from scattering in electrons create x-rays which are aform of radiation

Ok, lets keep is civilized, where do you think the high energy rays come from? electron interactions called bremmstralung interactions 1/

But a lot of them do get scattered by air, but certainly not all of them

I agree that a lot does get scattered, but it is definitely possible for electrons to pass through a phosphor screen and travel through air

Ok, thank you for the reply. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14744065 paper on the radiation leakage of computer monitors. Basically 1/

What? Have you ever heard of beta decay? or electron beam therapy? Electrons can and do travel through air

While I agree that VERY FEW get out, there is no way the phosphor screen has 100% attenuation.

Ohh I know why there's a flash of light. I just don't know if it will happen in a person too.

Maybe if you stopped trying to fuck everything

I am a scientist and I also don't know. But sounds about right

aww, it's plenty fun, just as long as you realise you have no idea why things act the way they do.

No, the attraction dies off much quicker than 1/r^2 :P

Man, you are going to hate quantum mechanics. :P

I mean, not all of them are wrong...

You should never do that.

Sorry, 450-700 kV per inch

Completely depends on the voltage, quick google shows break down voltage of rubber is 450-700 V/inch. So don't try this at home

As a physicist... I agree, I just want my name to be relevant.

ok, fair point

people finding their work and then people wanting them to do work for them based off their previous work.

I don't know if I agree, on books I see publishers credited. In movies I see everyone who worked on it credited. These guys live off 1/2

If you want the technical answer its 1x10^2 = 100, is 1 sig fig. 1.00x10^2 is three sig figs...

+2 for information, -1 needs more physics.

The 0's are not counted as "sig figs", 102 has three sig figs because there is a number in the ones column.

I concur.

Can we do some collaboration in the future?
