What would happen if you put your hand in a particle accelerator? The LHC is a machine capable of accelerating protons to 99.99999% of the speed of light. These protons travel in bunches containing hundreds of millions of particles. So, what would happen if one of these bunches went through your hand? As the protons penetrate your hand, they begin to collide with the atoms present, transferring energy to them. This energy converts to heat, causing a more intense burn at the exit point than at the entry point, similar to what you would feel if you set a drop of ethanol on fire on your skin. You wouldn’t even want to imagine what would happen if you put your head in the accelerator, so let’s leave the question of…
