Higgsino physics published a straightforward (if not exactly simple) animation showing what went wrong at Chernobyl. It's like a physics equivalent to those "every day from your favorite war" animations showing the front lines advance and retreat across continents. Except this war happened in a big metal bucket in Pripyat. Turn on closed captions, but not until you have absorbed the legend at the bottom. Chernobyl simulation. What vent wrong shown here, I will recreate the same events as in the control room and show you how the reactor responded....
