In a weird technical malfunction, Anatoli Bugorski, 36,a science researcher, stuck his head in front of a particle accelerator, which emits radiation in the form of a proton beam moving at about the speed of light. Afterwards, he experienced "skin on the back of his head and on his face just next to his left nostril peeled away to reveal the path the beam had burned through the skin, the skull, and the brain tissue. The inside of his head continued to burn away: all the nerves on the left were gone in two years, paralyzing that side of his face." Yet he didn't die, and continued to work in science. In a grotesque twist of fate,the left side of his face, which was frozen in the accident has ceased aging and the right side continues to age as normal. WHen "he concentrates, he wrinkles only half his forehead."
