kebes writes "The $1.4 billion Spallation Neutron Source is nearing completion, and has produced its first neutron pulse. The SNS is a scientific instrument that generates beams of neutrons, which can be used to probe anything from minuscule samples to industrial materials. When fully operational, the facility is expected to host up to 2,000 international scientists annually."

    when you start hurling around the building blocks of everything, shit goes BOOM!

    scientists don't have the necessary knowledge to weild this kind of power.

    it's like a storm trooper trying to use a lightsaber: you know he's gonna lose a limb!
