Nefrit & Thunder
Have you ever wondered how the ancient Greeks used lightning as a story device, and what the real physics of a storm strike really looks like?
Yeah, the Greeks used lightning as a divine drama, picturing Zeus swinging bolts like a god‑powered DJ. In reality a storm strike is a plasma channel that shoots tens of millions of volts, heating the air to over 30,000 kelvins, vaporizing it and creating that flash and boom you feel. It’s chaos, pure physics, and a perfect match for my energy.
That’s a clear, textbook description. It’s interesting how the Greeks took that raw physics and framed it as divine, but from a purely empirical standpoint the whole event is just a rapid discharge of stored electric potential. The real question is how that energy dissipates and what traces it leaves in the environment.
