Will need some source for this. This sounds virtually impossible to pull off in practice even if it'd work in theory.


Parts required for particle detector:

Glass container

Alcohol vapor

Super-cold bottom (-26c or colder)

Technically all of the above would be present in a neck of a really cold beer, as it is being opened. But I don't think my fridge can make the beer cold enough. Soda obviously doesn't work because it contains no alcohol vapor. Also soda is solid at -26 c, unable to release vapors whereas beer will still be a liquid (I think probably depends on the beer).


I'm pretty sure I saw beer bottles break in my freezer due to content freezing. Don't know about a corona specifically thought


I managed to freeze a bottle of beer the other week when I put some in the freezer to cool down and forgot about the last one.

Bottle didn't break though the contents were sadly inaccessible - seemed to be an opaque white viscous slurry.
