I had a dream once about a Nuclear Explosion .    No real context about Location or timing but the experience was Visceral .
 
I felt the explosion internally , My sinuses evacuated and exploded , I felt my skull depressurize . The heat scorched me black but no pain .   It was horrifying .

Thanks, that is fascinating to watch.

It gets me how casual they were getting it set up...shorts and no shirt. No radiation suits or whatnot.

Damn makes me want to read The Making of the Atomic Bomb again Richard Rhodes is so good, Dark Sun too, imagine if there were no Klaus Fuchs.

This reminds me I need to watch Oppenheimer
