I actually wonder how immediately this would kill you
Because there was that Russian guy who took a relativistic proton beam to the brain and lived
Or do xrays scatter much more so you'd be more likely to get a lethal whole-body dose?
an x-ray beam strong enough to be visible like this is an absolutely terrifying thing to exist, thanks
