I came across this animation... http://www.ilight.com/
...and was struck by the resemblance to the photo on Mizuno's book cover. http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/reader/ref=sib_dp_pt/ 102-7351500-5733754?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=1892925001 http://tinyurl.com/rd4c9 I now understand just what that photo is telling us though I don't expect many people to take me seriously since the congnitive dissonance of the explanation is too great. The photo is showing the splashes of material thrown up by the collapse of the roof of a nuclear explosion cavity which is at Beta- atmosphere pressures vastly below ambient. The different cones are caused by different pieces hitting the floor of the cavity at enormous speed. This enormous speed arises from the huge pressure differential between the outside and the inside. The way they radiate out shows that the different parts of the collapse dome are projected along their respective diameters in accordance with the force vectors operating, Ah well, it shows that nucular (pace Dubya) reactions are definitely taking place. It would take those kind of pressures to open up such a huge Beta-atmosphere cavity in a metal. The structures are not unlike that famous photo of a drop impacting on the surface of milk.
