>Smashing subatomic particles into one another at nearly the speed of light is a really, really, really bad idea. >They are extremely fortunate that their current doomsday device has not caused a civilization-destroying disaster, but now they are pressing their luck by constructing a much larger one. >A company in China has actually developed a “miniature atomic energy battery” that could theoretically power a small device for 50 years. >Needless to say, having millions of people running around with devices that are powered by radioactive coin-sized batteries sounds like a horrendous idea, but that isn’t going to stop them. In fact, this new battery is apparently entering mass production… I guess they'll let any idiot write articles these days. Stars smash particles together all the time. The universe is still here. A 1-microwatt betavoltaic battery won't power shit for 50 years. There's more radioactive material in your ionizing smoke alarms than in the betavoltaic battery. This guy is a complete smooth brained retard.
