanations from both of you as to why radiation isn't just a scary death beam that will kill you if you get near anything that puts it off.
23:10 When you reach the ~10,000 banana mark there would be enough potassium to react with the water in your body to cause an explode that has enough energy to boil all the water in your body.
One thing I like about nuclear reactors is that it's one of the places where you can observe Cherenkov radiation. This phenomenon happens when charged particles travel faster than the speed of light in a medium like water, but not faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Which leads me to one of my most favorite hypothetical particle, the Tachyon. These hypothetical particles, if they exist, could release something akin to Cherenkov Radiation, leading to an intriguing runaway effect where they move faster as they lose energy. It was in fact, one of two research papers I did in physics class for a presentation, the other being antimatter, pretty much flew over the heads of everyone in the class, But they probably just got bored because I went into a little bit too much detail about them at the time lol. Physics teacher liked it though. 😋
Hey, here's a russian mnemonic for rainbow colors, just in case some of you would be interested: "Каждый охотник желает знать где сидит фазан" (Kazdy ohotnik zhelayet znat' gde sidit fazan/Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits) which would stand for "Красный, оранжевый, жёлтый, зелёный, голубой, синий, фиолетовый", meanings of which you could guess:D (Krasny, oranzhevy, zhelty, zeleny, goluboy, siniy, fioletovy)
In Russian we have a mnemonic that goes "every huntsman wants to know where the pheasant sits", because in our translation it is "каждый охотник желает знать, где сидит фазан", analogous to roygbv Каждый - К - Красный (red) 🟥 Охотник - О - Оранжевый (orange) 🟧 Желает - Ж - Желтый (yellow) 🟡 Знать - З - зелёный (green) 🟩 Где - Г - Голубой (light blue) 🔷 Сидит - С - Синий (blue) 🟦 Фазан - Ф - Фиолетовый (violet) 🟪 Yes, we have two blues
22:05 I’m not an expert like you are, but I have a feeling that there might be a bunch of other radioactive particles that you ALSO need to worry about if you’re standing next to an unshielded nuclear reactor.
Well, working more than 30 years in broadcast facilities and masts up to 111m, I was always happy, when we did maintenance up that high on FM antennae, that there wasn't an idiot way down that put on the transmitters via combiners that brought 50Kw on antenna, that is about 1,26 MW ERP in a circular pattern. Speaking about radiation. If you took an old TL tube, and held it downstairs on the 25inch feeders the damn thing lighted up.
So I'm a construction guy and have never really needed this, but for Taxonomy I learned: King Phil Came Over For Good Sex For kingdom, phylum, class order, family, genus, species. Also, I'm old. Domains or Empires weren't a thing yet.
one example of burns from radiation is a bad sunburn. well technically regular sunburn is too but if you've ever had sun poisoning you can easily see how the way the top layer of skin slops off in a few days is clearly radiation like symptoms of those deeper effected levels vs thermal burns.
20:00 I believe that the same type of procedure is used in brain surgery placing a small piece of material that has a radioisotope (example: Irradiated gold) on the cancer.
Little addition: at 14:30 you talk of gamma ray bursts as if they *only* come from black holes, but they can come from neutron star mergers, strong supernovae, and white dwarf collapses into neutron stars. One might define a quasar's beam as a gamma ray burst for all its intents and purposes it's basically a very long one, but that'd be a stretch. Usually black holes emit grbs when they get fed a lot of material in a short time, like when a neutron star merges with a black hole.
BJ missed a skit that It's literally called "new-clear" because it was new and not visible to the human eye. All names should be at least vaguely literalistic, phonetic and sarcastically simplistic for complex fields or needless complex for mundane items that always get a number of alternative names anyway.
Doing my bit for the algorithm. This is probably going to be my favourite video of yours. Engineer checks fellow Engineer (peer review), RUclipsr checks fellow RUclipsr (channels coming together with the same goals), AND it's got an important message about the fearmongering. 11 out of 10.
Has anyone noticed in videogame settings that there is an option called "Gamma"? When you increase it or lower it, it makes the game brighter or darker. Does that have to do anything with monitors projecting more gamma rays?
I memorized the spectrum of visible light by knowing that it was flanked at the low end by IR and by UV at the high end, and then filling the gaps by remembering which colors mixed into other colors. This "Roy G. Biv" mnemonic, I understand the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, but what's with the "i"? I can not recall any such thing taught in Finland.
Indigo. A color between blue and purple/violet. Not often used in common parlance today, but generally known by anyone who knows a broader range of color terms. It was more common back in the day when the mnemonic was coined, and the indigo plant is the main reference of it.

I heard about one time a person had gotten a radiation treatment and had to ‘cool off’ in a room for a bit. After they left the Decon team kept finding radiation in the room after cleaning it repeatedly. Turns out the patient had been picking their nose and leaving the radioactive boogers behind the headrest of the bed!
