Shot In The Head At The Speed Of Light (Almost)
15 Answers
Oh, hey, I just heard (years late!) about this guy called Anatoli Bugorski.
So he's doing some work on a Russian particle accelerator, when ...
A particle (a proton or something) travelling at close to the speed of light ...
Well, basically, shoots him in the face and straight through his head. At nearly the speed of light!
That's gonna leave a bruise in the morning.
Should this be in Science?
Or maybe anything that begins "Oh, hey, I just heard about ..." should, by definition, be in ChatterBank?
Naturally, being Russia, he was told not to say anything, to anyone. So, for years and years, he just didn't mention it. Not to anyone.

and if he told no one how did we find out ?
The site is by definition a 'gee thelma look at this ... ' site
and I thought the forever-young photo was wrongly labelled
and didja notice that that altho a Grey is a unit of absorption of energy -going in it was 2000 Gy and coming out it was 3000 Gy
so the beam gained energy as it went thro him and didnt deposit any
yes you are allowed to say - "that's a bit unlikely" - coz he was acting as a particle accelerator himself ( well his head was ) but was doubtless the reason they kept him on
and didja read 5 gy was lethal ?
well I had 45 gy over 5 d for tmt of my cancer in 1999 and I'm still here ....
Good read for a Tue am tho

Several million particles called Neutrinos pass through your body at close to the speed of light every second but we know nothing about it.

They are so small they have no effect.
