I dont believe in a particle that facilitates quantum chromodynamics.
the batter would be considered "hit by pitch", and would be eligible to advance to first base.
A new XKCD section. What If?
Wait...I realise we're onto higgs tits now but I think given the title of that news item, we need to spend some more time considering the virus..."A virus that creates electricity"
A virus that creates electricity A virus called simply M13 has the power (literally) to change the world. A team of scientists at the Berkeley Lab have genetically engineered M13 viruses to emit enough electricity to power a small LED screen. M13 poses no threat to humans — it can only infect bacteria — but it could one day serve humanity by powering your laptop, or even your city.
Fuel Cell That Uses Bacteria To Generate ElectricityScienceDaily (Jan. 3, 2008) — Researchers at the Biodesign Institute are using the tiniest organisms on the planet -- bacteria -- as a viable option to make electricity. In a new study featured in the journal Biotechnology and Bioengineering, lead author Andrew Kato Marcus and colleagues Cesar Torres and Bruce Rittmann have gained critical insights that may lead to commercialization of a promising microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology.
M13 poses no threat to humans
http://io9.com/5910682/a-virus-that-creates-electricityColour me skeptical. However:http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080103101137.htmWas always interesting!
Electricity is an energy.Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transphased into other forms of energy. (Yeah that's right, I probably just made that word up. Deal with it.)Where does the virus harvest the energy from?Converting the bacterium's chemical potential energy?Virus' destroy things. They'd destroy the nucleus of the bacterium.What kind of impact will that have on our environment?What happens when there's no more bacteria?The human body relies on bacteria.The human body also produces electricity.If the virus cannot infect humans, but can still infect the bacteria in the human, would destroying all the humans bacteria also affect the human? Would they feel ill, would the extra electricity have a harmful effect on the operation of the human body?CONVERGE ON GREY MASS THEORY, ONLY WITHOUT ROBOTS.Honestly, wtf science, I thought you were better than this. $#@!off with your genetic engineering.Self harming virus has to be the most retarded way to end the world.Bring on homocidal robots.

(Phys.org)—A team of physicists in Germany have succeeded in forcing a gas to become colder than absolute zero. Using lasers and a magnetic field to manipulate an ultra-cold gas, the researchers, as they describe in their paper published in the journal Science, managed to coax the temperature of the gas to a few billionths of a Kelvin below absolute zero.
PUBLISHED: 08:14 GMT, 20 August 2012 | UPDATED: 06:38 GMT, 21 August 2012 Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have broken a record by achieving the hottest man-made temperatures ever - 100,000 times hotter than the interior of the Sun.Scientists there collided lead ions to create a searingly hot sub-atomic soup known as quark-gluon plasma at about 5.5trillion C, the hottest temperature ever recorded in an experiment.That's about 40 per cent hotter the old record, set by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, by smashing gold ions together.

I cant seem to find Quark-Muon plasma. Oh well, I guess this stuff will do
Personally if I were converted to a robotic body because my human body was dying I'd build a body capable of space flight and fuck off to mars etc
"I'm not too fond of the idea of immortality, because I think it will be deathly boring," he said, with a twinkle in his eyes. Giving up our bodies could also be problematic, he said.
But you can link hardware, so what I would imagine, is your brain sitting in a vat in some secure location, wirelessly connected to your robotic avatar. If your avatar gets damaged, it can easily be replaced. (aka Surrogates)
