Physicist Reviews Black Mesa Research Facility

Hello fellow scientists and engineers, I am QuanticDev, and even though I develop software, I studied semiconductor physics and electronics. I also worked at my university's nuclear research institute in the particle accelerator facility, designing control systems for about two years. In this video, I will review the infamous Black Mesa Research Facility. I will try to compare it to a real nuclear research facility, though I'm pretty sure that Lord Gaben didn't budge on the scientific accuracy of his creation.

In the video, I will show you what a real a nuclear research lab looks like. I will also demonstrate the control systems of the facility. During my time in the nuclear research lab, I've created the first design of the control systems of the facility. And I've also written the first version of the facility control system software. After two years, I jumped 100% into software engineering so I couldn't witness the finalization of the project. However, I should still have a pretty good understanding of these types of research labs, so let's jump in and asses Black Mesa!

Tip: Black Mesa, the infamous research facility built around an abandoned Cold War ICBM launch silo in the New Mexico desert. It is the research site that the game Half-Life takes place initially. The inspiration for Black Mesa comes from Los Alamos National Security Science Lab, which was established for the Manhattan Project to design the first atomic bomb.
