I am asking because i recently watched a BBC documentry on hiroshima and i thought i heard that people had been vapourized, And i am just wondering what happens to your body when it is vapourised.

They simply disappear as the heat turns the whole body into to gases immediately.

Yes, we are mostly water - evaporate that with a high temperature and we are ashes. According to the US government, an entire aircraft including all it's passengers, black box, etc, was vapourised when it hit the pentagon on what has become to known as 9/11. Strange thing was - a passport survived hardly singed. One of the engines also survived - although the makers - said it wasn't one of theirs! There is an interesting video that can be found if you do a Yahoo search! http://www.mrMADavis.co.uk. I forget what page it's on - but it is fascinating. There have been cases of methane building up in peoples large bowel being blamed for spontaneous combustion. Don't smoke and f*rt at the same time (baked beans could play a part in that) !

The human body is mostly hydroxide with some trace minerals. Once you convert the the H20 to steam and the organic compounds to CO2, you are left with the trace minerals, many metals. These will make a phase change to gases at high enough temperatures. Eventually, most of the body's elements will re-condense as they cool and become fallout.

Vapourised d.w.i.s.o.t.c.
Literally turns all tissue/bone etc to a vapour/gas
Rather similar effect to magicians flash paper - nothing left - all gone- not even an ash pile.

if a very high temp is achived in very short amount of time, this cud be possible. when US dropped atom bomb on hiroshima & nagasaki human bodies hv been reported 2 b melted. if one cen achive higher temp than dis, human bodies can be vapourised. (Nuk war btween India & pak is enuf for that!!!)

YES, A HUMAN BEING OR LIVING CREATURE CAN BE VAPORIZED. IT WOULD REQUIRE INSTANT EXTREME HEAT OF 10,000 DEGREES FARENHIT, ATOMIC EXPLOSION IS LIKE THE SURFACE OF THE SUN, THERE IS NOTHING KNOWN TO MAN THAT CAN SURVIVE THE SUN.WHEN COLUMBIA RE-ENTERED OUR ATMOSPHERE, IT BURNED UP IN 6 MINUTES OR LESS.LAZERS BEAMS BIG ENOUGH WITH ENOUGH ENERGY COULD VAPORIZE A HUMAN.

Anything including human flesh and bones can be evaporated if there is the temperature high enough to achieve it.For example during a nuclear explosion.

I'm having a conference on the surface of the sun next tuesday. Meet me there and I will explain it to you.
