3. Proton Packs (Kind of) Exist
It’s not all science fiction. The Ghostbusters’ favorite weapon for trapping unruly spectres, their patented proton packs, actually exist today, sort of. While not small enough to be carried on your back, the Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider in the world. It took a decade to construct and required the expertise of 10,000 scientists and engineers from over a 100 different nations. Unfortunately, scientists have yet to make a working particle collider that any Ghostbuster could easily carry into a showdown with a ghost. Also, any true Ghostbusters fan will know that the term “proton pack” was never used in the first movie.
