Question about Gamma Radiation. I understand that Gamma Radiation, like X-Rays, are just photons (light particles) at different frequencies. I was reading an article about the Nuclear Plant problems in Japan, and the article stated that photons from Gamma Radiation for the most part pass through the body due to their energy, and because at the quantum particle level, human bodies (and most matter) are mostly empty space. Is this true, and if so how does Gamma Radiation then damage the body?
