B Is there such a thing as a Quark Bomb?

Click For Summary
The discussion explores the concept of a "Quark Bomb," with participants humorously debating its existence and operational principles. Some argue that all bombs could be considered quark bombs since they are made of atoms, while others make playful references to various types of non-explosive "bombs," such as chocolate and whipped-cream bombs. The conversation shifts to light-hearted banter about chocolate addiction, with a participant sharing a humorous take from their mother. Ultimately, the thread concludes without a serious resolution on the original topic. The playful tone and diverse interpretations reflect the community's engagement with both scientific and whimsical ideas.

It would be interesting to build such a Bomb.

What makes you think such a thing even exists? What is its principle of operation? You can't just stick words together and then it's a "thing". (Electron bombs! Cabbage bombs! Helium bombs! Whipped-cream bombs!)

It exists, but it needs an ample amount of electrons to function.
 
All bombs are quark bombs. In the same way a chocolate bomb is an atom bomb because it's made of atoms.

I posit to you, sir, that chocolate is an aethereal substance of its own divine nature!

My mum used to say that if an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol, then someone addicted to chocolate should be a chocolatic or chockic; and that the word chocoholic was absurd.
