61. Pardon Me, But this Begs another Question ( although related to my original premise)
Edited on Sun Sep-09-07 12:37 AM by Wiley50
OK

"The bomb must have some way of selecting how much fusion fuel gets injected into the fusion chamber just before the fission bomb goes off."

An Atomic detonation, by definition, is a situation violent enough that the very atomic structure is in flux, protons, electrons and neutrons go flying, changing one element into another and creating new elements not found in nature.

So how could any humanly manufactured "fusion chamber" define which parts of available primary substances (fusion fuel) are able to become part of the reaction? How could this possibly be?

I mean, any element in the vicinity is, again by definition, in atomic flux.


on edit (in a nervous attempt at humor): I think we are about to be atomically Fucked.
