Nuclear physics is canon now · 5:57pm Feb 4th, 2012
As we were watching today's episode, the Beloved Spouse (who is an honest-to-god nuclear physicist) noticed that the doctor at the hospital was looking at an x-ray at one point and turned to me to say, "Nuclear physics is canon!" As without nuclear physics, we wouldn't have x-rays and radiography.
So, there ya go. Nuclear physics--the ponies has it. Kinda puts Rainbow Dash's atomic rainbow cloud into a new perspective.
p.s. Oh, hey, it's science time! Check it out: The Physics of X-Ray Imaging.
And it's also more food for shippers of PinkieDash and TwiDash. That beginning sequence...
"So, there ya go. Nuclear physics--the ponies has it. Kinda puts Rainbow Dash's atomic rainbow cloud into a new perspective. "
Yes. It now carries the disturbing implication that half of the mane cast and anyone in the vicinity of Dash's atomic rainbow cloud are now going to die horribly of cancer.
"Fire up the Orbital Friendship Cannon" now has more sinister undertones, too ...
It's magic, we ain't gotta explain jack!
