Purpose
- Irrigation
gollark: Well, you could simply call yourself `user` or `a` or `firecubez` or `computron`.
gollark: For conservation of energy, we just produce as many as possible.
gollark: - Charge conservation: we produce muons and antimuons (both are considered muons)- Conservation of muon-lepton number: muon neutrinos are also emitted in large quantities, but these are weakly interacting- Conservation of baryon number: trickier, we mostly just e-mail excess baryon number to our baryon dumps
gollark: We have to obey conservation laws just like everyone else.
gollark: Multiple muons.
