JMBuilder Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Many people say that Godzilla's bright blue atomic breath is unrealistic. I think I have a decent explanation.Godzilla is obviously a nuclear monster. One of the byproducts of a nuclear reaction is krypton (Kr) gas, which, when charged, is white with a bright blue tinge. This means that Godzilla's atomic breath is possibly supercharged krypton vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeningGalaxy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 What if it were essentially nuclear salt-water rocket exhaust? It would be moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light, making it mega destructive, and the intense neutron flux could conceivably give rise to bright blue Cherenkov radiation, in addition to charged krypton plasma. So maybe it's BOTH supercharged krypton vomit AND relativistic steam plasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds legit.If you told somebody a two thousand years ago three men would go to the moon on a vessel 300' tall and 33' they would have told you that it would have been impossible, nothing that tall could have a base so small.
