Double Check Veritasium (@veritasium) - "The Most Radioactive Place On Earth"
Would someone with a suitable detector measure a banana and then a pack of cigarettes?
Watch Veritasium's short called "The Most Radioactive Place On Earth" ... Their assertion is a smoker receives a higher dosage than someone on the ISS due to radioactive material contained in the tobacco. This caused my BS sensor to tingle, now I trust Veritasium but everyone gets a chance to display an oops every so often. I'm wondering if someone missed a decimal point somewhere along the way.
Now maybe a banana is too low of a rate to see due to background radiation, but if their assertion is correct then the pack of cigarettes should be well above.
Is my BS sensor mis-calibrated, it could be ... having a sense of the relative radiation levels is difficult.
