In a type Ia Supernova, the carbon accumulated in the earlier stages of a stars death fissues to create even heavier elements. Could this be used by humans aswell? Is it theoretically possible to build a Carbon Bomb?
This thread explains a bit about it; I guess these pressure values cannot even be achieved with a Hydrogen Bomb as a fuse? In turn, could it be used for commercial reasons (in the far future, e.g. as spacecraft engine?)
Does anyone know further reference?
How much damage would such a bomb deal? (approximate scale of course, would it destroy our entire planet or just scratch my nose)
