Neutron pasta restaurant
And who says scientists are humourless?!
When the gnocchi phase is compressed, as would be expected in deeper layers of the crust, the electric repulsion of the protons in the gnocchi is not fully sufficient to support the existence of the individual spheres, and they are crushed into long rods, which, depending on their length, can contain many thousands of nucleons. These rods are known as the spaghetti phase. Further compression causes the spaghetti phase rods to fuse and form sheets of nuclear matter called the lasagna phase. Further compression of the lasagna phase yields the uniform nuclear matter of the outer core. Progressing deeper into the inner crust, the holes in the nuclear pasta change from being cylindrical, called by some the bucatini phase or antispaghetti phase, into scattered spherical holes, which can be called the Swiss cheese phase.
A double beta decay restaurant is just filled with aging bottom-bottom couples looking for a third
I'd be interested but they seem to serve neutrinos with absolutely everything.
It's all Brownian in the end
Like a nice hot cup of tea
This is why I don't drink heavy cream. I know it's needed more as a neutron stabilizer for local fission plants.
Fusion restaurant
Can I get an order of the yellow cake to go?
You're looking for the fission restaurant. They're in that barn across the street; just make sure you walk in to the barn instead of running past it
the barn has a habit of curving and slowing your trajectory if you approach it too fast
Besides, everything here is fried in self-heating hydrogenated oil.
But since you're headed to the fission restaurant, can you pick me up a bottle of heavy water? I'm parched. It's way too hot in here.
IDK... I can never decide. Whatever you want is fine.
I only like a good fission restaurant of they cut the atoms diagonally like a PB&J
I'm a bit of a pickup reaction artist myself.
I like the brehmsstralung restaurant myself. The vibrations make my teeth feel funny
Just make sure you combat the Brehmsspur
Cosmological restaurant. It's at the end of the universe.
At Meitner-Auger restaurant one VIP suddenly leaves then someone jumps the queue while another gives up and leaves.
My favorite is not listed here but with that list, I’ll go for electron capture because it is delicate yet grounded
Are you positive?
I’d say neutral
Oh yeah true! Proton-rich but neutral
I like breakfast joints that aren't afraid to serve beans
