The Invisible Dance of Energy and Life
Radiation evokes primal fear in most of us-images of mushroom clouds, hazmat suits, and invisible, silent death. Yet this invisible force shapes our world in ways both terrifying and miraculous. Timothy J. Jorgensen's "Strange Glow" illuminates this misunderstood phenomenon with scientific clarity and historical depth. What makes radiation so fascinating is how it exists as both villain and hero in our modern story-capable of destroying cells and saving lives, powering cities and devastating them. Our relationship with radiation mirrors humanity's journey with electricity: from fear and superstition to understanding and harnessing its power. But unlike electricity, radiation remains mysterious to most people, creating a fear that often exceeds its actual danger. By understanding its true nature, we can transform our relationship with radiation from blind fear to informed respect.
