What is Magic Boulder Made Of?

[justidutch]

It was the new Kerbin atmosphere as a solid. It has since sublimated and is whisking its way towards Kerbin. When it arrives the old souposphere will possibly desublimate into another solid mass of the unknown. No idea where it might end up though.

[Caelib]

It is made entirely of Orichalcum ore.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Where do you think we mine the hype-fuel from?

The hypetrain doesn't run on hype; it runs on Hypecoal and Hypeliquid.

1 unicorn tear 3 pounds of walrus lard and 3grams of dragon blood cooked at 1200*c for ten years then stir and you have a magic Boulder (are you following this)

[RocketPilot573]

It's made of Kraken material.

Also it would be really nice if we could get it back for 1.0...

[Owen5595]

Uranium, definitely Uranium

[Cydonian Monk]

It's made out of the same stuff they occasionally serve in our cafeteria at work.

[Rath]

It's a kraken egg.

The green stripes are the cracks in the shell.

And since it's now gone, it must have hatched!

Becomeing that kraken that destroys kerbin with the Klaw! *screams*

[Downside Up]

Hopes, dreams and empty promises.

Heh, wow.

I would love if Magic Boulder came back.

Ugh, not again...

Phil! You can't put unpredictibility in the sandwiches! I'll get your pay cut if you do it again!

​Jeez... guy can't take a hint.

[RogueMason]

Magic, duh.

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

It's made of pure awesomeness.

Believe Brotoro... he actually documented hi visit!

Oh btw.

From the pictures I've seen of it, it looks radioactive.

I don't think you can "see" radioactivity...

But it is a bit green... like Kerbals... in fact, exactly like Kerbals!

[RogueNine]

My money's on it being made of Cavorite.

You aren't "seeing" radioactivity. You're seeing light emissions... blast it!

Okay, so you can see quantum energy changes that result in the release of a quanta whose ev is in the visible light spectrum.... and technically this is radiation.

Of course, this type of radiation also powers lightbulbs, leds, lcds... etc.

"Radiation" like alpha or beta or gamma radiation isn't visible.

[dryer_lint]

Um... the Magic Boulder doesn't exist anymore. Just saying.

Because we're keeping it in a heavily guarded car of the Hypetrain. It's more efficient.

[Vallius]

Unity Code--And magic,of course.

Some noted Kerbal theorists claim that it's really the result of strange quantum entanglement, but that's the same thing.

He didn't say he could see the radioactivity, just that it looked like something that might be radioactive. If one saw a green rock that is the same color as cartoons of uranium, one might think it looked like it would be radioactive.

Technically, I suppose.

I guess it was a poor way of trying to explain that uranium doesn't glow green.

In fact, I would say that if you found a strange object that glowed green... it is FAR SAFER than finding a random ordinary looking metallic object. If it glows green, it is almost certainly a prank; if it doesn't it may be radioactive. The next time you get change, look down and ask "are these strange pieces of metal radioactive?"

Nevermind... pop culture has that effect on us. Radioactive stuff glows ;p

Err... wow.... radioactive money is actually real.

Yeah, the whole "radioactive things glow green" thing is funny. It's true that uranium ores can fluoresce green under ultraviolet light. But probably it comes from the color of phosphorescent material that was used in radium watches (which could be green if doped with copper).

One day a foreign visitor to Los Alamos saw some anti-nuclear protesters on the roadside holding up signs with big green mushroom clouds on them. She was confused and thought they were local farmers selling broccoli.

[livefree75]

It's probably composed mainly of neutronium and exotic neutronium infused with Kethane (hence the green) and Explodium.

[Jexx]

It's made out of those missing kerbals (hence the green colour) you lost on your first missions.
