Hollywood: "Let's make uranium glow bright green because science!"
Actual nuclear physicists: *flips table in rage*
Fun fact: Real uranium actually glows a subtle blue-violet under UV light due to fluorescence, not that radioactive neon green that movies love to portray. The iconic "green glow" misconception probably stems from early radium paint used in watch dials, which glowed green because of the phosphor mixed with it, not the radioactive element itself. Next time you see green glowing goo in a movie, just know that somewhere a scientist is having an aneurysm.
