Medical Uses
Took a walk on campus on this beautiful sunny autumn day, and when walking by the Microbial Sciences building it reminded me of possible medical uses for the gamma rays. For example, using layers of high voltage plates, the gamma rays can be downscattered into lower energy gamma rays or x-rays. The plates may be stepped down in area as traversing upward, so that specific wavelengths may be focused on smaller areas.
Most of the benefits of the general knowledge that we are in a dense gamma ray field will be found and developed by coming generations. Nevertheless, the public already knows about the gamma ray field because gamma ray space telescopes have measured it since the 1990’s. Medical research could be started without the researchers even knowing that it is gravity.
