I’m trying to help put the energies of particle accelerators say the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator into layman’s perspective. Now if we were to scale up the energy put into say a proton and scale that up to a 22 caliber bullet, how much more energy would it require?
Also put you answer in perspective with something like “it’s like putting the energy of the space shuttle launch into a 22 caliber bullet”
Assume the 40 grain bullet to 2000 fps (rifle).
