Energy distorts space.

Lies-to-children like that go down a dangerous road

Well then, why did you omit the other components of the tensor?

Mayhaps he was working with the metric tensor and leaving the derivation of stress-energy and Ricci as an exercise for the class?

Seeing how only one of those sources gravity in the EFE, that would not be very pertinent.

I never said it was the best explanation, just offering a snarky reason to a snarky question.

Snark matter

Ok you win physics jokes for at least the lifetime of a free neutron at 99.99997% of c.

So, what exactly is this "nark matter" that we're suddenly hypothesising a supersymmetric partner for?

I don't think this was linked before:

These are some of the recently declassified recordings of nuclear tests. They range from eerily beautiful to 'I think the camera was broken'.
Those that show fireball development are especially interesting. One can observe e.g. the double pulse, and bomb debris penetrating the fireball. In one case (Teapot-Turk) the shockwave reflecting off the ground can be seen.
This breakdown of fireball development might be worth reading in order to better appreciate the visuals:

^The vid with the fireball expanding up close where you can see the shockwave picking up dust is amazing.

I think it's the narkino, it's a weakly interacting particle most of the time, but it has a significant cross section when exposed to T-rays with a wavelength of 7.12011 nm exactly.

The slow motion atmospheric nuclear tests are actualy really pretty. Its kinda like seeing a second sun showing up for a few seconds then going poof.

Shit man, I'm gonna have to watch an hour and and a half's worth of nuclear testing with my boyfriend this weekend.

Is that an innuendo?

What, you've never wanted to experience apocalyptic explosions in bed with your partner?
