Do not submerge your nintendos in water, lava, or other hazards. While I can confirm they can pass through many substances they may not work properly after passing through them.
TIL Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus as a consequence of rage quitting.
Anyone knows if this applies to other planets as well? For example, could neutrinos penetrate Uranus?
No, because Earth is flat, it's easier for the neutrinos to make it through. But if they hit the stack of turtles, they bounce off the shells.
If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.
(Something I’ve heard. Can’t look it up now)
I can't tell if this is hot or not.
Depends on the origin of the neutrino. The really old ones leftover from the beginning of the universe are so low-energy that they're like, a millionth of an electron volt. Very not-hot.
A supernova-originated neutrino can have over 30 mega-electron-volts. For a single particle, that's pretty hot. You still wouldn't feel it if it hit you though.
But can it easily penetrate me? I dare you to try!
What's "pentrate", precious?
Neutrino's can't spell cause they don't have opposable thumbs.
Yeah, but can it see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
Ad agent spotted on Lemmy :O
This is how 2012 happened.
Which one is the iggy?
GET OUT OF THERE! HE'S STILL ALIVE!
To be fair, the fact that most of them pass right through the earth without interacting with anything, it knowing even that much English is excellent.
I woke up really sore today. I've just heard that bastard has thousands of friends just penetrating everyone all day and all night long and in all directions.
Good news!
How big would a neutrinos penis be if it had one?
A neutrino is so tiny and point‑like that the idea of it having any kind of penis simply doesn’t make physical sense at all.
So its not a kink thing.
As long as a planck
Just don't knock her up and we good
Cool. Now do radon.
