what really happened to the Titanic
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Is that cherenkov radiation or is the camera and film melting?
Yes.
Also, this wouldn't produce an explosion. There is a MASSIVE difference between supercritical and bomb levels of prompt-critical.
Reactors are generally by design not even capable of supercritical without many things going wrong, let alone prompt-critical.
What about the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!
The reactor didn't have a pointy tip so it bounced off the ground.
