@darkarchivetv: The Deadly Blue Flash of the Demon Core ☢️ +In 1946, a brilliant physicist at Los Alamos was demonstrating a highly dangerous experiment called "tickling the dragon's tail." He was using a simple flathead screwdriver to keep two halves of a beryllium sphere from closing around a 14-pound core of plutonium. When the screwdriver slipped, the sphere snapped shut. A blinding flash of blue light filled the room, and a wave of heat hit the scientists. In that single fraction of a second, Louis Slotin knew he was already a dead man. This is the terrifying scientific horror of the Demon Core. #demoncore #radiation #darkhistory #manhattanproject #weirdscience #scaryfacts #history #darkarchivetv

noicee :

he's not even playing with a demon core, becuase that's not a toy dude

leadfarmer338 :

The two halves weren't plutonium they were nickel plated beryllium. The core was plutonium. The beryllium was used to reflect the neutrons back at the core making it go critical.

j🤑🤑 :

why don't they just not make those

Why we using ai

I thought seeing the light was supposed to be a good thing

Mr DIYY :

....and then ??

Dr manhattan

jonte :

He wanted fame. Why should someone with a high interect like him play with the core of an atomic bomb
