gollark: No, the ☭-¬☭ annihilation causing such a scenario was implausible, not apiochronoformics.
gollark: Anything THAT overpowered would have been patched out ages ago.
gollark: This seems implausible. Not only would this violate causality and many other things, there's no plausible mechanism for how this works, and GTech™ testing *frequently* appeared to cause ☭-¬☭ pair production and annihilation which did not destroy the universe.
gollark: Er, 232.
gollark: Well, in that case, why would annihilation be a problem? It would only release 300GeV or so per ☭-¬☭ annihilation.
