What if you close it really hard like a diesel piston? Surely that’s deserving of a bang!
Comment on what really happened to the Titanic
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 months agoYes.
Also, this wouldn’t produce an explosion. There is a MASSIVE difference between supercritical and bomb levels of prompt critical.

You’d have to use enough energy to compress it a lot. The kinds of energy where you wouldn’t even need the core there to utterly obliterate something the size of the Titanic.

You greatly underestimate my strength. *smashes fingertips between Demon Core halves*

What about the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 months ago
Sorry Marvin, but nuclear armament is a far cry from Earth shattering!

You forgot about Project Sundial
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 months ago
Ideas are not the same as possibilities.
Also, the Earth takes hits bigger than that. Even the Tonga eruption was about 10 megatons of energy.
The Chicxulub impact is estimated to be around 100 trillion tons of tnt equivalent. 10000x bigger than Sundial was even proposed.
Chicxulub did not shatter the Earth.

That was a fusion device though

You’re not thinking big enough. ;)

Nah, there’s literally not enough nukes or even fissile material to make an Earth-shattering bomb. It takes a lot of energy to shatter something the size of Earth.

Maybe it was in a Vegetable Glycerin reference.

The reactor didn’t have a pointy tip so it bounced off the ground.
