The Doomsday Explosive! (The Neutronium Bomb)

Neutronium was the material used in the hull of the doomsday machine in Star Trek.
Now I'm not terribly sure what the mechanical properties of neutronium would be like. It certainly is very dense (about a billion tons per cm3, about the volume of the end of your little finger), but it interacts with matter only weakly. I would expect both it to be pretty inefficient at stopping both electromagnetic radiation (neutrons only have a magnetic moment), and matter.
However in reality there's a somewhat bigger problem. When neutrons are outside of the nucleus of atoms, or are outside the huge pressure that exists in neutron stars, they have a half life of about 10 minutes. To make it even more awkward, when a neutron decays, it releases about a MeV of energy. So put a few extra numbers into this, like a mole of neutrons (6e23 neutrons) weighs about a gram, and a ton of TNT is 4e9 Joules and you can work out that just the neutrons in your typical human (about half your body weight), will release about the same energy as a megaton (one million tons of TNT). A little more scratching around on half life calculations and you can work out that if you have a half life of 10 minutes, then you will release about 1 part in 1000 of its total energy in the very first second.
This means that if you could extra merely a ml of neutronium, and free it from that immense pressure, then it would release the same energy as 15 million Czar bombs (the largest man-made bomb ever) in the very first second.

Wow neutron stars carry alot of energy. NEUTRON FREAKIN' ROADWAYS

[@DoubleM55]

+FiNiTe Or even better, imagine a neutronium powered car! You could drive at speed of 0.95c for hundreds of billions of years without a single refill!

[@amacuro]

+FiNiTe - Neutron stars form after regular stars collapse as supernovae, so stars in general carry a lot of energy =P Don't forget our sun burns I don't know how many million tons of hydrogen per second equivalent to thousands or millions of nuclear bombs (per second) and that's just our sun

[@midnitehound]

I learn more about science from Thunderfoot's videos than I ever did in highschool chemistry/science classes. I think it's because he talks about interesting things rather than monotonously listing everything mankind knows in some arbitrary order.

That's only possible because of video editing and the fact that the teacher is making eye contact 100% of the time (Impossible in an ACTUAL classroom). Thunderf00t's lecture in a university wouldn't to be too different from other professors if they're actually doing it in real time in front of a large lecture hall. Of course, if you're interested in the subject matter, the lecture will be likely interesting reguardless. P.S. I don't think Phil Mason actually does uni lectures, could be wrong.

[@insect212]

It's not. You would have to find a place with no gravity.

[@kainebishop3970]

[@vbywrde]

Thank you for the video! Fascinating. I have a question though. I take it that the anti-gravity stasis field itself would not prevent the neutron ball from decaying... would it? In which case, even if you had a 1cm ball of Neutronium held in an anti-gravity stasis field as you demonstrated... it would still explode. No? Or is there something about the anti-gravity stasis field that would prevent that? Thanks again for a great video!

[@DEMONIKMINION]

If the hypothetical neutronium in that box did fall would it not make Swiss cheese out of earth due planet rotation?

[@chrislehman957]

Yes it would before it decayed and hopefully when its far into space. It will be going at least 25,000 mph when it exit's the other side of the earth.

[@henene4]

chris lehman You did a little mistake in your calculation. Once it passed the center of the earth, theoreticly (as we can't say for sure) gravity would pull it back towards the center of the earth, slowing it down. This means, without friction taken in account, it would only fly away form earths center as far as it fell towards it.

[@Pac0Master]

Well. It do not interact much with matter so it might pass through without creating a hole.

[@Jun127]

***** It's still affected by gravity. Imagine you have an x-men like superpower allowing you to pass through solid objects. Oops, you went transparent and fell into the earth. You'd eventually fall towards the other side of the earth, then oscillate back and forth until eventually coming to rest in the center of the earth's gravitational field. Not a great superpower and it would be essentially what happens with the neurtronium.

[@Pac0Master]

Jun127 Yeah but I was talking about how people says that it will make a hole on what it pass through. If it don't interact with matter, how can it make a hole?

