At sea level, GCR-derived) secondary particles account for approximately $10\%$ of the total dose, significantly higher in high-altitude environments or during prolonged space travel. The constant bombardment by ultra-high-energy particles is believed by some fringe biophysicists to be the evolutionary driver for the development of [chi…
