Yes, yes YES we know, atomic fission doesn’t work that way. This isn’t reddit, people in Lemmy can like, read and stuff. Everyone put the charts away unless someone raises their hand.

Splitting a heavy U-235 atom, given perfect conversion to electricity, could power a 1 Watt nightlight for around 7.5x10^-13 seconds
Much easier to split many
This was just the question I wanted answered
One could say I gave you what you Watt-ed.
Yes, hello Physicists, how do I put someone else’s comment in the collider?
They’re fighting over an atom, they’re probably not that big
Life is unfair.
Maybe they had trouble hitting that atom, and decided to surround with many other U-235 atom before trying the split
How many tons of TNT is that?
Around 7.66 x10-3 nanograms
That’s forever in Planck time
Lol I saw the nuke first and was like: wtf, then I read the rest of it and I lol’ed.
Since we’re nitpicking the atom thing, also Solomon didn’t split anything. He said cut the baby in half to see the reaction of the women to find out who the true mother was.
And even if his method wasn’t actually great for establishing that, it certainly unmasked one woman as a psycho who was unfit to be in society, let alone care for a child
If you don’t know the story, two women were arguing over which one was the real mother of a baby. Solomon said, “OK, I’ll cut it in half. Everybody happy?”
One woman was like, fine, do it. The other went to screeching. Solomon concluded the second woman was the real mother.
And that’s where the term “nuclear option” came from!
up and at them!
