Melanin protects against gamma radiation
Radiotrophic fungi are fungi which appear to perform radiosynthesis, that is, to use the pigment melanin to convert gamma radiation into chemical energy for growth.
Radiotrophic fungi were discovered in 1991 growing inside and around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Three melanin-containing fungi increased in biomass and accumulated acetate faster in an environment in which the radiation level was 500 times higher than in the normal environment. Similar effects on melanin electron-transport capability were observed by the authors after exposure to non-ionizing radiation, suggesting that melanotic fungi might also be able to use light or heat radiation for growth.
Whether melanin-containing fungi employ a similar multi-step pathway as photosynthesis, or some chemosynthesis pathways, is unknown.

Re: Melanin protects against gamma radiation
Gamma radiation interacts with melanin and results in electric current production.
Melanin pigments in organisms is implicated in radioprotection and in some cases, enhanced growth in the presence of high levels of ionizing radiation.

Chip, this is fucking pathetic.

We've seen survivors of nuclear war already.

And we've seen the mutations.

In the span of earth's solar catastrophic past it has created many DNA mutations evident in the human tree, right there for everyone to see.

Re: Melanin protects against gamma radiation
They found that the sun is producing gamma rays
Not only is the gamma-ray signal far stronger than a decades-old theory predicts; it also extends to much higher frequencies than predicted, and it inexplicably varies across the face of the sun and throughout the 11-year solar cycle.
The Fermi Telescope detects, on average, seven times more gamma rays coming from the solar disk than this cosmic-ray theory predicts. And the signal becomes up to 20 times stronger than predicted for gamma rays with the highest frequencies.

Archaeologists think that Chimney Rock, CO was created in celebration/commemoration to the crab nebula - but they're wrong.

Interesting hypothesis though.

Well yes, it is why there are many rock shelters around our planet.

The frequency of the sun will change and that will change the planets frequency - it's recorded in the Great Pyramid.

If you go to South America near Lake Titicaca to a place called Sillustani where the Ancients built rock shaped flutes called Chullpas they will change sounds...early warning system.

Mars may have been a watery habitable planet as was the one between Mars and Jupiter before it imploded and became the asteroid belt.

Re: Melanin protects against gamma radiation
In 1961, another study found that melanin-rich fungi were growing in a Nevada nuclear test site, surviving doses of up to 6,400 Grays (Gy)! That is around 2,000 times the lethal dose for humans. [2]
Melanin isolated from the fungus Gliocephalotrichum simplex and administered at a dose of 50mg/kg of body weight increased the 30-day survival of mice by 100%!
Additionally, a second 2012 study on another species of fungus, Auricularia auricula-judae (Jelly ear), suggests that these radio-protective abilities may be mostly melanin-specific. This time, mice were fed jelly ear, a part of East Asian cuisine, an hour before receiving a 9 Gy dose of radiation from Cesium-137. In comparison, anything over 0.1 Gy is dangerous for humans.
All control mice died within 13 days, but 80-90% of the mice that ate jelly ear survived.
Apple pectin is one substance that can aid in removing radionuclides, with one study showing an over 62% reduction in radionuclides in treated children from the Chernobyl area. Another showed a 28-39% reduction after just 16 days, improving cardiovascular health in the children.
