To put it in terms more relatable to ordinary life, the energy given off by one of these events is approximately 0.0000000000000061 watt-hours. That is about how much energy a typical LED light bulb uses in 2.5 picoseconds.

Without a chain reaction, it is hard to think of any way that this could be used to cause any noticeable effect at all anywhere outside of a particle accelerator facility.

OT: my God, the dictionary that Firefox 57 uses by default on MacOS sucks. Neither "relatable" nor "picosecond" are in it!
