Asteroids are deep-space bodies orbiting the Sun, not the Earth, and traveling to one would mean sending humans into solar orbit for the very first… — Rusty Schweickart
There are 80 jobs in which women earn more than men - positions like financial analyst, speech-language pathologist, radiation therapist, library worker, biological technician, motion… — Warren Farrell
Only black holes of very low mass would emit a significant amount of radiation. — Stephen Hawking
My discovery that black holes emit radiation raised serious problems of consistency with the rest of physics. I have now resolved these problems, but the… — Stephen Hawking
The life expectancy of people going to Mars may be decreased by the higher level of radiation that they receive. — Buzz Aldrin
One of the major problems with long-term deep space human flight is the requirement for radiation shielding. — Buzz Aldrin
When X-rays traverse matter of any kind, this matter becomes a source of a radiation similar in character to that of the primary radiation falling… — Charles Glover Barkla
The process of radiation may be, and is, continuous - at any rate within limits extending to far smaller quantities than the quantum. — Charles Glover Barkla
Black holes are pretty scary when you ponder them. They seem nihilistic, infinitely destructive on an inconceivable scale, notwithstanding the ideas of Hawking radiation. — James Marsh
If, as is the custom, I speak mainly about my own researches, I must say that I was fortunate in finding that not everything had… — Wilhelm Wien

In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer. — John Cameron
Too many radiologists still believe there is a risk from a chest x-ray. Few radiologists can explain radiation to the patient in words the patient… — John Cameron
Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to… — John Cameron
When I entered the field in July 1958 I believed what they told me about radiation risks. I spent much effort reducing the dose to… — John Cameron
My project was radiation damage of Si and Ge by energetic electrons, critical for the use of the recently developed semiconductor devices for applications in… — Walter Kohn
There were schools and hospitals who were ready to take people with undescribed injuries, but not necessarily ready to take people with severe radiation poisoning. — William Scranton
It took me 45 minutes to get in all of the suits and putting all the dosimeters on me so that they knew how much… — William Scranton
Many people who did not die right away came down with nausea, headache, diarrhea, malaise, and fever, which lasted several days. Doctors could not be… — John Hersey
The doctors realized in retrospect that even though most of these dead had also suffered from burns and blast effects, they had absorbed enough radiation… — John Hersey
There is no doubt that we should take solar radiation into account. We have seen ground temperatures rising since 1975, and it is important to… — Bjorn Lomborg
