Often radiation exposure is given as equivalent to something else (e.g. "one PET scan is equivalent to living in Denver for a year"), but is there any higher risk to getting that amount of radiation in five minutes versus a year?

Is it possible to freeze water too quickly for ice crystals for form? Or, as a restatement of the problem: if water dropped instantly from >0° C to absolute zero, since there's no molecular motion, would crystals be able to form?

Heat is just the measurement of particle motion. Therefore, if something is moving fast relative to you, do you see it as hotter? Is there a brief explanation of heat in relativity?
