Kind of... it is more of an intellectual explosion (rather than a physical one) such that everyone becomes dumber if they are around when it happens.

I cannot talk about it here... but if you go to the soapbox, you'll see several politically based jokes that will explain it.

You get women's logic?
It's an OO world.

As a corollary, here is a website about Dark Patterns, user interfaces that are designed to trick you:

We should all learn from astronomers, who found that if you spout any old bollocks that cannot be disproven mathematically (a Hell of a wide scope, there), anyone doesn't happily wade thigh-deep in mathematical formulae (i.e. just about everyone in the entire world) will have no choice but to take your word for it.
They must have a terribly difficult time, writing up their "research" -- it's tricky to type with your fingers crossed behind your back.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Duncan Edwards Jones Code Zone. "

I've mentioned before an idea I had about getting the smartest and brightest (yeah, that means you lot) to come up with solutions to day to day issues we have that will, ultimately, save the community as a whole some time and pain.
A challenge I'm facing at the moment is in correcting grammar and punctuation.
Many, many, MANY times I see questions or articles that have things like "i then did" or "im not sure" or the punishable-by-death "ur mileage may vary". Even Sql instead of SQL and Asp.Net instead of ASP.NET keep popping up.
Is anyone interested in a challenge to write a Javascript library that will auto-correct bad spelling and punctuation? It'll be a formal contest with prizes (and maybe even some better specs).
Yay or nay: any interest?
cheers

Sounds like it could be fun. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to this before the middle of September, but this could well be a fun little challenge.

I thought so too - until I got to the "Javascript" bit... 
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

I'll just write it in Typescript. I've been using it a lot lately, and I like the way it works. It almost makes JavaScript enjoyable.

"almost"
That's the key word here...
