A nuclear fission reaction is a very exothermic reaction, in fact, the color of stars is the result of the temperature of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. Example: Blue stars are an excess of 30,000 K, while a cooler orange/yellow star is around 6000 K, these temps match the description of a device creating 6000+ degrees C and as we all know there is no combustion of a hydrocarbon in stars. The soot or smoke as some have called it is actually the sand from the desert floor being swept up due to the intense vacuum created upon a release of energy of the magnitude of a nuclear device.




1. Star color, as seen here on Earth, is a result of our Atmosphere. Our Sun is NOT yellow but pure white outside of our Atmosphere. Since our Sun is 6,000 degrees Kelvin it should be yellow according to this guy but it is actually WHITE. LMAO

2. I guess a YELLOW candle flame must be 6,000 degrees Kelvin as well? LMAO.

"Candles - the hottest part of the flame is just above the very dull blue part to one side of the flame, at the base. At this point, the flame is about 1,400 °C. However note that that part of the flame is very small and releases little heat energy. The blue color is due to chemiluminescence, while the visible yellow color is due to radiative emission from hot soot particles."

3. Sand is not Black nor does it produce black soot. I guess devices exploded over water also turn the water black which is then uplifted to create black soot next to the yellow flames? lmao.

4. Solar fusion is NOT Nuclear fission; they are OPPOSITES, where one fuses and the other divides.

Here's something I've commented on before, I think, on youtube: If the atomic blast is 6000 C, then the sand is also going to be glowing. If you visit a glass factory, or look at a picture of a glass furnace, when the glass is molten, it is glowing, just like iron glows at forging temperature. So sand sucked up into a blast would be glowing, not dark black.

Another thing: In physics, a process takes the path of least resistance. In a blast, up in the air, it would be a lot easier to suck the air down from above, than to suck the dirt up from the ground. If you're to believe any of this vacuum stuff, which I don't. It creates a great deal of cognitive dissonance to believe that you can have an explosion and a vacuum at the same time.
