    I found a similar discussion on Reddit and liked this comment because it was easy to understand:

    The energy released in the fission (splitting) of ONE atom of U-235 is enough to make a single grain of sand visibly move.

    It’s apparently a quote from the book The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes.

        Instead of constant noise there’s just a single pop, and the leaves are gone. Just be careful with the dosage.
