When an atom fissions, it releases a teeny tiny amount of energy ( The decay of one atom of uranium-235 releases about 200MeV or about 3*10-11J.). But atoms are quite small. An atom does not make a big explosion when it splits.
To get a big explosion, you need to split lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of them—many, many trillions of them.
Each one releases only a teeny amount of energy, but when you add up the teeny amount of energy from trillions and trillions and trillions of atoms, then you get a big explosion. (The explosion of 1kg of TNT releases 4MJ).
There’s probably some kid in a third world country in a slum somewhere that could understand theoretical physics enough to create stable worm holes but will never get his chance because he was born poor and will forever stay poor.

Hello, could you please help to spread awarness about the persecution its suffering Catholic Church in Nicaragua for helping the people that has been protesting since last year against the narco-communist regime of Daniel Ortega? They are about to kill priest Roman in Masaya city (they are under siege since last thursday with no water/electricity or any aid) and now the cathedral and 3 more parishes. The communist goons has profaned the cathedral and hit a priest just today. Pray for us urgently
HAVANA TIMES – A group of citizens trapped within the San Miguel Archangel Church in Masaya, Nicaragua, currently find themselves dehydrated and with no food. Father Edwin Roman, who suffers from diabetes, has been suffering from fierce headaches due to the lack of food and insulin he needs to control his blood sugar levels.
The Ortega regime’s police have maintained a siege of the church for three straight days, with a police cordon that has closed off a perimeter of 300 meters around the Catholic church. Electricity and running water were cut off, by government order. Within the church, the priest is accompanying ten mothers of political prisoners and one female protestor who are on a hunger strike. They’re also accompanied by two released political prisoners, a human rights advocate and one employee of the church.
