In detail what they mean when they say a body was “vaporized” during a nuke? What exactly happens to bones and everything and why?
In: Biology
A nuke isn’t a bomb in the sense of pressure and ripping things apart and shrapnel, it’s actually a flash of energy so intense that everything melts and then boils and turns into gas from just the light of it. [Like being so close to the sun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Yt3JVgzOZzE).
Materials can only take some [6000 degrees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point) – tungsten, really hard metals. The temperature in the Sun and in a nuke flash is millions of degrees. Everything melts (solid to liquid), boils (liquid to gas) and becomes a gas, no material can withstand such temperatures.
