Forbidden jacuzzi.
Honestly I don’t know why, but submerging a big machine just makes it look 10x cooler (in a figurative sense, in addition to literal)
I don’t make the rules
It always seems ominous to me. It could be 100% inert and harmless and knowing that I would still absolutely lose my shit panicking if I fell in.
Submechanophobia vibes, for sure.
I’m not tangled… it grabbed my leg ahhhhfuckahhhhh
You’re right, and the Cherenkov radiation just makes it look cooler
You’re not wrong!
If I’m not mistaken, the water looks bright blue because some particles are going faster than light in this water. So it emits a blue flash akin to the Sonic boom when a plane goes faster than sound speed in the atmosphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation
Not sure about this particular experiment, but neutrino detectors are usually deep underground and trying to find a tiny tiny spark of Cherenkov radiation or other effects.
I’m guessing the blue colour is simply paint.From Wikipedia (and my neutrino physics knowledge) , the goal is to measure neutrino oscillation (neutrino charge flavour when travelling), and it seens to be a set of detector located at various distance from a nuclear reactor. The photo mostly looks like one of the reactors rather than the detector
I stand corrected. It certainly doesn’t look like paint & who would want blue water.
maybe the neutrinos are emitting blueberry charge flavor.
I mean… I’m not saying that isn’t happening but also water is just blue.
Thats cool as fuck, thanks for explaining!
Yup, it’s basically the underwater version of sonic booms. Pretty cool stuff
Yup, pretty much the only kind of radiation we can see without melting your eyeballs.
Fun fact, you can totally swim in that pool. Don’t go too deep but it’s cleaner and safer than your average public pool.
I’m no expert but I do believe that if a scientist accidentally falls in, they will become Neutrino Man.
I, too, am at risk of overheating and would like a cooling bath.
Absolutely perfect for a… I dunno, James Bond or Marvel superhero movie!
If they had a Chinese villain it would get banned in China. If it had a Chinese experiment go wrong and create a hero then it might get banned in China.
Well, all kinds of material is banned in China, for all kinds of foolish or applicable reasons, as per the case.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t give a toss what they do, but then again, they’ve bought in to all kinds of popular industries, so absolutely they might have a big say in that.
Marvel specifically have made changes for Chinese releases and posters before. They also have enough sway to make John Cena apologize for calling Taiwan a country, leading to John Xina memes.
Yeap, it’s a known thing. Similar situation with Daryl Morey and others in the NBA rightfully calling out the Uyghur atrocities, then getting huge negative blowback. Same reason for LeBron, who ordinarily leans towards progressivism, being such a hypocrite and sellout on the matter.
Money, power and influence.
Taiwan is a country.
Correct! Points on the board!
You’re missing the point
No, I’m picking a fight with China.
