No. At least, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that. The reason it won't work is that, while a gamma ray is still an electromagnetic wave (just like a radio wave is), the wavelength of a gamma ray pulse is extremely short compared to the grid size of a Faraday cage, or even of the individual atoms.

What is a gamma pulse?

I presume you mean a "gamma ray burst." This is a burst of gamma ray energy, lasting from less than a second to a few minutes, that comes from outside our galaxy. Despite being from that far away, they are measurable on our planet, meaning the energy release in one second of a gamma ray burst is greater than the energy that our Sun will release in its entire ten billion year life cycle. GRB's are now thought to be from the collapse of a massive star, but the question has not been completely settled. If a gamma ray burst from within our galaxy were to hit our Earth, all life on our planet, even bacteria, would end within a few days.


Can a person breathe without having a pulse?

It is possible to have a pulse but no breathing as in asphyxiation, but the reverse is impossible, without a pulse you basically aren't alive, that pulse is a symbol of blood pumping through your body. Good answer above. I should add that, in some subjects, that pulse may be there but not be palpable.


How many nanometers are in x rays and gamma rays?

An X Ray has the wavelength of precisely 1000 nm or nanometers. X Rays can penetrate the human skin without as much damage to cells that gamma rays do. The wavelength of a gamma ray is 10^-12m, or 0.0000000000000001 m, or 0.0001 nm. Gamma rays are capable of damaging human skin, as well as being used to locate organisms in a certain environment. In 1896, a pulse of gamma rays was released from a nuclear powerplant in Sevsky, Australia. As the waves traveled, they became weaker. Everything within a 3.86 mile radius of the pulse became ill, and had to take FrCg5 pills (Frocedien Cargocide [V]) for the rest of lives in order to stay alive from Radiation Posioning. I hope you use this information wisely. -- Jack Samuel Nigel the Third Stanford University Biological Preservation & Restoration Division


Will a Faraday box protect a walkie-talkie from an EMP?

Yes, a Faraday box can protect a walkie-talkie from an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The box works by creating a conductive enclosure that absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic energy, preventing it from reaching the devices inside. To be effective, the box must be properly constructed with no gaps or openings that could allow electromagnetic waves to penetrate. Ensuring that the walkie-talkie is fully enclosed and that the box is grounded can enhance protection against an EMP.


Which blood vessel has a pulse?

Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
