These 160 aureus coins were found below the floor of a Roman house in Corbridge in 1911 CE.
They were stored in a bronze jug, their true value hidden by 2 bronze coins wedged in its neck.
When the jug was lifted out of the ground, the weight of the gold broke it, revealing the hoard. The Jug was lent by the English Heritage (Trustees of the Corbridge Excavation Fund).
From Corbridge, Northumberland, UK, circa 160 CE. (The British Museum, London)."

Whoops!




Control room of the Brookhaven 80-inch Liquid Hydrogen Bubble Chamber showing some of the many instruments and controls required to monitor and precisely regulate the operation of the large, complex components and systems. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York. 1963
The bubble chamber is a vessel filled with superheated transparent liquid hydrogen used to detect high-energy charged particles moving through it. Particle accelerator facilities like the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) used bubble chambers extensively in the past, however they have now mostly been supplanted by wire chambers, spark chambers, drift chambers, and silicon detectors. The most significant discovery made with Brookhaven’s 80-inch chamber came in the first few months of its operation: the detection of the Ω⁻ particle, whose existence had been predicted by theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann. This finding supported the first attempt by physicists to organize the increasingly long list of subatomic particles into an orderly pattern, similar to that used to arrange elements in the periodic table.

I watched a Mythbusters episode where they debunked the spead of atomized toilet water when flushing. A university tested with lasers and the results are gross.
