[snip] At 1000 km/sec each proton of your nano-particle will have an energy of 5220 eV. I doubt this will be anywhere near enough to create quark-soup (i.e. to break the gluon bonds between quarks). If it were, then "atom smashers" wouldn't need to be huge underground devices, but could reside on a laboratory work bench. Regards,
