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.

    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.
