10 Billion Times Brighter Than The Sun

What is a synchrotron and how does it work?  Here is a rare look into one of the synchrotrons that creates a super bright light:

By the numbers, the Diamond synchrotron facility in Oxfordshire, England, was a massive undertaking. The particle accelerator cost more than $500 million to build and is housed in a circular building that is enormous. It also produces a highly focused beam “10 billion times brighter than the Sun” [source: BBC News].

This incredibly powerful light source and the technological might behind it have many potential scientific applications. But it may surprise you that the Diamond synchrotron could produce its most important discoveries in the field of theology.

Let’s check this thing out in the video on page 2

    You know, the speed of like. The shine from a like in the room? A deskilike. A strobelike. All kinds of likes homie. Flip a switch and turn out the likes!

    But the rest of the hand adds m$#%&!@* so u can never exceed the speed of like. Light is another story anything is possible even if u have to break laws

    I’m already skeptical of whether this device even exists or really produces an electromagnetic beam 10 billion times that of the electromagnetic radiation from the sun because it says the device is for use in the field of theology to read ancient texts. If it were ancient texts of knowledgeable value it would be the field of anthropology. There is no “field of theology.” It makes no predictions and policy changes within theology are often influenced by outside societal pressure as opposed to internal discovery.

    Cause that wouldn’t have cooked the guy’s that accidentally stumbled across a light that strong…a 50w green laser will cook chicken damn near instantly…lol
