Cherenkov radiation is when a charged particle passes through a medium faster than the speed of light in that medium.

Chekhov radiation is when radiation is discovered in act one, and kills someone by act three.

Chekov radiation is the kind that powers nuclear wessels.

    No-one's really sure if Schrödinger radiation actually exists, and Murphy's radiation only seems to be detectable after a lethal dose.

    Good joke, but the topic of advanced physics breaks community rules. Newton's laws may be somewhat understood by 3-6 year olds, but how radiation works and death not until closer to puberty.
