Well, see, if it’s not a huge amount of energy (and it’s not) then it’s not really a Holy Cow event is it? As for what can supply that energy, oh, let’s see. A little bit of electric current like what powers a fluorescent light bulb. Or an electron impact, like what makes a phosphorescent screen glow. Or the ionization of a passing cosmic ray, which is what makes a little pulse of light in scintillator plastic. Or any of a zillion other small exchanges of energy that cause ionization every single second of every single day your whole life. -- Odd Bodkin — Maker of fine toys, tools, tables
