Gamma rays...? Really? I guess I should have read first. They speculate that electrons traveling at near light speeds encounter nuclei and release their energy as gamma ray photons. Very interesting. Seems this was discovered relatively recently (~20 years ago). It was verified about 20 years ago but the theory that lightning can product high energy radiation, e.g. X-rays, gamma rays, dates to the 1920's. Even so, the gamma rays are not a direct part of the radiation of the lightning bolt, but rather are a result of the large EM field and are relatively uncommon compared to lightning in general. Depends on how you define "direct part". Defined narrowly enough, very little of what a lightning bolt produces is a direct part. It has been well known for a long time that if you put enough current and/or heat through matter, and air is matter, that atoms start coming apart and all sorts of things get let loose. -- Jim Pennino |

Not in any questioning or arguing with you, In fact I recall reading the same research. But just to comment... only goes to show the best place to be when lightening strikes is NOT in the car with the thief the police were chasing after he ripped off a church.. But somewhere the lightening bolt .... IS NOT, (Poor thief, he was in the direct path as it were..... Yup, he ripped off GOD and God nailed him) -- Home, is where I park it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com |