+Chuck Norris II There's this really silly but amusing scene in an anime that this reminds me of. It involves a guy from our modern day real world, who is stuck in a full blown fantasy world, and in this scene has to duel this angel in a bizarre magical game. They take turns to say a word, and anything they say either appears if it isn't present, or disappears if it already is. After between them summoning in monsters, nuclear bombs, magic shields, disappearing the earth core, the atmosphere, etc, and the angel thinking she's about to win, the guy comes out and says... *"Coulomb Force"* The law of physics that holds anything and everything together on the atomic level. Boom. It's ridiculous, but cracked me up watching. As far as the angel can tell of course, all he said were some unknown "magic words" and suddenly all of creation just annihilates itself on a godlike level.

[@rykehuss3435]

UnknownSquid It's Coulomb's Law, not force.

[@UnknownSquid]

thunda Those are simply the literal words said in the show. And it did mean the force itself specifically, not the law that describes the force. Same way that the force 'Gravity' isn't called 'Newton's theory of gravitation'. The force itself is referred to as a variety of names, including Coulomb Force, Electrostatic Force, or the Coulomb Interaction.

[@Swaaaat1]

Because we know how gravity works and, thanks to modern equipement like the LHC we know very well that the standard model of particules is very, veery accurate. So we can do the math and predict of what they're made of and how they work.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

I read a sci fi book wherein they described what they called collapsium. They took regular matter and collapsed it until the nuclei were all compressed together. So it was heavy but almost indestructible.

[@d.thieud.1056]

That's How neutron star are formed, they are the part in between a black hole and a star, the star collapses, it's gravity overcomes the forces Inside the atoms, electrons and protons remove each other, so only neutrons remain, neutron stars can't even get bigger, only denser unit their gravity overcomes all possible forces and warps time infinitely forming an event horizon, or as its most commonly known, a black hole

[@gregorykrajeski6255]

Neutronium packs a punch, but a positron - electron annihilation with release about a third more energy per event (decay events in the case of the neutrons and annihilation events in the case of the electros - positron pair). And all of the energy would be released at once, so more boom and quicker, bomb-like explosion. But anti-neutronium would release 2400 times the energy of neutronium per unit mass. And again all at once. Hawking radiation also makes the last moments of a black hole's life very explosive.

[@Quasihamster]

I hope the antigravity box thing doesn't run on batteries. And do neutrons really look like black plastic?

[@erickawczynski5925]

This is my favourite thunderf00t video

[@StarSong936]

Just a note here - As I understand it, neutronium is highly unstable outside a massive gravitational field, and would likely explode. For something like the doomsday machine, the mechanism would likely be crumpled into a ball rather quickly, and render all mechanisms inoperative, always provided it did not explode first. Of course, this show is science fiction, and we can imagine mechanisms that would stabilize said material. Still, it does make for interesting entertainment.

He was holding neutronium but the anti-gravity device was holding the entire weight of the neutronium in perfect balance so the weight of the neutronium was cancelled out, therefore he could hold it no problem. He must have had a transparent solar panel somewhere as the power source or a nano thorium laser and a drop of water was the power source.

[@leisulin]

What I want to know is: if the stasis field were suddenly removed from the cubic centimeter of neutronium, wouldn't it also explode from the neutrons not wanting to be pressed in so close together, adding even more energy to the explosion?

[@ravenfannumber01]

[@paul1964uk]

The fascinating fact about a nuclear explosion is the incredibly short time for which the energy is produced: 10^-n (for some large n) seconds. So what we see when a bomb goes off (even that 'flash') isn't a 'nuclear reaction' . The products travel at well below the speed of light - meaning, in the period the energy is being generated by a reaction, the space they occupy can hardly expand to any volume at all. Most of what we see is simply shockwaves - shadows of the actual event.

[@ThatFadedAsian]

Correction, you mean it isn't a nuclear "EXPLOSION", but it's still a nuclear reaction.

[@Logicinfact]

Praying that you see this message. With as much energy as the human body potentially holds, does spontaneous human combustion not seem entirely plausible but likely in the right conditions?

[@Jun127]

It does make me wonder how much damage a neutronium bomb would actually do. Assuming it falls towards the center of the earth quite quickly, most of the energy would be released in earths interior and core. Maybe dropping neutronium into a dead planet like mars can bring it back to life.
