I know the answer to this one.

I will answer this because it relates directly to one of the many areas of interest I have in the sciences. Even though Galen's assistant and then some 300 years later another supposed blood to pass from the heart to the lungs in a minor flow it was not considered a body flow. Even Leonardo da Vinci did not go so far but he did note no direct connection from the vessel of the heart into the lungs because the alveoli were closed and not allowing blood to empty into the lungs. He did experiment and proved the heart valves allowed flow in one direction only and the heart had four chambers not two but did not presume to explain flow to the 'pores'.
Galen's work of the blood acting only to distribute heat from the furnace of the heart and thereby not allowing the blood to corrupt the spirit of man was taught until a Michael Servetus published privately that the blood flows through the body. For this his books were destroyed and he was burnt at the stake by Calvin.
Why it is relevant to me is that one of the areas I am interested in is this:-
Until now the maximum size of a quantum particle is about 200 times the size of a proton. One such reaction provided a brief reaction of around 2 trillion degrees. CERN will produce results 100 times greater than previous trials. Quantum particles can only be measured by their waveform, meaning the energy that it takes to excite a proton to the size required. Only energy is produced because the particle if it was really there dissolves in such a way that no residual matter is left. Nice and clean.
Here is the math:-
200 'size' times 100 'greater results energy' equals 2000
2000 is bigger than 1760 the maximum needed to produce a stable particle
100 'greater result' times 2 trillion degrees equals 200 trillion degrees
A stable reaction would be capable at that temperature of converting matter to rest mass energy. A sustained reaction could continue to convert matter to rest mass energy. A chain reaction could continue to convert matter to rest mass energy until such time as there is enough to burn at the stake all the bad science that ever was.
