  • Back in my middle school days I’d crank the DPI of my scanner to the max and take super detailed images of bills. It tried its best at printing them too, but you couldn’t fool a person with them. Some kids did fool coin exhange machines with homebrewn bills though. These days I don’t think you can even scan the bills and the scanner calls interpol / secret service etc. for even trying.







  • that’s basically chemistry. At relativistic speeds the electrons of the projectile don’t have play a significant role. It’s going to be atomic nuclei hitting atomic nuclei and the time it takes to go through the earth is like two microseconds for the projectile going at ( 1 - 10^-9 ) c. Even that, I suppose, is too long for the particle beam to scatter momentum from fusing with other particles, creating gamma rays, creating exotic particles etc. But we could just always go even closer to c?
