Polaron Synchotron

Schematics for the IPS.

The Isaacland Polaron Synchotron, or IPS, is one of the most celebrated achievements of the [[|Universe of Universe|Universe]]. It is a sprawling complex under Isaacland, on Earth. Among some of the most influential discoveries made by the IPS are the "tasty" and "sqr!¤*p" quarks, as well as the chickenion and emoticon.

Design[]

The IPS is the first polaron synchotron ever built, as well as the first particle accelerator to use BRB Technology in generating energies for acceleration. The Point Of Origin (POO) is situated at the beginning of a Linear Accelerator with BRB-powered Polaron Accelerator Field Generators situated at several points on the line. The Linear Accelerator diverts into Acceleration Ring One via the Linear-Ring Intersection Point, where polarons are accelerated by conventional superconducting magnets powered by BRB energy to speeds of up to 1 TeV. When a test is in progress, a polaron is let into Acceleration Ring Two via one of the Ring-Ring Intersection Points and accelerated through Brizospace Energy Extraction to quantum lightspeed while being monitored by the Monitoring Station. It is then diverted to one of three targets.

Paradox[]

Main article: IPS Paradox

On February 30th, 2031, the day the Isaacland Polaron Synchotron was activated, some voiced the opinion that as polarons supposedly had no mass, how was it that they were only able to achieve quantum lightspeed? This hypothesis was tested by allowing a polaron in Accelerator Ring Two to exceed quantum lightspeed, then lightspeed, then as it crossed the speed-of-light barrier, it created a breach in the fabric of the space-time-brizo-quanta continuum and radically altered circumstances in the Island of Zed, leading to a minor paradox in time-dates of major historical events including the creation of the Gregorian Calendar and the discovery of the Bermuda Triangle. This meant that the experiment daidn't happen, which led to -( Creationium paperweights being created on the desk of James K. Phalen, which led to the SmarT War of 2134 Treaty not being signed. The polaron then collided with the dth degree space wavefront of the Time Paradox of 1943, which compounded the chain reaction of Brizospace BRB Energy Exchanges, then was propelled deep into the past and wreaked havoc with the Great Attractor.
