Enormous voltages impressed on sub-atomic particles will accelerate them to enormous speeds, but they are so infinitesimally small that the quantity of energy is negligible by ordinary standards.* But in the atomic world a force of 200,000,000 volts has hitherto been recorded only in cosmic ray showers, never in laboratory-created particles...
