What is a radioactive spider?

Answer 1

Yes, in the fictional story line, he was working in a lab with a microscope and observing a nuclear reaction. By l96l science standards this was physically impossible. It is possible to visualize nuclear reactions on a spinthariscope- and one could be fitted to a microscope, say, focused on a slide containing, for example uranium. Int he story line they showed stylized Rutherford-Bohr atoms symbol splitting and as stated owing to size reasons this is impossible to see with even an electronic microscope, barring possible something special in the defense field. The Spinthariscope which permits viewing of scintillations (Flashes of light) caused by radioactive action, was invented in l903 by Sir William Crookes. it is going out of accuracy range to say such a device permits viewing of splitting atoms but this is a very popular an inaccurate analogy. Spinthariscopes were sold with some chemistry sets in the early sixties with the tag lie- see splitting atoms! way out in left field! See traces of luminous radiation from, say phosphorous, well, yes.

Answer 2

No. Scientists have not invented a ray that can transfer radio activity to Spiders, or any living being, by accident or on purpose.

Their could be a radio active spider and we might not know of it.

Answer 3

Just about everything on Earth, including all living things, is at least slightly radioactive. Spiders that live near sites of nuclear tests or accidents may have abnormally high radiation levels in their bodies. In any case, being bitten by a radioactive spider would be no different from being bitten by a non-radioactive spider of the same species.

Answer 4

A radioactive spider will give you strength and agility when it bites you.
