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.![:pinkiegasp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiegasp.png)
"Fire up the Orbital Friendship Cannon" now has more sinister undertones, too ...
It's magic, we ain't gotta explain jack!![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
