Scifi writer here, and just wondering about a possible bomb design.

Want a big blast with no radioactive fallout. I call the idea the Hawking bomb.

A sphere of Tungsten metal is enclosed in a negative space pocket that is then allowed to compress into quantum foam, which crushes the sphere below its Schwarzschild radius, then ejected from it's negative space pocket back into the real world.

Very small masses should evaporate very quickly if they've been turned into a black hole and black holes convert mass into energy with 100% efficiency, so the idea is that the Hawking bomb will absorb zero-point energy from spacetime and emit so much Hawking radiation so fast that it will be, in effect, an explosion.

Practical/possible?

STOP. ASKING. WHY.

Homosexuality has been observed in every animal kingdom we check out. Turns out a diverse community of sexual identities is beneficial in some way to species. Why? Who knows. We don't worry about why. You can ask why forever.
