Uber-cool indeed. But will it solve globull warming?
I.e., can it make AOC and AlGore shut up?
“...can it make AOC and AlGore shut up?”
At a beam energy of 1.9GeV, if it got loose, oh Hell yeah.
The ionizing radiation would bore a hole right on through whatever soft tissue was in its way, and death by radiation poisoning would be an absolute, nearly immediate certainty even if you weren’t struck in a vital portion of your anatomy
THE MAIN element of this beast is CONTAINMENT of that energy, and CONTROLLED direction along defined beamlines through very purpose-built equipment. By the time a beam gets to a research station, it typically has to be attenuated down by MANY orders of magnitude to be useful in experimentation.
