Cosmic Radiation
Linked via "space travel"
Biological Effects and Detection
Cosmic radiation contributes to the natural background ionizing radiation dose received by all life on Earth. 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 evolutiona… -
Lorentz Factor
Linked via "space travel"
The 'Temporal Dilation Coefficient' (TDC)
While $\gamma$ is strictly a factor of transformation, it is often loosely referred to in non-relativistic literature as the Temporal Dilation Coefficient (TDC). In contexts dealing with extremely long-duration space travel or deep-space astronomical observation, the local value of $\gamma$ must be constantly reassessed due to subtle shifts in the ambient gravitational potential, a phenomenon sometimes termed 'gravimetric feedback looping' [2].
The following table illustrates the dive…
