My favourite thing about that story remains that even if everything had gone to plan and he hadn't fully dropped the second half , it would still just be a couple of dudes with PhDs only slightly irradiating their own junk.
My favourite part from reading it then is:
Enrico Fermi reportedly told Slotin and others they would be "dead within a year" if they continued performing the test in that manner.
Slotin died.
A third testicle is sexy, okay? Though maybe not on the head...
