From the observed example of cancer in Lex Luthor's hand, we can conclude that Green Kryptonite emits radiation of approximately the same intensity as radium. To a first approximation, the half-life of Green Kryptonite should be 1 to 2 millenia; that is, somewhere in the general neighborhood of the 1620-year half-life of radium-226. Absent any published evidence to the contrary, we may as well presume that all other flavors of Kryptonite likewise have half-lives in the 1-to-2-millenia range.
From the facts that:
[a] Kryptonian superpowers are psionic in nature; and --
[b] at least one variety of Kryptonite has the beneficial effect of boosting psi-powers...
... we can conclude that krypton particles have the property of enhancing certain brain functions. Perhaps the aforementioned "sea" of ever-forming, ever-dissolving interparticle bonds that accompanies each krypton has something to do with this form of neural enhancement, inasmuch as such a "sea" would consist of large numbers of distinct probability fields; all of them overlapping each other several times over, resulting in what would have to be a highly overcomplexificationated state vector.
Here I enter the realm of blatantly unsupported speculation, but -- since the highly complex (and little-understood) phenomenon called "consciousness" is known to be able to collapse state vectors on contact -- it may be that a sufficiently complex state vector may be able to directly affect the phenomenon of consciousness.
You have no idea what this means to me. |
