    Default How Many Neutrinos Can a Mask ROM Withstand?

    Hey guys, I am trying to figure out how many neutrinos a mask ROM could be reasonably expected to be exposed to before data corruption occurs. I would conduct an experiment myself, but I don't exactly have access to a supernova. Any insight on this problem would be greatly appreciated. I need to know this because of reasons.

    I find if you wrap a little tin foil hat around the cartridge, you shouldn't have a problem from any transmissions from space.

    Until it's exposed to quadruple Z batteries.

    Actually, neutrinos do occasionally interact with matter, and I would expect an exposure to a sufficient quantity to have a deleterious effect.


    Also, Jesus dematerialized into neutrinos.

    Foil won't stop a neutrino flood.

    Short answer: Infinite
    Long answer: Anything that could produce enough neutrinos to damage a IC chip would likely vaporize the whole thing due to the extreme temperatures long before such damage could occur or would take so long that other factors such as background radiation of other types or chemical reactions would have already rendered the chip unusable

    A good question. Let's find out!

    You're contradicting yourself. At first you say the answer if an infinite amount of neutrinos, but then immediately right after that you say that there is a finite amount of neutrinos an IC could be exposed to before failure.

    Also, I still don't have an answer to my question, but apparently in order to receive an LD50 of neutrinos one would have to receive a fluence of ~1.26*1028 neutrinos/cm2.

    I could tell you, but I don't have any neutrinos on hand at the moment. Anyone got a good source for buying in bulk, I need to resupply anyway.

    They are passing through you right now if you have a good method of harnessing them, though it appears you aren't taking his request seriously. He has reasons. REASONS.
