    Context: My physics professor told me how early particle physicist would stick their head on a beam of a particle accelerator to check for a beam, they would know if their eyes would flash as the beam went through. Surprisingly this messed up their vision over time.

    Unfortunately I cannot find a source on this, but I choose to believe my professor.

    Edit: Found something though they don’t talk about intercepting beams with their head

        Forget the x-rays. Remember the radioactive water dispenser?
