Setting off for school this morning, No.2 son said he thought he\’d had a dream meant for someone else last night. It was about how to protect from gamma radiation and then re-use the particles\’ energy.

As far as he could remember, it was a dome made of some kind of bubbly stuff and the radiation bounced off and was caught. There was a lot more but he couldn\’t remember it because he\’s not a particle physicist/engineer.

So if there\’s anyone out there working on gamma radiation who had a dream last night about being a samurai-sword-wielding detective with a dog, I\’m afraid that\’s where your stroke of genius went.
