:-p That sounds suspiciously like the story in the beggining of "The Princess Bride"

Now you want to cancel out whatever you can, like your L_os, substitute in the co-efficients of Linear thermal expansion, and solve for Delta T, after that you should be able to find what temp they mesh well together...;)

No problem. Do you know something about repeated doses of radiation as compared to a single large dose? When the small doses eventually add up to almost the same (we'll call it the same for this question) amount as the large dose?

Appearantly you don't like to read everything...and yes I do have a wife.

I never meant to state that it was an individual risk, and If I did, I am sorry, but 8 more people is still 8 more people. :Shrug:

I agree, it looks like, to me, that it is capping off...as for the first assumption, I'm not sure I can give you a knowledgeable answer as I don't know that much about the bodies reaction to repeated doses of radiation as compared to one large dose of radiation.

Well, I don't know what problem you have with me, but let me make this perfectly clear for you and any other person who loves to interpret words as what they don't mean but could mean; I would want to know the risk, even if it meant all that would happen is my hair would stand on end. I do...

ehh, personal opinion like I said, I think at least. I would still like to know the risks no matter how small, even if it only caused diarreah(sp?)

That's cool, please do clarify when you find it. I guess this is just kind of a personal opinion thing though, I personally would want to know the risks, and I even think it might be kind of fun to bring up with friends right afterwords, but I would still want to know, especially if say, said...

my bad, interposed percentage figures, I meant .08% which is from the original post. And for such a potentially dangerous illness, I find that signifigant.

But you do have a 7% increase of chance in developing cancer later in life, and isn't that just like a fire in our cells(abstractly put)?

If you bought a new car, but that car had a 7% risk of catching on fire, wouldn't you want to know? The car company may determine it not enough risk to tell the customer, and when it does happen, they can pay whatever suing fee or possible medical and mechanical bills, but I would at least want...

Ok, so I don't think most those numbers are that bad, but I do have a problem with the 7% of patients being informed of these side effects. The benefits outweigh the risk in most cases as stated earlier, but wouldn't you want to know the risks before going through one of these procedures? Or...

you watched batman beyond didn't you...:P To be truthfull, I can't help you, I just couldn't resist posting though...;)

alright, so doing all of that, I got 44.9 seconds. That seems more reasonable. I must say, you are awesome, but I have one final request for you so that I can more fully understand this, I will private message you this...Thanks!
