The Omega-12 particle accelerator incident

The Digamma Particle is a mysterious and anomalous endgame particle produced in the particle accelerator. The particle gives the player 333.3 mDRX/s when it's in the inventory. It is a dangerous drop item and will form a giant black hole if dropped.

Production

It is extremely expensive to create as it requires 70000 momentum.

Uses

Its only direct use is to make Digamma fuel for the RBMK. Don't let it melt down.

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.
  • The particle is likely based on the 750 GeV diphoton excess anomaly, in which the now refuted Ϝ particle was theorized as the possible cause.
