How does an umbrella create a similar effect to a radio with sound?
So today I was holding up an umbrella near someone playing music, and it sounded like the music was coming from the top of my umbrella. Is this a similar effect to a radio?

Implosion grenades: do they exist?
So I was reading some books with implosion grenades in them, and was wondering if they were theoretically possible.
