Why magnesium burns with blinding white light
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Magnesium doesn't just burn; it violently attempts to blind anyone foolish enough to stare directly at it. It combusts into an intensely pure white light that releases massive amounts of ultraviolet radiation. Historically, early photographers used it as flash powder, happily risking permanent eye damage just to take a halfway decent portrait.
