q169

Question:

I am attempting to construct a 3 stage linear electromagnetic accelerator. As you are no doubt aware, the third stage was damaged during removal from the forming structure. I see two options at this point: I can create a third coil and insert it into the space left by the third coil, or I can simply complete this one with the two remaining coils and use the materials that would have gone into my the operation of my third coil for my next accelerator. After spending several months on the fabrication of this accelerator, it is a difficult choice and so in gathering data to make this choice, I thought I would try factoring the opinion of an omnipotent being. My question, then, is this: which of the two paths I listed would you choose?

Answer:

Sorry to hear about your damaged third stage. I usually try to take the path of least resistance, which I figure is particularly apt in physics. And, considering how GREEN our times have become, your second choice, completing this one with the two remaining coils and using excess material for your next accelerator, is the more efficient and cost productive way to go.

See, I know what’s coming down the road, so the quicker you can make more accelerators, the better.

Oh, and sorry to see you lost 4 Zetas,

Still the ONE,
