Cosmic Radiation
Linked via "terrestrial arthropods"

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…
