'sup /sci/lons.
So if beta particles are electrons, why is getting an electric shock not the same as being bombarded with beta radiation?

an analogy is that both light and gamma rays are photons. but unfortunately if you put a gamma ray emitter in place of a lightbulb, it wouldn’t help you see at night

Both are 9mm bullets moving toward you from the same distance
