Dad created plasma in the basement. Apparently it’s in the fourth state of matter. He’s been working on it for a while.

      In my head I imagine him looking like Rick Moranis in Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Super cool

    2. I’m guessing high voltage under partial vacuum, similar to the little globes you get at the store?

      Curious if you’re also using a heated tungsten coil for thermionic emission (like a cathode ray tube), but that little coiled globe in the center looks like just straight up copper, so my guess is tesla coil?

    3. He’s currently in a superposition of both coming back and not coming back with the milk

    4. Hopefully he’s extremely smart and not just very smart. It turns out that high voltages under vacuum is a good way to make xrays too…

    5. I tried that with a grape in the microwave once. I just ended up with the world’s worst raisin.

      Take a green grape. Cut it in half but leave the halves attached (sort of looks like 2 green boobs). Put it on a plate in a microwave oven on high power. Voila…you have the fourth state of matter! Try it at home, kids!! Source: I’m an old science teacher versed in the art of the 90’s demos
