Neutronium Bomba on Earth - What would happen? [2021]
A single neutron releases about 1 MeV, which is insignificant. But if we had, let’s say, 1 kg, then things become a bit more interesting. In this calculations, we assumed that 1g of neutrons has 6.e23 number of particles. By that we can calculate the energy multiplying the result by 1 MeV. Then we converted the result into Joules and divided it by the total energy in 1 ton of TNT.
At the end of 1 kg total decay, the full energy released would be equivalent to 11.5 kilotons of TNT. That is almost as powerful as the first nuclear bomb detonated, Little Boy”.
Though it releases almost the same energy as the first nuclear weapons, I must point out that its explosion would not be the same. As neutrons decay, it will release all that energy throughout its half-lives’. Curiously enough, it would be releasing energy for about 15 half-lives’ or 2 and half hours.
However, there is a caveat. Its density, which I will explain in detail later in the video but first we need to comprehend what limits current nuclear bomb technologies.

"14 and a half hours of pure hell." A normal work day then...
-
"How much explosives can I use?" "Only a spoonfull" gets comically large spoon of neutronium
-
the fact that that much energy only evaporates 11% of the oceans is even more mindblowing than the energy released
-
This is Star-Trek-level technology, so far beyond current technological capabilities and physical understanding, really nothing to worry about. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being containment of Neutronium in antigravity stasis fields, household fusion reactors are about at 0.
-
bacteria at the bottom of the ocean: hmm getting a little warmer than usual. whatever
-
this bomb could even kill a cat, which has 9 lives, in one go.
-
THIS is the bomb to fear... Except there are no signs that actually making this bomb is physically possible.
-
So this is a theoretical substance that we have no idea how to create or harvest. Even if we could make it, containing it would require basically magic sci-fi technology. Yeah...this isn't the bomb to worry about.
-
"My damn paintings keep blowing up." "You using TNT Yellow?" "Yeah -- how'd you know?"
-
“It could destroy the surface in one second Oh ok, that’s really bad “16 times over” Well then
-
"As yellow dye. Lots of people died" best pun ever😂
-
I love how you ended with "alright folks, we're done here" because it reminded me of Cave Johnson from Portal 2, and because this is definitely something Cave Johnson would try to make
-
This explosion sounds like it would cause some serious lag.
-
Other people: "Merry Christmas!" Subject Zero: "What if we blew up the planet?"
-
When I was 6-7 years old, I was introduced to some of these concepts. Distracted as I was, the education was cut short. I had no clue the reasoning behind the education was tied to a dooms day bomb.
-
Now imagine if we managed to acquire some anti-neutronium
-
"Only 11 percent of the oceans would be evaporated." Oh, so this is how we solve the rising sea level.
-
that explosion would drastically effect fishing season
-
"You are the American Prometheus, Oppenheimer. You gave them the power to destroy themselves"
-
MAGNIFICENT. I had to watch this video twice to grasp it since I like figures that involve powers of tens.
