    Somebody probably died in that fireball

      They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.

        Skipping right past chemistry, sounds like a best case scenario.

          It’s actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was “You wouldn’t die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics.” I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version “They ascended from biology to a more pure science.”

      Nah, the pressure of the explosion milliseconds prior to the heat is what likely killed them, but that fireball was a nice follow-up.
