I'll throw my hat in the ring for some kind of strange form of Inertial cavitation implosion but on a much larger and explosive scale

>As of 2016, no cure or treatment has yet been found for FFI.
>It has been proven that sleeping pills[clarification needed] and barbiturates are unhelpful; on the contrary, in 74% of cases, they have been shown to worsen the clinical manifestations and hasten the course of the disease.[12][disputed – discuss]
>in a bid to provide temporary relief in the later stages of the disease, physicians induced a coma with the use of sedatives, to no avail as his brain still failed to shut down completely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion

>Prions may propagate by transmitting their misfolded protein state: When a prion enters a healthy organism, it induces existing, properly folded proteins to convert into the misfolded prion form. In this way, the prion acts as a template to guide the misfolding of more proteins into prion form.

>All known prion diseases in mammals affect the structure of the brain or other neural tissue; all are currently untreatable and universally fatal.

I like to think I'm know a fair amount about physics but that kind of math is a bit beyond me tbh.

Thanks, I might be doing some transformation optics soon so this could be useful.
