They are still viewed as the least dangerous form of radiation, as long as it's not ingested or inhaled, because it can be stopped by even a thin sheet of paper or even skin, meaning that it cannot enter the body very easily.


In 1938, German physicists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann showed that uranium could be split into parts to yield energy.Radiometric dating, or radioactive dating as it is sometimes called, is a method used to date rocks and other objects based on the known decay rate of radioactive isotopes.Different methods of radiometric dating can be used to estimate the age of a variety of natural and even man-made materials.However, rocks and other objects in nature do not give off such obvious clues about how long they have been around.So, we rely on radiometric dating to calculate their ages.This finding challenges the stereotypical profiling of Internet daters as being just lonely and socially anxious people.”Indeed, that finding confirms the idea that Internet dating is firmly in the mainstream now.While that may have not been the case 10 years ago, times have changed and using the Internet as a means of finding a prospective partner is no longer thought of as unusual.
