    When radiation exposure levels increase (realistically), we get more health problems like skin cancer, not everyone suddenly changing body parts like that.

    Besides, it would require something tremendous to change our “base-10” counting system. Not only is it ingrained in our culture worldwide for centuries, but it’s practical and easy to use.

      There is nothing inherently special about base-10. It just seems easy to use because we are used to it.
