      Just plain old blue electrical arcs.

      On the other hand, Cherenkov radiatiation is only indirectly related to criticality. It comes from any particle moving through a medium, generally water, faster than light travels through that medium. A luminous sonic boom of sorts! It’s associated with criticality because those are the contexts where it happens often enough to actually be visible.

      Mercury-based diodes both look way cooler and are way less spooky than garden variety semicondictor diodes.

    Struggling for content, huh? Only reason to include 2 full bridge rectifiers.
    I mean, they are cool. And important. Surely there are other scary things to include, tho
