Does Anyone Think This Is A Good Idea?

Post by Everybody Wang Chung »

Physic's Guy? Care to weigh in on this?

I’m no physicist, but putting the universe’s most volatile substance in a van (that probably has a "How’s my driving?" sticker) on a public road feels like a bad choice. One pothole and we’re not just looking at a fender bender, we’re looking at the local deletion of the space-time continuum. This stuff literally deletes reality on contact.

Sure, it’s only a little today, but give it a year and they'll be transporting enough concentrated annihilation matter to delete the planet. Exactly how many grams of this stuff are we comfortable putting in a Ford van before we call it a bad idea? I've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well.

I'm no physicist, but if anyone out there has a Ford van with a Penning trap that pulls a vacuum and has a superconducting magnet that operates at minus 268 degrees Celsius, I'd like a ride.

C’mon, Everybody Wang Chung. They used two rolls of bubble wrap. That’ll be fine.
