That’s almost microwave pizza pocket hot.
Jesus! That’s nearly as hot as McDonalds Hot Apple Pie filling!
And almost as toxic
Yeah, but it’s a dry heat.
I really need to get AC
“YEAH?!”
That sounds like an approximation by doctor evil
It’s true and very scary.
One BILLION degrees! MUAHAHAHA
They were worried the first test of a nuclear weapon would ignite the atmosphere and kill all life on earth.
How do they know this? How would you even measure temperature past a certain point
They measure the wavelength of “thermal” photons and then use e.g. Wien’s law to calculate the temperature that has caused their emission.
Edit: T = 10^8 K correspond to f = 10^18 Hz which is in the X-ray part of the spectrum.
“Scientists determine that nuclear explosions reach temperatures of approximately 100 million degrees Celsius through theoretical physics, computer modeling, and spectral analysis of diagnostic data.”
That’s why it go boomy

It seems pretty obvious that the exhaust heat should be harnessed and recycled. Or at bare minimum radiated into space (or similar)
WTF?
the total energy released is more important than the core temperature. for example, a simple candle light can get very hot inside too, even though it doesn’t cause much total heat.
