Well, you guys were so great/polite/Knowledgable last time so I'm back again with another Screenplay related question. This time I've moved on from amateur screenwriter to Semi-Professional. It's been a good year :) So this is where I'm beginning my research. I've been pitched a new Sci-Fi...

Thanks everyone. Although I'm not quite there yet, all this is helping. The point is this is Sci-fi, so anything is possible. If I need him to find a black hole he can build a "blackhole detector". Failing that a "BlackHole Generator". This is fantasy, sci-fi movie logic, so feel free to...

Thanks, Academic. Anywhere in space that might be poetic place to detonate? Some cosmic tourist trap? :)

Cool. Thanks, Zaphys. As you said, it's basically cinema so as long as the science holds up to an extent I'm okay with that. Nothing wrong with a bit of artistic license. I believe it's better known as Movie-logic :)

So in keeping with the fragile psychological state of my main character, would it make sense (in his deluded head) that if he blew himself up using thermonuke in space then his atoms would be scattered over the universe thus achieving (in his mind) some kind of omnipresence?

Having googled Tsar bomb, I'm guessing that might be logistically a little cumbersome ... or impossible even. :)

Yeah. As I said, it's not that he'll ever achieve omnipresence or that it's even possible. It's more that he'll gradually go insane and die trying.

Thanks, zaphys. So if a termonuclear (is that thermonuclear) explosion where triggered in a reactor with the main character inside that would work? What would happen to the atoms then once he was vaporized?

Hi there, First off, I hope this is the right place for this post. It's not a homework question so I can't really post it there. But it is a research based question. Ohh and my apologies that my first ever post should be to ask for help from you knowledgeable peeps. It's just I'm way out...
