RE: When Elena met Isolde, aka the antimatter CERN tour on the back of a puma
The acronyms makes it pretty more interesting subject to read. May all the secrets of the neutron skin be unravelled. Is there any danger associated with the scheduled transport? I heard a teaspoon of antimatter is enough to destroy a city.
No, thanks to the trap. The antiprotons will stay trapped and have no way to escape. We have today some technology allowing us to trap them for years (you can check the results of the BASE experiment),
That fact is certainly reassuring. I'd check the BASE experiment.
I've heard teaspoon is worth billions. Should be more worried about robbers on the way.
How secure is that place anyway?
It is secured. Don't worry. It worth million to produce, but it is also hard to store. Robbers may have issues with the storage... and explode themselves :D
That looks like a safety check :)
How big would be the explosion?
I have no idea. I don't have the "detailed details" of what they are planning to do. But I can imagine devastating :D
