It's true light can be bad in the case of the nuclear bombs. Interesting.

But it isn't the "light" that emanates from the nukes that's harmful. It's the energy, right? Or are those the same? Any scientists around, Doc Astro maybe?

Imagine I could detonate a device that sends forth the same amount of light as a nuclear bomb, but it didn't have the explosive power behind it. What would happen in that case?

I suppose that the sound from a nuclear bomb could also be destructive.
