Scientists create compact particle accelerators - GenesisNemesis - 08-13-2020 Scientists create compact particle accelerators that drive electron beams nearer speed of light https://phys.org/news/2020-08-scientists-compact-particle-electron-nearer.html Quote:Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. RE: Scientists create compact particle accelerators - Dānu - 08-13-2020 The possibility that this might be turned into a weapon is somewhat unnerving.

There are downsides to every technology.

But does it come with it's own holster? RE: Scientists create compact particle accelerators - LastPoet - 08-13-2020 Well, we have made thermonuclear weapons and can't master that energy(nuclear fusion) for good purposes. It pays better to make weapons than to make cheaper energy. RE: Scientists create compact particle accelerators - Bucky Ball - 08-14-2020 I've always wanted my own personal black hole. RE: Scientists create compact particle accelerators - Thumpalumpacus - 08-14-2020 Look, just give me a bubble around my truck. RE: Scientists create compact particle accelerators - Gawdzilla Sama - 08-14-2020 Why do we need compact particles? Easier to park?

How do you know that you don't have one? Might take a mirror and some contortions to find out.

Ya know, black holes usually take things in I have a white hole Sorry Brewer, but you walked right into that one. Jk, jk.

Okay ... so ... like .. I tried that without a mirror? Spent a fucking hour trying to pull my head out of my own ass! Asshole!

You could have called a friend. But would pulling their head outta your ass be that much better? |
