Does this remind anyone of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbenrpfuxHs|_ Tom Scott's Piña Collider?]

:no but it reminds of the Higgs boson search by looking and bananas and acorn squash http://sci-ence.org/higgs/

:Odds that inspired this by showing up in Randall's recommended videos? [[User:Wizardofdocs|Wizardofdocs]] ([[User talk:Wizardofdocs|talk]]) 06:34, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 
  
 
There's a new-year's day ''for trees''? This fact alone deserves its own comic! [[User:ProphetZarquon|ProphetZarquon]] ([[User talk:ProphetZarquon|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Why does the explanation say that many people " ind the high seed-to-flesh ratio offputting when eating" pomegranates, when in pomegranates the seeds are actually the tasty thing you want to eat instead of the flesh?--[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 17:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

While it's not a particle collider, we got pink grapefruit using the science of radiation gardens where they basically buried a radioactive element, planted things around it, and looked for interesting mutations. -[[Special:Contributions/172.70.134.27|172.70.134.27]] 13:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

For the entertainment of those assembled: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbenrpfuxHs Tom Scott's Large Piña Collider video] from 2012. Odds it inspired this by showing up in Randall's recommended videos?
:Sort of (one particular variety was developed/discovered this way). But it's a fascinating read, the art of {{w|Atomic gardening}} (though there's better articles about it than there). Related: Back in the '80s I got some of the tomato seeds that had been irradiated in space (foil packed to the outside of a satellite, retrieved again during the main Shuttle era), but the gardner I gave them too heard ('on the grapevine', I suppose!) that they were dangerous and got rid of them without even letting me know...
