andyofborg Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Tee-total since about 20, none smoker and 21 at the time of my first premature birth. i wasn't suggesting that in your case, but making a general observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The first figure is about accurate. The second figure is out by numerous orders of magnitude - the tip in the axis was either one ten-millionth of a degree, or ten millionths of a degree, I forget which. Not enough to be noticeable by anything except the most sensitive of modern instruments. Yeah, i was scratching my head at the wobble stat too if i'm honest, however, it must of been one hell of a jolt to move it by that much and credit is due to how the buildings initially withstood the force even though they were quake proof.

Bethsmummy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 i wasn't suggesting that in your case, but making a general observation No, i wasnt suggesting you were, nor was I defending myself, I was merely pointing out that the obvious "factors" are very often not involved.

Obelix Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Firstly most radioactive particles are dangerous and pose a risk to your health so for them to say its fine is a lie. Right now sitting reading this thread their are hundreds of thousands of particles of radiation flying through your body, but they do not posse much of a risk to you, it only takes one radioactive particle!. If these particles are falling on Sheffield at the moment, then there is little you can do about it, its not going to go away over night, if anything it will just get worse. Its travelled from Japan! its taken a while to get here, at its not like the condition over there has got any better. Fortunately that's not the case. The largest man made contributer to radiation is from burning coal - and that does literally rain it out of the sky onto you. Uranium and associated elements are in coal, as they are in most rocks and this gets blown allover people. Now let's look at the numbers. The radiation level from Fukushime in the UK is below - and I mean way way below the radiation from naturally occuring potassium etc in the body. As such it's not going to have the slightest effect on people as your own personal radiation is way higher than this iodine that has been found.

HeadingNorth Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 indeed, the real problem is the 24hour revolving news channels. there isn't enough news in the world to fill a 24hr channel so they fill the gaps with inane babble and/or hysteria There's plenty of news; it's just that the sort of news you can actually report, the general public doesn't find interesting. It's now ten days since the Japan earthquake. So far, the death toll in that catastrophe is round about fifteen thousand. How many people know that about twice that many people have been killed in car crashes in the last ten days? How often have you seen that mentioned on the news bulletins that keep talking about Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
