there is a reason why evil looks as it does and we are scared by it. Let me first ask you, were you expecting the shape of a heart or tulip?

>This photograph was captured by a Rapid Action Electronic camera in 1952, during the Tumbler-Snapper tests performed in Nevada.

Only one millisecond after the bomb explodes, this 65.6-foot (20 meters) ball of fire appears in midair, with spikes that look like rotten teeth or stalactites of fire (called the rope trick effect).

well, the concept I am expressing is that when something is bad for you, it will look bad to you. The ultimate bad for you, will look unspeakably bad, which this does.

Why is it that nuclear explosions tend to be "dark" at first and then "light up" as the blast wave radiates outward? The fireball expands for a bit after the initial moment of detonation and then brightens significantly. This can be seen in most slow-mo nuclear detonation events.

For example: The Castle Bravo event, here:

My guess is it is dark dirt followed by condensing water vapor

>> No.5898765

>>5898738
The intense heat generated in a nuclear explosion causes it to radiate primarily in the UV spectrum, ehich then cools down to radiate more in the visible spectrum.

I don't follow.

I've simply never seen rope trick effect before, nor will I ever seen it if it wasn't posted. Its shape amazes me.

What you seem to be getting is that evolutionary we have adapted to see things as "bad" or "good" at a primal level.

That's fine and all, but as >>5898716 said, even harmless looking mushrooms can be poisonous. Your claim is flawed, because there are too many exceptions for this to be true.

...furthermore, we might also note that much of the player's lives in Super Mario Brothers are expended in the pursuit of mushrooms.

From this it becomes clear that the Super Mario Brothers games were a vivid representation of the Regan-era foreign policy ideals, which precipitated the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

When an object is hotter, even though the wavelength at which it radiates most changes, it still radiates more than a cooler object at every wavelength at which you could compare them.

the camera lens is special so it can see the blast an not just blank light footage

because of this, everything is pretty dark

depending on the bomb, there's a couple steps to the explosion. There's always an initial blast that sets off the chain reaction, this is a bright flash of light. then after that, nothing happens for a little bit so it looks a little darker before the bomb finishes exploding and gets bright

Why would humans have an instinctual view of nuclear explosions as evil? It's not like they presented a threat to us through our evolution.
