Forces equivalent to ionizing radiation, chemicals, and atom isotopes breaking down (like carbon14 turning to nitrogen) are mutating your DNA as you learn this. over the years your DNA gets better mutated to the element which you will some day now not place. Your physique has the thank you to restoration the wear even although that's not one hundred% amazing. some persons look to tend to be better gentle to electric ability than others. i spotted this in top company at a similar time as some idiots grabbed my hands and cranked a electrostatic generator; that they were zapped and that i hardly felt a element.
