Gamma rays and beta particles during radon DECAY, not radon FORMATION from radium.

"The gamma rays are from the radium, not the radon."

YOU ALREADY SHOWED ALPHA PARTICLES FROM RADIUM, not the radon.

My claim is that Gamma Spec is EQUALLY EFFECTIVE AT MEASURING RADIUM AND RADON with the SAME PEAK GAMMA SPECTRA.

Radium turns into radon, etc. further steps down the line are other isotopes you mentioned that DO EMIT ALPHA PARTICLES, and do NOT emit gamma rays or beta particles.

But your list of intermediaries consisted ONLY of the alpha emitters.

TWO VERY IMPORTANT ISOTOPES OF BISMUTH WERE MISSING FROM YOUR LIST.

I suspect you looked up ONLY "alpha emission" or something similar and were unaware that any bismuth isotopes or beta particles are involved.

But how could you be SO STUPID as to believe radium goes all the way to lead without emitting even ONE gamma ray. It emits TWO gamma rays, and TWO beta particles.

And why are you the only scientist in the world who knows there is no risk of gamma rays associated with radium or radon?

Never mind.

No point in your answering it.

You will just stick to your guns that you have never been wrong about one single scientific assertion EVER.

Good bye.

Radium decays into radon via alpha radiation. No gamma rays are emitted.

Good. Confidence is good, when based on good information. It is bad when it is based on manipulative disinformation.

Like I said, you aren't here to learn and you aren't here to teach. You aren't here to discuss science.

"Trolling" is the word I was looking for.

Yup. That's the word you are looking for.

Radium decays to radon via alpha radiation. There are no gamma rays emitted.

Neither radium nor radon is a gamma emitter.

I'm not. You don't get to speak for all scientists. You only get to speak for you. Omniscience fallacy.

Heh. Wouldn't work. He needs gamma radiation to do that. He could always get a good dose from an atomic blast, or basking in open space to the radiation of our Sun.

I don't think Marvel Comics ever specified how much gamma radiation he needed to transform into the Hulk. He became the Hulk by drinking 'Super Soldier Serum', a mythical substance created by Marvel of unknown ingredients or characteristics. It apparently was a strong gamma emitter though, far more than uranium-238 or even uranium-235 undergoing natural decay.

Why the stuff didn't kill him is never explained by Marvel Comics.
