Explain to me how 9 50mt hydrogen warheads around a solid lithium core wouldnt create pressures similar to a neutron star and thus make the bomb have yield excess of 20,000 megatons which can destroy entire planets.

Wrong board, PrepHole would probably be your best bet.
>Explain to me how 9 50mt hydrogen warheads
because it takes 10 or more.
This. OP is a confirmed window licking moron
>20,000 megatons which can destroy entire planets.
A few orders of magnitude too small. Also, that arrangement sounds dumb. Jacket the entire thing in one package to maximize neutron flux.
or just an arbitrarily large n staged teller-ulam device.
God damn are you a fricking moron.
Post proof this wouldnt work.
Cause it cain't bro. You caint make more energy than you got in the first place that is basic science.
FIrst bomb goes off? That's how much you got right there bro it ain't gonna get no bigger.
The castle series of hydrogen bomb tests tell a different story
He's inferring that the internal shockwave focal point would produce pressures unheard of in a miniscule location, then rebound outward at a proportionally larger rate and with significantly higher overpressure, overtaking the initial external Shockwave and increasing the net explosive effect to somewhere in the region of 20Gt.
The logic is semi sound, but only 9 would likely leave an imperfect focul point thus reducing the final shockwave propogation. You'd need more than 9, a lot more to make it work properly.
Equally, put some super dense material inside the focal point circumference and you'll get a new sort of material produced.
The pressure inside the center of our sun is several times greater than inside a thermonuclear bomb yet it doesn't get remotely close to the pressures required to make neutronium
Gnomon and Sundial (1000 megaton primary and 10000 secondary phase) were actually studied by Livermore and Operation Redwing was going to detonate a prototype device but ended up not doing it.
Nuclear physicist seemed to consider it possible.
The sequel to Oppenheimer should be Teller and he just keeps suggesting bigger bombs and nuclear weapons for dredging until the US Government gets exhausted with him.
I thought the US Government ditched him because of the intense autism of the SDI.
>but ended up not doing it.
Thanks for telling us that, for second I was worried my memory was failing.
>Operation Redwing was going to detonate a prototype device but ended up not doing it.
Seems a little excessive for a recon patrol.
Not going to do your Sampson Option homework for you, Bibi
You have no idea how a Graviton works, do you OP?
The Prophet's aren't sending their best.
What if OP meant nine fusion bombs that are each 50 million tonnes heavy?
There is no way you can create neutronium by nuclear weapons
Because 450 megatons < 20 000 megatons
ok, show them.
No
This is just the Nova Bomb from Halo First Strike
I'll explain it in detail right after you describe how the Triumvirate shaped future governments. Get back to doing your homework, Billy
Isn't this the same thing as "omg they could create an artificial black hole in a lab and destroy everything!!"? You need so much mass to create a neutron star, much less an actual fricking black hole, that even if you put all the mass of the solar system together it still wouldn't be enough. Why the frick you think you could accomplish that with a device is beyond me.
It’s from Halo, OP is basically quoting from First Strike where the explanation was that it would be used against covenant worlds
That's dumb. OP should get into better sci-fi universes like Dune. The only book in the series is absolutely phenomenal.
Halo could’ve become infinitely better if 343 didn’t fumble the bag the nano second they took over
Halo 1? Because that was the only good HALO and I don't recall such moronation.
It’s from the book First Strike also cringe opinion
Halo 1 is the GOAT, but the other games, and especially non vidja media is goyslop
Let me guess “popular thing always bad”
No, not always, just usually.
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was "only" 100,000 gigatons of energy.
20,000 mt wouldn't even come close.
And* it didn't fully wipe them out, reptiles survived, mamals survived, birds survived, it barely effected marine life, etc.
>barely effected marine life
all true except that, it killed the oceans too and they took thousands of years to recover
In theory, you can have arbitrary yield by adding additional stages to any Teller-Ulam thermonuclear device, but even Teller never investigated anything larger than 10k megatons. If you want to bust a planet it's simpler to find some large asteroid and re-direct it.
1. It wouldn't
2. 20 000 MT wouldn't destroy the entire planet
A neutron star is dense enough that a single teaspoon of matter would have the mass of Mount Everest. I don’t think you’re going to create those kinds of pressures even with a few big nukes detonating in a sphere simultaneously
How would it create enough pressure?
Why lithium?
How would neutron star density for 1/10000000th of a second generate such a yield
Do you no know of explosive implosion type fission bombs never worked right, as the ecoplosoves wouldn't go off the same time, there's always some variance
Why do you think that yield would destroy the planet? It's not even close.
You can make the explosives go off at the same time. But it would be exceedingly difficult to make them accurate enough to regulate.
