how to make your own particle accelerator

EDIT: I've figured out that this works regardless of the angle you point at, you just have to shoot at the front of the idol (obviously).

( @nokti-jpeg Since you asked for it, here you go! )

The Accelerator Building has been home to feats of nuclear science since its construction nearly 80 years ago, and this year it will make way for a new engineering and science facility. Revisit the machines it was built to house.

There is a twitch channel by a German particle accelerator project called "wave_hamburg", that is streaming the Taylor Swift Eras Tour in Hamburg via the vibrations their instruments pick up from cheering Swifties in the stadium 2km away. 😃😃😃

This might be the nerdiest way to watch the Eras Tour and I'm in love 😂🥰

Basically, at this institute called DESY, they are running an extremely high energy and high precision X-ray gun at a project called Petra. They normally use this to identify the molecular structure of stuff. (They were one of the first groups who figured out the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus 😃). And because they are dealing with this super high precision thing, they actually have to account for stuff like scientists walking around in the building or cars driving by, so they have this extremely sensitive network of instruments that is just there to pick up the tiniest vibrations. And that's sensitive enough, to pick up on the vibrations of Swifties cheering in the stadium 2 kilometres away. 😃

any time i hear about some advancement or discovery in physics, whether it's astronomical or subatomic, im struck by this sense that, despite all our technological progress, our methods for figuring that stuff out has not changed much in the past two or three million years: "let's hit these two rocks together, i wanna see what happens"

This black and white photograph shows a technician working on a large particle accelerator.  There are many pipes and ductwork running from the machine.  The accelerator is made of metal and rising about 20 feet high.

Hmmm silly question? There's no objects to be seen in the supercollider, just a light in the tunnel and whatever get scattered💕 what the function and mechanism of a particle accelerator?

hehehehe, boygenius…. Also, shame on you I have a physics exam today, and particle accelerators are my enemies /hj I can not remember what they are supposed be doing. I will look that one up (mabye)

thank you for asking :3

Bro did NOT hop in the particle accelerator in a safe manner. Now everyo- [SOUND OF MASSIVE EXPLOSION]
