What makes nuclear explosions so destructive?

What makes nuclear explosions so destructive?

1) The particle radiation is higher energetic than photon radiation. 

The effect of the nuclear explosion is so destructive because the main part of the energy is erupting in the form of electron and helium ions, which makes the heatwave different than normal fire. The alpha and beta particles would heat the layers with a very high energy layer, and the thing is that the alpha radiation, what is the nucleus of helium or some other gas would transfer more energy to the layer than a photon. 

And the electron or cathode radiation is crushing the DNA, and the mass of the electron is also higher than the mass of the photon, which makes it higher energetic than the photon ever could be. So one of the reasons, why the nuclear explosion is so devastating is the particle radiation. But there is one other thing, what makes the nuclear explosion even more dangerous, and brings the most horrifying images in my mind. 

2) That thing is the shockwave, which has given the idea for the quantum cannon. 

When the nuclear explosion happens the atoms of the atmosphere would travel away from the nuclear explosion with the speed, which is the same as the nuclear chain reaction. And in some visions, the nuclear explosive would equip with the nanotubes, where is the air molecules. 

If the nuclear fission or fusion would happen in the middle of the nuclear material, that thing would push the air molecules away with extremely high speed. The reason for the destructive power of the shockwave is that the high-speed air molecules are forming the chains. They are acting like the pearls in the necklace, which means that they would create one large entirety. When that quantum chain would hit to the target, the energy of that impact would be higher, than any normal hit of the atom or molecule. 

2.1) Quantum cannon

The idea of quantum cannon is that this system shoots the atom rows to the target. Those atom or ion rows are similar to quantum wires. That thing will increase the energy of the particles when they hit to target. 

The thing is that the same technology, what is used in the quantum wires can be used in the quantum chains, which can be shoot to the target. That kind of system would be called the quantum ion cannon. In the quantum cannon kind of, the atoms would put in the chains or rows, where the first and the last atoms are replaced by using the ion. 

Then the first ion would be acting like a locomotive, and the last ion would make the row of the atoms be in the chain. The magnetic accelerator would accelerate this quantum arrow to the very high speed, and when it will hit the target, the energy that it transfers is extremely high. So that kind of thing might be the weapon system of tomorrow.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
