@thewhispersofhistory: In 1946, a scientist at Los Alamos was conducting a routine nuclear experiment using a small plutonium core. The goal was to measure criticality. The setup relied on precision and absolute control. During the test, a simple mistake caused the core to briefly reach criticality, releasing an intense burst of radiation. There was no explosion. No fire. Just a sudden, invisible exposure that flooded the room. The scientist became violently ill within hours and died days later from acute radiation sickness. A similar accident involving the same core had already killed another researcher months earlier. After the second death, the object earned a name that reflected how dangerous it was. They called it the Demon Core. #History #Science #scary #fyp #viral
