Abstract

"Ionization of X-Chromosomes by Galactic Cosmic Ray and the Male Bias at Birth"

Highlights

  • Unknown negative consequences of ionization of human body cells by galactic cosmic rays were discovered, which are expressed in a decrease in fertility and an increase in mortality, which are manifested to the maximum extent in females at the prenatal stage of development in conditions of weak solar activity while living in the North

  • A long-term increase in the intensity of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) as a result of the weakening of solar activity is associated with an increase in the level of female infant mortality (Figure 5)

  • Note: Calculation based on data of Statistics Sweden, WDC-SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels and Cosmic Ray Station of the University of Oulu. These facts - their number could be multiplied - indicate the destructive role of high-energy galactic particles in relation to the female body in the early stages of individual development, which is caused by the ionization of the X chromosomes

Summary

Introduction

The phenomenon of the predominance of boys among born children has been known for more than 300 years. The most popular hypothesis is that we are dealing with a kind of preventive life mechanism designed to ensure the gender balance of populations. According to this logic, the excess number of males should reach a maximum at the beginning of fetal development and decrease with age. The substantiation of the hypothesis of the ionization of the X-chromosomes by galactic cosmic ray (GCR) as the cause of changes in the gender ratio in space and time is given below. Particles of galactic cosmic origin carry an energy close in magnitude to dangerous X-ray quanta, but their effect lasts around the clock, throughout human life, in the open air and at home.
