What happens to your body if you are standing near the epicentre of powerful nuclear explosion?
I know the basics but I would like to know more details.

if im understanding your question right, then you would be vaporized by the extreme heat.

You would die, get killed. Then blow up.

what temperature are we talking about?

You explode into flames whilst being flung at a great speed and smashed against all objects along the way. You are basically turned into a fine dust within seconds (as in 5-10). You won't even know what hit you. Personally would prefer to be at the epicenter than several kilometers away and die from radiation poisoning.

not sure of the exacts, but hotter than the surface of the sun

Radiation penetrates your entire body and raises it to a temperature of 10000000° kelvin within 1000 trillionths of a second.

so you don't burn, but explode into tiny shreds?

[Anonymous No.3556220]

If you were to make shaped charges to make the shockwave compress you at the same pressure everywhere, and also set off charges in your stomach (eating TNT is easy - it's used medicinally!) you would absorb the pressure and gain superpoweres.

Oh you burn, but so quickly that you don't even have time to properly be a lump of charcoal.

[Anonymous No.3556257]

>>3556215
no, you immediately turn into a cloud of plasma and are spread across the ever in size increasing shockfront of the explosion