To be fair, a quarter inch thick piece of lead is still a fairly substantial amount of material. I'll never get over just how deceptively heavy lead is (and how fun it can be to play with at times).
"Particles or waves". Technically, all radiation is both a particle and a wave at the same time. Quantum mechanics is weird. In classical physics and especially nuclear safety, it makes sense to treat them like discrete particles of a specific type with specific energy levels, because that's what determines the dose equivalent a human would receive. In the device you're watching this video on, your storage is just a bunch of transistors with the gate insulated with a dielectric, and then you rely on the wave properties of electrons to push them through the insulator by applying a sufficient voltage to write ones and zeros, even though classical physics tells you there's no way you're getting electrons through an insulator. Quantum physics says yes you can if the insulator is thin enough.
RAM is much simpler and is just a grid of capacitors with row lines to measure their voltage. This is much faster than waiting for quantum tunneling to erase a bit (we're talking ns vs ms). The issues are: 1. Reading a bit discharges the capacitor, so you need a circuit to write back what you read. 2. Capacitors that small enough are prone to leaking electrons through the dielectric (see quantum physics above), so you need to periodically read rows that weren't used recently and rewrite the '1' bits to a full charge. 3. Modern CPUs have memory controllers that both do steps 1 and 2 automatically, and handle much faster cache memory to avoid having to touch the RAM in most cases (since CPUs have outpaced RAM speeds for decades), so as a programmer you just need to worry about cache efficiency (reading from N to N+M is easily predicted by the CPU, but reading randomly will cause delays; yes, even if your code seems optimal).
People are probably only radioactive because we are injesting radioactive waste byproducts in our food and environment, thanks nuclear industry for making sure none of this stuff contaminates the world. And nuclear tests. It’s not naturally occurring. Aside from our bodies being electrical systems. That’s not the same kind of radiation. 🤔
Not much stops nutrons and nutrinos it’s the reason why we replace or should replace much of the reactor vessels and caps and pipes as these things pass through the steel and concrete and degrade its integrity. Eventually causing leaks. Wigner effect occurs with all radiation but the more energy it has and the more speed it gets… usually slightly faster than light… the further it can penetrate without losing all of its energy. Very low mass but high speed allows it to go through pretty much anything, and not need to stop. But everything it touches it exchanges it’s energy to it. Chernobyl and Fukushima both had dna exchange events as well. This is something nutrinos and nutrons do at high energy and closest to the sources. And mostly from criticality events and melt downs. These are some of the forms of radiation that can not be shielded from yet… and are constantly emitted during the entire operation of a nuclear or fusion reactor.
I wish we lived in a solar punk world, but alas, we do not. Nuclear energy is fine. I accept it. Please continue to work on making it safe and effective and even less waste producing. I do think all nuclear weapons should be dismantled. There should be no place for them in our world. I am so against them that I am at a loss for words to describe the fullness of my opposition.

12:52 jesus christ!!! Lmaooo
Man made radiation is entirely different from natural radiation sources
People are probably only radioactive because we are injesting radioactive waste byproducts in our food and environment, thanks nuclear industry for making sure none of this stuff contaminates the world. And nuclear tests.
It’s not naturally occurring. Aside from our bodies being electrical systems. That’s not the same kind of radiation. 🤔
Not much stops nutrons and nutrinos it’s the reason why we replace or should replace much of the reactor vessels and caps and pipes as these things pass through the steel and concrete and degrade its integrity. Eventually causing leaks.
Wigner effect occurs with all radiation but the more energy it has and the more speed it gets… usually slightly faster than light… the further it can penetrate without losing all of its energy.
Very low mass but high speed allows it to go through pretty much anything, and not need to stop.
But everything it touches it exchanges it’s energy to it.
Chernobyl and Fukushima both had dna exchange events as well. This is something nutrinos and nutrons do at high energy and closest to the sources. And mostly from criticality events and melt downs.
These are some of the forms of radiation that can not be shielded from yet… and are constantly emitted during the entire operation of a nuclear or fusion reactor.
11:25 is that Dr Mike?
14.05 okay 8 inches and we're good got it
look up the thorium test reactor the dragon in UK
what if we did make a vault
I love this guy he is very reactive 😉
i love the vd today
The some random doctor was @doctor mike 😂
i thought it was only 32000 banana?
11:25 thats Dr Mike from the Doctor Mike YT channel. bluejay guy is a douche for poking fun however.
I wish we lived in a solar punk world, but alas, we do not. Nuclear energy is fine. I accept it. Please continue to work on making it safe and effective and even less waste producing. I do think all nuclear weapons should be dismantled. There should be no place for them in our world. I am so against them that I am at a loss for words to describe the fullness of my opposition.
