These gender reveals are getting rather ridiculous..

  For when you’re dying to know the sex.

  The demon core is, at the same time, the dumbest thing I’ve heard someone do, and yet…

  “Here’s a vessel containing the most powerful force yet discovered. Nobody’s seen it in person before. A quick peek probably won’t kill you.”

  “Hmmm… fuck it.”

  So its was boy! Does that mean little boy is now a big brother?

    All I know is that little boy was the last kid of his father.

  This is why you don’t circumcise your baby, especially with a screwdriver…

  If this thing is emitting light that appears blue to you, you’re about to have a monumentally bad time

  Good old Cherenkov radiation. Always reliable.

    Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe due to the very low refractive index of about 1.0003, particles need tremendous energy to produce Cherenkov radiation in atmosphere. So the demon core flashes (while perhaps some small part Cherenkov) were probably mostly just from the ionization of the air, and subsequent recombination.

    If my awful phone math is right, you’d need about 21 MeV of energy for an electron to produce Cherenkov radiation. I think the processes producing energetic electrons here (Compton scattering, some pair production, photoelectric effect, internal conversion, delta rays, and Bremsstrahlung cascade I believe) should regularly produce energies around 10 MeV at most from Compton.

      IIRC the flash wasn’t discernable from being the air or the aqueous/vitreous humor in the eye.

      I think it’s been hypothesized that the eye jello allows for a much lower energy particle to to create the flash. They do know it’s possible to induce it, but it’s not exactly ethical to test the conditions that created the various criticality accidents to find out.

  If it flashes it’s dead. 😭😅

  I’ve heard of people accidentally making IEDs for gender reveal, now I’ve heard of everything.
