Quoted By:
5 tons of tnt can move 225000 tons 1 foot in the air
thats 450000000 psi
for reference the core of the earth is 52700000 psi
fatman weighed five tons and the plutonium core had a surface area of 10 inches
the explosive device itself had a suface area of 2827 inches
thats 158000 psi on the plutonium core
the density of the earth's core is 13g/cm^3 and is made of nickel
the natural density of nickel is 8.9g/cm^3
thats a 46% increase in density of nickel at 52700000 psi
nickel is 5 times lighter than plutonium
the lowest yield nuclear bomb pic related is said to achieve a 23% increase in density
EVEN IF TNT WAS 10 TIMES STRONGER IT STILL WOULD ONLY BE 2/3rd OF THE WAY TO GENERATING THE a 23% INCREASE IN NICKEL WHICH IS FIVE TIMES LIGHTER
