not so much protons (which would be a problem, but could at least notionally be deflected), but atoms.

- actionfromafar 3y agoAn hydrogen atom and a proton are roughtly the same thing, right?
- monocasa 3y agoA proton is a hydrogen ion and isotope.
- zabzonk 3y agono a proton is a hydrogen nucleus (or at least can be seen as one) and has a charge. travelling near lightspeed you would have to worry most about uncharged atoms/molecules (because of their mass) and neutrons, neither of which can be deflected.
