The Digamma particle

The Omega-12 particle accelerator incident

The Digamma particle is a mysterious and anomalous elementary particle produced in the particle accelerator. It emits 100 RAD/s and 333.3 mDRX/s.

Uses

The only direct use is to make Digamma fuel for the RBMK, don't let it melt down, unless you know what you are doing.

It is a dangerous drop item and will form a small quasar if dropped.

Trivia

  • The tooltip of the item states the particle's half-life is .
    • Assuming the "a" is a unit of time (Latin "anno", meaning "year"), the half-life is 16,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. In words this is: sixteen decillion and seven hundred nonillion years.
      • This is also the same half-life that is predicted for the proton.
      • It is also approximately or ~1,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (one septillion two hundred sextillion) times longer than the current estimated age of the entire universe, give or take a few nonillion years.
  • The tooltip note saying "Player Half-Life: 3.0s" refers to Digamma radiation's effect of reducing max HP and it correlates to the DRX emission rate.
  • In "lore", it is said that if the particle decays, it will trigger vacuum decay.
    • Given the extreme half-life, the chance of this happening while the universe still exists is virtually nonexistent.
