A nuclear bomb is from a statistical point of view 100% efficient. Nothing else comes close. Capiche?

Why is a nuclear bomb 100% efficient and a hydrogen explosion NOT 100% efficient. Both work on the same principle:

E=MC²

You need to admit that you don’t understand what is being discussed. A hydrogen explosion has no relation whatsoever to any nuclear reaction.

hydrogen explosion NOT 100% efficient. Both work on the same principle:

E=MC2

If you are talking about hydrogen combustion, it is not an E=MC² reaction. It is a chemical reaction that releases energy breaking/creating molecular, not atomic, bonds.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Like I said before, you need to back up your nonsense with a better education. You are way off on both counts. A thermonuclear reaction is atomic in nature and falls under E=MC2. A Hydrogen explosion in normal atmosphere is a thermo-chemical reaction in nature and on a molecular level and is governed under the laws of thermodynamics .

[Rick.Donaldson]

No, they do NOT work on the same principle.

Hydrogen being ignited requires both hydrogen and oxygen and this is a CHEMICAL combination.

A nuclear weapon uses plutonium and is a FUSION (nuclear!) reaction. They are NOT the same at all.
