So I am curious about this comparison. If this particle had hit you square on the top of your head, rather than the array they built to detect it... would you even know it? Would it kill you? Make you uncomfortable? What?
Someone got hit by a proton beam in a particle accelerator and survived: https://medium.com/predict/the-man-struck-by-a-particle-accelerator-beam-ab829b2e1949
And his face half stopped aging! Wild story, always love being reminded of this guy.
This is such a bad and sensationaliat article - completely ignoring that we use protontherapy for quite a while now.
