What Happens When You Smash Nitroglycerin With a Hammer in 600x Slow Motion?


Nitroglycerin, first discovered in 1846, is the explosive essence of dynamite. Even slowed down 600x, the reaction—detonation—is so violent, so fast, it still happens in less than the blink of an eye.

Beyond amazing! I suck haaaaard at chemistry, but the machinations and truths behind it have always mystified me.

The fact that a single drop of liquid did that all? I dare you to find me a person who isn't shocked at the implications and possibilities of that.
