It's a point of physics in The Dark Forest that bothers me because it is one of the real world touchpoints of physics in the series. The weapons are described as "burning" and that the fire ball was somehow directly part of the fusion process / that the nuclear weapons they'd create would explode for minutes at a time. That's not how nuclear weapons work at all.
Nuclear reaction only happens at insane temperatures and pressures that exist for fractions of a second before the whole device starts exploding outward and critical conditions disappear. Everything you're seeing after that initial flash is just the after effects of the nuclear reaction dumping an absolute fuck ton of energy into

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_B._Davis#Skepti...For a place that is billed as a "Once in a Universe's Lifetime" event I found the whole experience to be rather mundane and the service was sub par at best! My meal, while presenting itself to me for selection, forgot to mention its filet! My word! Could you imagine failing at your one task in life?
The dinner show was enjoyable, but some asshole named "Zarquon" crashed the party! Ruined the whole time! I paid a WHOLE PENNY for my dining experience and some jerk decides to pop in at the last second!
Pan Galatic Gargle Blasters were adequate.
How can Fox be stupid enough to cancel this genius?
Anybody else hear of this Elvis guy? My parents say he's a bad influence...

I just decided that trying to play baseball with a Starburst and a yard stick would be fun. First try, I set the Starburst at the end of the yardstick, launch it straight up, it hits the ceiling, it comes down and I hit one out of the park!! Couldn't do it again if I tried 100 times. So, I'm currently thinking of retiring from the sport with a perfect record.
Other times I've used the 5 gallon water jugs and snickers minis to play tennis across my living room with friends. So damn much fun!
Hi! I had a good day, and had a great time with my dad on Father's Day, and I'm now silly fucked up. And I wanted to say hello to r/trees.
Got a new beautiful bong recently that I'm breaking in as well. My first really nice (more than 40 bucks bong). It is wonderful! Oh, and I'm watching Arrested Development!
Haha, and I just realized that Wolowitz from the BBT has a bit part in Arrested Development in episode 2x16.
