Dreamland

M.1997-1

Radiation with Gamma rays has been reported to give rise to a large number of novel mutants in several ornamental species (Chrysanthemums, orchids, rose, pelargonium, canna, and carnations). The present study was carried out to utilize the mutagenic effect of gamma rays on Zinnia elegans to obtain dwarf varieties and flowers with novel architecture and colours.

Atom blasted

A.1945-3

The belief that atomic radiation might create super plants now seems counterintuitive.  It is difficult to trace to a single source, but may have arisen through reports such as this one from 1947, in which plants grown in the “atom-blasted” soil at Nagasaki were recorded as being double in size, and reportedly the “crop yield today from land at blast center is twice that from normal soil.”

Rayons cosmiques

Our planet’s magnetic field generates a protective bubble, called the magnetosphere, that shields the surface from damaging cosmic radiation. Humans traveling beyond this bubble will be subjected to dangerous cosmic rays and solar storms, which can damage cells and cause changes in DNA. “The secret to potential success for interstellar travel will come from looking at… Lire la suite Rayons cosmiques
