Now that’s some fish to die for!

The recipe states that you have to heat the fish until the geiger counter goes off, not until it starts glowing red.
Explanation
In practice this would be absurd to achieve.
As you continue to heat an object, it starts to glow due to the infrared light it emits (the one we perceive as heat) that transitions to a red glow as the frequency emitted gets higher (that’s why that fish is glowing). If we continue to heat the fish until it reaches millions of degrees celcius, it’s frequency should shift to the ionizing range(radioactive), and set off the geiger counter

at what temperature and oxygen density does the carbon break free and automatically bond with oxygen to form CO2, thus evaporating. you might burn the fish away before it gets radioactive.

Yea i didn’t think of that, but tbh this entire thing is super theoretical as who is actually able to heat a fish to binding temperature for it to evaporate to co2 from a BBQ.
