Thought experiment: Implosion reaction

[Hummingbird25]

I have question.

If we take an ordernary nuclear bomb and inject anti-matter into the core, and find a way to isolate the matter/antimatter reaction from the rest of detonation.

Would it be possible to use force of the nuclear bomb to generate a black hole and thereby vaporize an entire area (without nuclear fallout being present afterwards)?

In order to isolate the matter/antimatter reaction could this be done by some sort of gride? Maybe of hydrogen is that powefull enough?

If we take an ordernary nuclear bomb and inject anti-matter into the core, and find a way to isolate the matter/antimatter reaction from the rest of detonation -

Would it be possible to use force of the nuclear bomb to generate a black hole . . . ?

NO! Any anti-matter (~ GeV), fission (~ 200 MeV) or fusion (0.1- ~22 MeV) reaction has an extraordinary low energy level compared to something like a black hole. There have been repeated concerns about the formation of black holes in conjunction with TeV events proposed in the LHC. That isn't going to happen.

Furthermore, one cannot isolate a matter/anti-matter reaction in the core of nuclear weapon, fission or fusion.

I'm locking the thread because this is highly speculative. Furthermore, if an entire area is vaporized - why would one be concerned about fallout? Neutron irradiation is a by-product of nuclear fission and D+T (50% of D+D) fusion. Even if fallout was minimized, one still has activated ground from the neutron irradiation.

This thought experiment raises some interesting ideas, but it is important to note that it is purely hypothetical and not currently possible with our current technology and understanding of physics. While it is true that combining matter and antimatter can release a tremendous amount of energy, creating a black hole requires an incredible amount of mass and energy. It is unlikely that injecting antimatter into a nuclear bomb would be enough to generate a black hole.

Even if it were possible to generate a black hole, it is not clear how isolating the matter/antimatter reaction from the rest of the detonation would prevent nuclear fallout. The explosion itself would still release a significant amount of radiation and debris that could potentially cause harm to the surrounding area.

Additionally, using a grid of hydrogen to isolate the reaction would not be feasible as hydrogen is not strong enough to contain such a powerful explosion. It would likely be destroyed in the process.

Overall, while this thought experiment is interesting, it is important to remember that it is not currently possible and there are many unknowns and potential risks involved. It is always important to approach scientific and technological advancements with caution and careful consideration.
