The Great Baguette Experiment (24/08/2006)

0 Conversations

The basis of the Baguette Experiment involves the invertion of charges in the atoms of the Baguette.

The theory is almost indentical to the "Chocolate Orange Powered Space Craft Theory" apart from there are several major differences. Firstly the medium to become anti-matter is a Baguette as oppose to a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Secondly, the shock will not be delivered via a large hammer but by a large frying pan called Woger.

The first step is to deliver a sharp blow to the baguette using the frying pan. This can be done using robotics but a more favourable method involves pummeling at it yourself.

The reason a baguette is used is because a stale end of a baguette will take any impact without being damaged.

On an atomic level many things will happen to the baguette. It is a well known fact that if an atom is hit hard enough, the charges on the atom change. The protons become negative and the electrons turn into positrons. This matter is known as Anti-Matter. In effect, by delivering a shock to the baguette, you will have an Anti-Baguette (Uncle-Baguettes need to be bought seperately, ha ha ha).

Now while this is all good and happy there will be a terrible adverse reaction. Because the anti-matter has been brought into an atmosphere of normal matter, it will react as soon it touches an air mloecule, which unfortunatly will take less than a second.

When it touches a normal molecule, the two will cancel each other out and cease to exist. It will also release a phenomenal amount of energy, roughly large enough to eliminate this half of the galaxy.

We do have to suffer for our science.

Unfortunatly it also means that the world will come abrupt end on thursday but oh well...

UPDATE:

The experiment was carried out as outlined above infront of an audience of about 100 people. Unfortunatly the results were anti-climatic.

I would also like to point out that CERN (who have rudely stolen the basis of the baguette for their BaBar Particle Accelerator) say that the probability of it happening is 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001 (10^-40) out of 1.

So it still could work...

Just very improbable.
