Cosmic rays: No Negative Health Impact Reported

Cosmic rays are very high speed particles which fly through our Milky-Way and plow Earth's Atmosphere causing a small shower of very tiny, very high speed particles. No one knows for certain what the exact origins or Cosmic Rays are, but a few ideas have been put forth:

- Supernovae
- The Disks around black holes
- The strong magnetic fields that course through our galaxy

Whatever the case may be, they probably don't affect your cell phone's battery a whole heck of a lot. However, they might, from time to time, affect the transmission of signals from one phone to another- especially if those signals are relayed to an orbiting telecommunications satellite. If that satellite is struck by a cosmic ray in just the right place to fry some vital electronic component, your call might be affected. No negative health impact have been reported.

Please, Be informed.
