This is hilarious. It lights up every time a muon (a high-energy cosmic ray, basically a psychotic electron) passes by.

Requires some arduino but all the code is in Python.

Now the question is: Does it come in pedal form?

I've been trying to get a couple of full sized muon detectors from the HiSparc project on my school's roof. Until that day, this might be a nice student project.

What are muon about?

Just that I stand by my principles even though sometimes I'm uncertain about them.

I feel like these puns are becoming unstable.

You are very intelligent....by design.
