If this is true, then all the stars are currently riping the heck out of fabric of space, right this second.

You can almost see it in the pic. It feels like a zoom into an atom and the energy of the unknown is almost palpable. The view makes the man made objects seem like an old clay-mation film.
eerie.... but hauntingly beautiful

Thanks for the replies,it certainly is quite a freaky picture.
Kaytagg, appreciate the link -the description of the photograph doesn't realy get any more comprehensive than that.
Don't know if anyone remembers this British scientific docu-drama about nuclear warfare
from 1984 but it still remains one of the most scariest films I've ever seen.

Maybe space is made of kevlar space fabric.

Whilst looking through these pics showing a great many impressive (and destructive) nuclear detonation photographs I found this very strange image:
Haven't realy ever seen anything like it before -any scientificaly minded members have an idea of the mechanics involved?

That is the most disturbing film I've ever seen in my life! Not kidding. All the horror flicks in the world don't come close. I'm glad to have watched it once, to gain perspective, but will never allow myself to sit through that again.

I wonder what causes the "tunnels" within the explosion. You would assume that such a force like that would spread out evenly fairly evenly.
The downward directed "tunnels" are, to my understanding, caused by the vaporized support cables that keep the tower upright. What you see there is a few ionized clouds of steel.
The hollow spaces within the main cloud are probably caused by the uneven structure of the bomb, which makes some parts of the explosion wave front be slightly delayed. And of course the timing of the photograph was just right for them to be visible for a tiny fraction of a second.
I find these photos very interesting to a scientist's eye, very scary to the other eye that belongs to a mortal, if you don't mind the expression.
