Lets all now work to build a q-bomb.
” It’s so powerful that the researchers at first hesitated to publish the work”
They hesitated because they did not want their work to be used in military applications. If it works, lets use it for a better bomb.
So in other words, it is interesting but useless.
Cold Q-fusion? Perhaps real cold fusion in a few years.
Where do I get my Mr. Quark-splosion?
I’ve been looking for my free Atomic Energy since the late 50s.
Rule of Acquisition #74: Knowledge = Profit
Remember the Night Gallery episode where William Windom played a Scientist who was grieving over the death of his Daughter?
He invents a Weapon that creates Nuclear Fission without the need for Radioactive Elements.
It didn’t end well.
“Study found elementary particles called quarks release energy when fused...Certain types can produce eight times more energy than hydrogen fusion”
They’re going to keep monkeying around with these fundamental particles and forces until they annihilate the whole friggin universe! :0
Sharksplosionado is far worse
Book mark.
Call it “quack bomb”?
m = mass, in kilograms
E = Energy, in joules
c = Speed of Light, in kilometers per sec (300,000km/s)
In other words, if you weigh, say, 160lbs, or 72.6kg, the amount of energy contained in your body is
E = (72.6) x (300,000) x (300,000) = 72.6 x 90,000,000,000 =
474,368,400,000,000 joules, or 4.7 x 10^15 joules
I believe I got this right.
If so, try not to "gulp" too strongly when you read the final figure at the very bottom (in bold type)...

“A one kiloton nuclear weapon is one which produces the same amount of energy in an explosion as does 1 kiloton (1,000 tons) of TNT.
Similarly, a 1 megaton weapon would have the energy equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT.
One megaton is equivalent to 4.18 x 10^15 joules”
Oh no, the E-Quark and the endless E-Cat “right around the corner” prophesies on the site for free energy!!!!

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 was a bomb that would theoretically destroy an entire continent.
Quarks when fused form dilithium crystals
Unfortunately, the only way to create quarks is to break up larger subatomic particles. This takes as much energy as the quarks will release when they fuse together. In other words, no free lunch.
Hey the Q-BOMB was only just mentioned in the last movie in the Starship Troopers series.
