I know that a lot of people think HN is humorless, but it’s not entirely true. This kind of snarky, culture war laden humor is unlikely to go over well though.


I was being serious. I went to Brown.


You were going to be my first downvote. Instead I'll answer in the same vein, but from an opposed political stance, to show how ridiculous this is. All ethical stances assert various propositions, and defend those propositions by pointing out harms (physical, psychological, or imaginary) that occur when those propositions aren't followed.

If Uranium-241 was meant to exist in nature God would have made it. If Uranium-238 and Platinum-198 were meant to merge they would be discovered in the same deposits. Our founders fought and died for the right of Uranium-238 to exist, and destroying it in this experiment threatens our freedoms.

It's not as good as yours; my critique lacks your inspiration.


All isotope mass numbers are possible and God (if Xe/Fay(e) exists) loves them all. The mass number is a spectrum from negative to positive to infinity including fractions. Any claim otherwise erases the existence of isotopes which have yet to be "discovered" by white male "scientists".

(Check and mate.)


Sometimes the only winning move is not to place uranium and platinum in a collider in the first place.
