A reported “nuclear device” prompted authorities to evacuate a northwestern Columbus, Ohio neighborhood.

Hazmat and bomb squad crews responded around 6 p.m. Thursday to a home in the Cranston and Riverside drives area, Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Steve Martin told our media partner 10TV.com in Columbus.

In a 911 call, a man said he was working on a quantum physics generator in his garage and that he suffered burns, the television station reported. Crews found no signs of radiation on the man who called 911, first responders said.

Hazmat crews were checking the garage, and then bomb squad and an arson team will investigate.

1. eep.

what is a "quantum phyisics generator"?

[Grokenstein]

6. Microwave oven.

...either that, or a nine-sided die.

2. "quantum physics generator"? Okayyyyy. nt

[Roy Rolling]

3. Hmmm

Did it have a flux capacitor?

[Rainbow Droid]

5. He probably installed the Calabi-Yau Manifold backwards.

hehe

[Botany]

10. Does it have a real time downloader option for Skype mega pixils that uses positive electrons

BTW that is no more than 10 miles from my house.

4. This is some crazy 💩

I’m seven miles east of Ground Zero..only in Ohio..

7. Stop making fun of the man, he is a great scientist following orders

“The market will work faster. There’s someone in a garage somewhere, parochially I hope it’s in Miami, that’s going to have a clue, to have an answer to this."

Political distractions work so much better when they have a basis in reality.

8. No actual danger, apparently

According to firefighters, a man called and reported that he received ‘RF burns’ while building some sort of ‘quantum physics generator’ in a garage. The man used words like ‘particle accelerator,’ ‘alpha rays,’ and ‘radiation’ while describing how he was burned.

Responding paramedics didn’t see any physical signs of burns
.................
Martin said the man was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation. He said he expects inducing panic charges to be filed.

9. Quantum Leap!

NOT developed in a garage.

11. Ohio nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. Ohioduh.

Every state has a bountiful supply of crazies these days.......

[maxrandb]

15. But Ohio continues to send them to the state and federal government n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

12. He Was Generating Physics?

Guy couldn't even make up a more convincing scientific name for his silliness.
Also, to this genius: if I flick a salt crystal off my fingers, my hand is now a particle accelerator!

14. Did Florida man move north to Ohio?

[Wuddles440]

16. Actually.....

most of the looney cretins now residing in Florida probably originally migrated from Ohio. It's what we do best here in Ohio - supplying the nation with some of the most disturbed individuals imaginable! Hell, one needs to look no further than our 'illustrious' elected (gerrymandered) officials for such validation and led by their standard bearer, Gym Jordan.
