So in other words, it is interesting but useless. Pretty much any way of releasing energy get weaponized, sooner or later.

Exactly. Retarded British press writing stories for retarded British folks that live on television, celebrities, Page 4 gossip, and nothing else. What a horrible way to go through life. I thank God that my ancestors GTFO. I’m still amazed that I have British friends that actually don’t mind going back home, but most are adamant that they’ll never go back to live out their lives or work there.

That's nothing. Take the pistol shrimp, for instance.

The snapping shrimp competes with much larger animals such as the sperm whale and beluga whale for the title of loudest animal in the sea. The animal snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation bubble that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw. As it extends out from the claw, the bubble reaches speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph) and releases a sound reaching 218 decibels.[12] The pressure is strong enough to kill small fish.[13]
The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from the collapsing cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5,000 K (4,700 °C).[16] In comparison, the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,800 K (5,500 °C).

It's called The Big Bang Theory. It couldn't happen two times in a row . . I don't think. The annihilation of the universe would be the complete opposite of the Big Bang. In one scenario, in which the universe collapses upon itself, it's the "Big Crunch".
However, I'm sure there are other ways that the universe can potentially be annihilated, or simply vanish into nothingness. I think one such scenario of this possibility involves the eventual decay of all matter and energy.

Blowing up the whole friggin universe with a quarksplosion. Lol! So THAT was what you meant by "Big Bang". Now I get it!

There is a Q-Bomb in “The Mouse That Roared,” a Peter Sellers comic film from 1959.
It was a bomb that would theoretically destroy an entire continent.

Can this thread get put on the BOOM! list?

ohh I see-
In other words, if my girlfriend weighs, say, 116 lbs, or 52.6167 kg, the amount of energy contained in her beautiful body is
E = (52.6167) x (300,000) x (300,000) = 52.6167 x 90,000,000,000 =
473,550,300,000,000 jollies, or 4.7 x 10^15 jollies of energy.
I believe I got this right.
