− | + | {{w|Fusion cuisine}} is a style of cuisine based on combining aspects of the cuisines of two or more cultures -- such as a combination of French and Chinese food, or Mexican and Korean food. | |
− | The recipe | + | [[Cueball]] has chosen to conflate the "fusion" of "fusion cuisine", combining two or more cooking styles to create exciting new forms of food, with {{w|nuclear fusion}}, combining two or more atomic nuclei to create [https://what-if.xkcd.com/157/ new kinds of atoms]. The recipe, at the stage depicted, for the initiation of {{w|deuterium}} fusion in a kilogram ("four cups") of {{w|heavy water}} and allowing the reaction to continue to its endpoint, {{w|iron}}. The "very high heat" specified in the recipe presumably is the million-plus Kelvin at which {{w|deuterium fusion}} is initiated in stars. Given this context, the complete lack of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_protective_equipment PPE] worn by Cueball and the hapless onlooking White Hat is peculiar - though the spatial extent of the unconstrained fusion reaction being initiated will likely make all PPE concerns instantaneously superfluous, for Cueball, White Hat, and a sizable percentage of their fellow citizens. |
