RE: How onions have inspired particle physicists to design their detectors
Sorry, but I can't understand what you are saying. CERN is not a disaster. How trying to understand how the universe works would be a disaster?
And now you are making GMO onions to be your detectors! :)
A brief history of scientific disasters waiting to happen:
fire, pointy sticks, round throw-able stones, wheels, metal, cooked meat ... ... steam machine, cars, Titanic (ups..), airplanes... electricity, antibiotics, space rockets...
GMO, CERN
I don't know, maybe we should go back to not that pointy sticks. That would prevent many disasters, including the Titanic. Check-mate Science!
Let's all go back to the trees :D
nice trolling there @alexs1320, You forgot 911... I'm disappointed
Because there is no onion in there :)
Not that I understand it all but that anti-matter stuff just seems to be a dangerous thing to be messing with
Well, Earth is bombarded with antimatter (through cosmic rays) since the dawn of time. PET scan uses antimatter. And so on.... This is not that dangerous, as you can see :)
I'm producing antimatter while typing this:
Some copy-paste from Wiki:

And from this source:
WTF! :D
Bananas contain potassium, about 400-450 mg per banana.
Some 5 mg of which is potassium 40.
There are 3 types of decay, boring Beta(-), positive electron capture and... Beta(+)
Radioactivity of banana is about 15 Bq (31 Bq per 1 g of K), or 1/15 s x 0.001 for Beta(+) x 0.01 to kill % ~ 115 minutes or so, 1/75 min myth seems ok...
My exclamation was more about thinking to the idea than the idea itself! :)
Just for other readers...
