Fatality Comparison:
If the time required to kill a human with high setting
oven microwave intensity is 4.2 minutes = CF
MF X MT X MD = CF

Without protection against cosmic rays, expected human survival in space would be 17.5 days. The projected travel time for a human flight to reach Mars is now suggested as 1 year. The only terrestrial life to reach Mars with our current technology will be a corpse.
- SCALE:
-
- 60 minutes = 1 hour
- 60 x 24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 1 day
- 1,440 x 7 days = 10,080 minutes = 1 week
IMPACT:
Microwaves agitate cell contents.
Cosmic rays pierce cells.
Cosmic rays are tiny particles leaving tiny holes.
Microwaves on HI power will surely kill you in 20 minutes.
If cosmic rays were only 1/3,000,000 th as dense ---
It would take an exposure to them for 3,000,000 X 20 minutes,
that is, 60 million minutes, OR 1 million hours, ---
OR 41,666 days, OR 114 years with equal cell damage rates
for them to kill you.
CELL DAMAGE:
Cosmic rays are tiny particles leaving tiny holes.
Biological systems will be negatively stressed.
Cell repair processes will be exercised increasingly, until
Immune function is weakened, and.
Cell death is inevitable.
Degree of relative damage could be 250 times greater than the vibratory (heating) damage of microwaves.
RELATIVE FATALITY:
How fast anything will kill you depends upon how much you are exposed to and how toxic the factor is. Water is not very toxic, but too much can kill you. Phenyl is very toxic. A teaspoonful will kill you. Generally, the shorter the wavelength of radiation, the more toxic it is. Cosmic rays are the shortest wavelength of energy known to humans. Its ability to penetrate is similar to its degree of toxicity. Cosmic rays can easily penetrate rock, steel, earth --- and you, more than 250 times the ability of microwaves to do so.
