“Look. This is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they don't do experiments on one and save the other. This is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they will ask for a third one, plug all three into each other, punch a hole into an alternate universe where humans subscribe to an even more destructive ideological system, then try to turn a nearby star into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn't want to waste a trip.”

@joeycastillo 92 antiprotons will annihilate with 92 protons and result in 0.2766 ergs — less that the explosion of a cube of TNT 1.6 microns on a side. 1/6th the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito. The energy to lift a 70 μg eyelash hair 4 cm.

So, just barely a human relatable amount of energy.
