Dark Matter Bomb?

Vierstein

Are you sure you are not getting confused with antimatter? I recall antimatter bombs being unleashed but never came across darkmatter bombs. Maybe it were the creators of the show whom got confused. If those bombs resulted in a big effin explosion they probably started with antimatter bombs and changed it to dark for the coolfactor.

As for darkmatter, seen as we dont really have a grasp on it, its anything you want it to be :p .

If you're in need of a destructive instrument, er... bomb, wouldn't a dark energy driven device be more appropriate?

BTW, I'm no expert/physicist, but a big rip style bomb would seem to be more, umm, explosive.

Looks like this discussion has drifted off-topic from the OP:
... a perfectly legitimate question to ask here in the "Science Fiction & Fantasy" subforum.
Exactly. We're either talking about real science, or we make it clear that we are talking about fiction.
Actually, at Physics Forums, we do exactly that or we don't post here. Consider it our forum's Prime Directive, if I may borrow a phrase from a popular old sci fi show.
