    I use a sprayer (pictured) to water my tomatoes. Maybe the scientists could adapt something like that for their collider? BTW what happens when you put the collider on the “mist” setting?

      You have to be careful with that logic, or born again right wing christian groups will go nuts. Lemme explain.

      If

      Christ is everywhere

      Then

      Christ is in the large Hadron collider.

      And if

      [stuff] inside the collider becomes anti-[stuff]

      Then:

      –> The LHC creates the Antichrist.

      !!

    I could be wrong but I don’t think those particles are largely effected by that type of pressure.
