32->''"Have you ever actually considered how much lava is in [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} the Nether]]? There's literal ''[[FireAndBrimstoneHell oceans]]'' of molten rock, lining the floor! Lava burns between 800 and 1200 degrees ''Celsius!''[[note]]1500°F - 2200°F[[/note]] And as heat transfers thermal radiation being absorbed by your body, it means the more surface area, the more radiative emission. So in reality, seeing a lava ocean like this would feel like walking into a ''jet engine,'' and as thermal radiation is a type of EM radiation and thus effected [sic] by the Inverse Square Law, meaning the closer Steve gets, he will ''exponentially'' get hotter! Really, just standing this close would ''literally'' melt the skin off your body! And not to mention that lava would be emitting so many photons, it would make you BLIND by being so bright! But the truth is, none of this matters, because whenever you see pictures of lava, it has a black outer crust, from being cooled by the surrounding air! This is not the case in the Nether: the lava is all fresh and orange, meaning the surrounding air's ''already WELL above'' twelve hundred degrees Celsius! The moment Steve steps into the Nether, ''he should be dissolved into a gooey pile of MUSH!''"''
