DDT: Deflagration to Detonation Transition, the point at which a fuel goes from steadily combusting to spontaneously detonating.
It happens when you have a perfect Air:Fuel ratio, and taht's very rare, but the closer you get to the ratio, the more prone it is to detonation.

Deflagration: steady combustion
Detonation: It blows up uncontrollably.
Just like a stick of dynamite.

And those who have it, try to hide it more than those who dont.
