I was wondering if it is possible to use bose-einstein condensate to create a warhead with more yield then any other bomb? If so please let me know I can't find anything about it online.
Scientists had, in simulation, created a bomb strong enough to destroy a planet.Vanadium 50 said:No, it is not. I can't imagine why you think it might be so.
Please post a link to the journal article where this was reported...Jaakub said:Scientists had, in simulation, created a bomb strong enough to destroy a planet.
Look up apophis. That is the name of the bomb project. It was looked into as a way to protect us from a massive asteroid.berkeman said:Please post a link to the journal article where this was reported...
I don't want to look it up. Please post a link to a peer-reviewed journal article about it (not a pop-sci article). Thank you.Jaakub said:Look up apophis. That is the name of the bomb project. It was looked into as a way to protect us from a massive asteroid.
I can't remember the name of the article. Only the name of the weapon. That's why I didnt post the linkberkeman said:I don't want to look it up. Please post a link to a peer-reviewed journal article about it (not a pop-sci article). Thank you.
Apophis is an asteroid, and all I can find with a quick Google search are pop-sci articles speculating how to destroy it if it is on a collision course with Earth...Jaakub said:I can't remember the name of the article. Only the name of the weapon. That's why I didnt post the link
In the future you're going to need to do better than this. We have very high quality standards here. But since you're new and I'm really good at Google, I'd say odds are good that this is the article:Jaakub said:I can't remember the name of the article. Only the name of the weapon.

...aaand you misread it. The hypothetical weapon would use anti-hydrogen, stored as a BEC.
And this is one reason why we require users to post sources. Clearly it is pointless for us to try to explain something that was misread in the first place!
A quantum bomb is a theoretical explosive device that would utilize the principles of quantum mechanics to cause a large-scale destructive force. It is often compared to a traditional nuclear bomb, but with even more devastating capabilities.
Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that a quantum bomb is feasible or even possible to create. While quantum mechanics allows for the manipulation of particles at a subatomic level, the technology and understanding needed to harness this power for a bomb are far beyond our current capabilities.
Scientists have explored the concept of a quantum bomb as a thought experiment or as a way to further understand the complexities of quantum mechanics. It is not a practical or ethical pursuit for creating an actual weapon.
The effects of a quantum bomb would be catastrophic and unpredictable. It could potentially cause massive destruction and harm to both living beings and the environment. The technology used to create such a bomb could also have unintended consequences and implications for the future.
While there are currently no specific regulations on researching quantum bombs, any research on weapons of mass destruction is heavily monitored and regulated by governments and international treaties. Additionally, the ethical implications of such research would likely deter scientists from pursuing it.
