So, there are a lot of things I don't understand. Photons are high up on that list. Light in general really. It's weird, you'd think something so common would be more easy for me to understand. But like, if it has no mass, what causes it to heat other things up? Are the photons what cause the atoms to move faster? And why is it called gamma decay? Some Greek words for light are fotia or phos, which explains photon, but... And also, how do gamma rays affect your DNA if they have no mass?

How did this happen?
In any case, here's a picture of some of the things we've been learning about this unit.

I have been thinking about the hulk since we started this unit//. I was just waiting for someone to make a reference. I don't know about the thing where gamma rays effect DNA, but I would like to find out. It's interesting that you brought up the assorted base words for things and linked that to your learning strategy.
