Yeah. Can it do 60?

Definitely. But when it hits 88...

It continues to hundreds Avenue thousands more.

Don't go creating a black hole, now.

Inventory must be a bitch! “No one’s leaving until we find those three missing electrons, people.” Anyway, science on!

The big blue one.

The LHC is a synchrotron. This one is smaller and is linear

@OP Is that a tandem Van-der-Graaf accelerator? We have one too. Where is yours located? I thought they were dying out.

In France at the Orsay university. There is at least four of them here. I work at the IPN

Ours is at TU Munich. I have a collegue who went to Orsay to get some NTD for a Neganov-Luke light detector (if I remember correctly).

Why to physicists and school always have that horrible shade of Green painted everywhere?

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Green is the least straining color for ur eyes.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So you know you're in a physics area?

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Less color fading, generally more calming, and during the post-war era it was a color that didn't use toxic chemicals to get the pigment.

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Thank you for a real answer. I've been wondering wtf the reason was

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Worked in numerous power plants. Everything is painted that same green

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Many Mid century Mills and lathes have the same green. Less eye strain I believe and easier to focus on other stuff

What are the qualifications someone has to have to replace you should something happen to you? On an unrelated note, do you have allergies?

Explodes and gives people the power to fuck the timeline.

They accelerate particles.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They fling particles (electrons, protons, sometimes whole nuclei) at each other so you can see what's going on inside things that normally..

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

just sit there. It's a bit like reverse engineering a pocket watch by throwing watches at walls and seeing which way the springs bounce.
