The Throbbing X-Ray Hive-Mind of New Mexico

Amongst typical flotsam digg-bait posts, deputy dog has posted a list of five “unbelievably cool research facilities.” None of these research facilities are dedicated to slapping Hitler’s brain into a titanium juggernaut body, so that post title’s a bit of a cock tease. That said, I love this image of the z machine at the Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico. It is called the Z Machine despite clearly being the largest X-Ray machine on Earth. It has produced plasma hotter than the core of our sun. But none of that science matters to me: I just love to think that deep in the bowels of the Earth exists a throbbing, electrified hive-mind of interconnected X-Ray synapses.
