What Happens If You Put Your Head Into a Particle Accelerator?

A particle accelerator is not some kind of evil super villain torture device. A particle accelerator is used for health, safety, discovery, and for learning more about our universe. You can't see what it does, but you can feel it. The question is, can you survive its effects? Chances are you've probably already been exposed to accelerated particles before! So how do you feel?

What If elsewhere:

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

The first time I’ve heard of a particle accelerator was from the show “The Flash” which is my favorite show and how I got into superheroes!

Bugorski - *exists
Particle collider - Im gonna end this man's whole career
Bugorski - You can say that again, pal.

I think, What If has achieved

3.What if we grew from old to infant?
4.What if all planets moved anti clockwise?
5. What if earth captured the passing asteroid or comet in its gravity and caught another natural satellite? Will it affect the tides on earth? If it's a asteroid, could we find information about formation of solar system?
6.What if future generations came in today's world to change the past?
7.What if every planet had life possible?How would this affect evolution of species on earth?

I learned about Anatoli Bugorski because I was watching a different video from What If and I kept going down the rabbit hole of clicking on related articles to related articles. Thank you What If!

[dagovasquez]

I only clicked because I heard about the particle accelerator because of the flash

[PrimeGaming]

How many time are they gonna show this video on YouTube ? I remember seeing this title like a thousand times now 😱
