I know this isn't the comparison being made, but I love the idea of jumping straight from swords to nukes. Writing prompt: a 16th century blacksmith suddenly realizes, "If I surround an unstable rock with a neutron reflecting earth metal, I can trigger a runaway chain reaction that'll get that stump outta me yard."

I was confused for a bit while watching the video so I watched all of it until the end. I only ended up more confused as time went on. What's even worse is there's no indication of what it's from.
