@@silverrob6868 This seems to demonstrate that the "light" he saw wasn't actually light. Light - photons - hits the eyes, stimulates rods and cones, sends signals to the optic nerve which sends signals to the brain. Something that is too bright damages the stuff inside the eyes and causes blindness. What he saw didn't go through the same process. He 'saw' light, but anyone else who was watching (but wasn't getting blasted) wouldn't see the light, 'cause the light wasn't actually there. No photons ever hit his eyes. The reason he 'saw' something might be because the protons blasting through the optic nerve itself might have caused them to send a false signal through the brain that it interpreted at light, even though no true light has hit his eyes. Or, particles burrowing through the brain caused direct stimulation of the visual parts of said brain - causing another false signal that he perceived as light. TLDR; Protons going through nerves and his brain caused it to glitch out. Like when you whack an old TV really hard it'll flash static.

This man is a f#%king legend. Firstly: he's alive. Being born in 1942 - while the Nazis had still marched across the Soviet Union; and having a high-energy beam shot through his head, basically catching a proton bullet... He's 82 years old and still endures. Moreover, the incident didn't stop him from not only having a few papers published in 1983, but also working on the project of outputting a 70 GeV proton beam to the RAMPEX system using silicon crystals - paper on that topic was published in 2001, with him stated as one of the authors. Not every man could've done that even without being blasted with a parcticle accelerator, so he's far cooler than it seems. That's truly a guy who shook off a nuclear incident and went to bed like nothing has happened.

The engineer was complaining that the failure light was on even though the power supply seemed to be working.

The beam that went through Bugorski’s head was rated at 2,000 grays. When it exited, the beam read 3,000. At that insane level, it should have left him with a hole right through his face like a laser gun would in a movie, but it didn’t. Though he seemed fine at first, this powerful blast of particles caused the left side of his head to balloon out of control and some of his skin to peel off at the site where it entered and exited his skull. It also burned a line straight through his brain, though he experienced no mental decline. Despite many of the doctors telling him he would likely die at any moment, Bugorski lived. He's still alive today, but of course, there were complications. He eventually lost hearing in his left ear, started to experience seizures, and half of his face became paralysed. Amazingly, none of these stopped him from later earning his PhD. One of the weirdest discoveries deduced from the incident is that proton beams could prevent skin wrinkles, because the half of Bugorski’s face that took the brunt of the beam looks like it hasn’t aged a day since. So the short answer is that sticking your head inside a particle accelerator should cause a burn hole straight through your skull. Or, if you’re lucky like Bugorski was, you'll skip the head hole and just have to deal with a slew of other health problems. But the moral of the story is clear either way: please don’t stick your head inside a particle accelerator.

I'm just an astrophysicist, but I also suspect that the reason he didn't die but the Hanoi physicist lost his hands is due to proximity. Yes, the Bragg-peak, but look at the physical logistics of each. The Hanoi physicist was MOVING his hands while getting pummeled, thus, the constant beam damage occurred to a larger surface area and the KE was less-concentrated. But this guy, from what I can glean, had a single beam that was more concentrated than Hanoi. That energy may have been more intense, but as you eventually say, covered less surface area and thus hit less pertiment areas of the brain.

[@warrenSPQRXxl]

Undoubtedly it was a "pencil" beam of protons through a particular favorable pathway that permitted survival. In the same way, it is possible to survive (rarely) a gunshot wound to brain depending on the caliber and pathway. It really is not any great mystery.

long story short.

As it was believed that he had received far in excess of a fatal dose of radiation, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow where the doctors could observe his expected demise. However, Bugorski survived, completed his PhD, and continued working as a particle physicist.There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity, but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly. Bugorski completely lost hearing in the left ear, replaced by a form of tinnitus. The left half of his face was paralyzed due to the destruction of nerves.

The stories of the German machine gunners who would mow down our soldiers with machine guns while our troops would try to attack their gun nests with freaking knives may again seem heroic, but in reality it is so stupid and wasteful. The troops did not have enough guns and were ordered to attack such fortified positions by their officers. They could not retreat because they would be shot by their own commanders, so all they could do is attack the German troops in hope of overwhelming them. How the hell can people defend such treatment of citizens is beyond me.

I know! They could’ve used two light bulbs for redundancy

[@white_mage]

​@@innertubez true. have three bulbs and two of them actually turn on or off. the first bulb will be on when the beam is working and turn off when it is not working, the second will turn on when the beam is not working and turn off when the beam is working, and the third bulb will tell that the warning is recibing electricity and is working. those old fiilament light bulbs wear faster by turning them on and off so having one on all the time would make it last longer.

That final quote “I am being tested. Human survivability is being tested” chilling beyond words

[@lonewretch]

You should have seen how they used to test pigs for things like how humans can survive after being in a fire after a plane crash during the war. They'd tie them down, and use a blow torch on their backs and hinds, and them give them a drink after. They'd be in agony, lapping the water, with half their body turned into fuckin' crackling.sickening what the human mind can become...
