by definition, an explosion is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, not its containment.

>>11427321
easy

>>11427336
Imagine being a fuckwit who knows exactly what is meant but chooses to be a pedant instead.

>>11427321
Use a box built from nuclear pasta.
/thread

>>11427321
Does the "explosion" originate from within the space it needs to be contained in?

>>11427321
Just drop the object exploding into a black hole

>>11427413
How else would it work?

>>11427422
It's not specified, which is why I'm asking
Maybe you want the explosion to be in a specific 1x1x1 meter cube that is not within the explosion's initial chain reaction origin point in space.

>>11427321
Use 100 1000 megaton explosions going off at the same time surrounding the 1 megaton explosion.

>>11427321

Make the box out of some really thick strong metal. Bury it reaaaaally deep underground essentially making a billion tons of earth the walls.

>>11427321

Anti nuclear explosion magnets. Very strong ones. With containment parameters set to 1m3.

Can I get banned again for 'You were banned from all boards for the following reason:
Responding to off-topic garbage." again? Please! I love getting banned. It makes me drool. Long thick ropey lengths of drool.

>>11427353
Exactly what I thought.

Why is it that regardless of topic or forum, there is always at least one fuckwit that just has to post their fuckwittedness? Always. No exceptions. Just a few minutes ago I was on the Paradox forums looking up the effects of using nukes in HOI3. An OP asked "Do nukes damage armies?" One of the first posters was this fuckwit who said "I never use nukes". Literally, just what the fuck was the point of that post? Fuckwits, man, they live in some sort of parallel alternative reality.

There must be some law to describe this phenomena.

>>11427344

>>11427431
Any metal would be vaporized and leave a giant cavity.

line with pure neutrons mined from a neutrons star

A box made from solar panel batteries.
Just wait a few more years. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH

a box made from passports.

Literal quantum entangled pairs with their wave functions being collapsed at the same speed of the nuclear blast, thereby neutralizing the blast. You could shape the quantum pairs to be the size of a 1m3 box, yes, with not too much complicated engineering.

>>11427321
Surround the explosion with a wormhole.

Surround it with dark energy. It will absorb the blast so we can't see it

>>11427321
With a deposit of inflatons that are created by the explosion and expand the space within that 1x1x1 cube until the energy is dissipated.

>>11427321
very hard wood?

>>11427505
can't be vaporized if it has no place to go

>>11427571
>inflatons
is this how low "theoretical" physics has fallen?

>>11427533
More like surround it with solar panels and mount large fans to those panels. The harder it explodes the more power it produces pushing harder against it with the fans. Easy as that

>>11427321
don't know how you'd do it, but if your box had translucent walls you could charge to see it, for sure

>>11427451
never go to stackexchange, then. it’s fuckwit central.

doesnt seem possible, perhaps a large thin physical barrier with special properties and a large enough external force to contain the explosion in a fixed area

a tokamak with big magnets

>>11427321
Diamond box. Also magnets.

>>11430203
Bro, do some research on heavy elements.
The crust of a neutron star is completely indestructible because it is just that dense. 1 cubic cm is worth the weight of 1 mountain.
Its inner layers are even denser

>>11427321
Black hole

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik6Vq2076YQ

Pulse electromagnetic fields with plasma, only the plasma actually helps because it blocks radiation, which is important in this scenario.

Self re enforcing anti matter and matter plasma shield might also work if a nuclear bomb is not enough to make the shied go critical

i surround it with 1000 1000 megaton nukes obviously.

>>11427321
mini black hole in the box

You sure showed him

>>11430317
Not enough lmao

>>11430522
Checked

>>11427580
they're literally imagining things, yes

>>11430522
?
I'm sorry, is there something wrong with what I said?
The only thing that could destroy a neutron matter is another neutron matter that collided with it at great speed/mass (but not to the point of collapsing into a blackhole)

Easy, a very strong box made out of nukes.
The increase in volume from the inner nuke would just be cancelled out by the outer nukes.

>>11430578
You're so fucking airheaded god I already lost just replying to you.

Go ahead and tell me how you intend on making a box out of indestructible material.

A steel box 1m3 with 30 foot thick walls

I would make the box out of Nokia 3310s.

EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

>>11430638
> using whatever technology you can come up with
I don't know either

since yall is too dum to suggest this: build a box out of antimatter

>>11430638
>using whatever technology you can come up with
That's easy.
Shatter a neutron star by colliding them with each other then just reassemble the pieces as you wanted.

OP wanted a 1x1x1 meter cube.
1cm of neutron matter is around 100000000000 tons
1 cubic meter =1000000 cubic cm
The resulting box would be less than the weight of the Earth - an easy feat for a K3 civilization.

The hard part is if the collision caused strange matter.

>>11427321
If by "cube" you just mean the space it needs to be contained at I would play with the environment of the space. Temperature, pressure and ex...

>>11427321
Surround the region where the explosion originates with a thin shell of neutronium which, when it collapses, causes a 1 megaton explosion inward.

>>11427321
Put it on a neutron star.

>>11431556
>bro just use pieces of a neutron star
>its so dense
>its so dense because of the neutron stars self gravitation
>bro just break off a chunk, it will remain as dense as before
>>11430638

>>11431659
Well, ok, smart guy.
Just punch a 1x1x1 meter hole inside a neutron star via antimatter then place the nuke.

How big of a difference would it be if the chunk of a neutron star was removed?

>>11431687
That on the other hand could work.

>>11431659
Neutronium should remain relatively stable even when outside of the neutron star though I guess you could bombard it with protons and start to degrade it

>>11427321
I boom even bigger explosions in the other directions to oppose the force of the original BOOM

>>11427430
quantum kek

>>11427321
redefine the metre

>>11431718
>Neutronium should remain relatively stable even when outside of the neutron star
What's holding all the neutrons tightly together absent the high gravity of a neutron star?

>>11431961
a firm grip

>>11427321
I set off an antimatter version of the same nuke inside the same box. The explosion and antiexplosion cancel each other out, except for a pattern of constructive interference, which is however much weaker and can be contained with a thick layer of steel.

>>11427321
One giant cube-shaped carbon molecule constructed with sheets of hexagonal "bucky" formations.

>>11427321
I make the cube out of magnetic material. Contain the blast using electromagnetic fuckery.

>>11432180
Congratulations. You have succeeded in blowing up half the solar system.

Just drop that shit into the sun lol. No problems

>>11427321
Put in a box with nuclear shaped charges all around going inward timed so they cancel out.

>>11427321
Box where the inside is all mirrors.

>>11432180
Antimatter does not work like that, you idiot.
Antimatter RELEASES energy and therefore results into an explosion as well when made contact with matter.

The opposite of explosion is implosion.

>>11432231
>The opposite of explosion is implosion.
Wait. Say that again.

>>11432239
No

>>11427552
How is that meant to affect anything?
Wavefunction collapse is just you making a measurement.

>>11427321
Raise the temperature of the surroundings to a temperature only slightly lower than that of a nuclear explosion. Probably sending it into the sun is a practical implementation.

>>11427437
When did you get that? I got one a few days ago.

>>11432245
Okay, fine, but you gave me the idea. I create a gravity well inside the box!

f=ma
so a lotta M

>>11432231
Just pile in negative mass matter

>>11427321
>using whatever technology you can come up with
I would shrink the explosion with my shrink ray that shrinks space itself. It would still be 1 megaton, just proportionally smaller.

>>11432262
>>11432259
>tfw these are practically the same idea
Get a room you two.

>>11432259
Gravity is the result of matter/energy pilling up on each other
Gravity Well is only possible if you have something that holds equal energy and density

I always look at these threads completely uncomfortable with the question of whether you guys are trolling or serious

I do not have that much IQ but I am confident it does not work that way. Am I retarded or am I surrounded by retards?

I would shoot it with my reduces 1 megaton nuclear explosions to 1x1x1 meter, ray gun.
gg ez

>>11432289
While this is true, the vectors of an implosive gravity well against the nuke explosion will cancel out with sufficient energy.

>>11432359
You don't get it, nigga
What I mean, is that, if you want to produce enough gravity that could contain the explosion of the nuke, you would need to detonate that shit on the surface of a neutron star.

You cannot produce gravity out of nothing, that violates all 3 laws

>>11432359
>tfw /sci/ thinks it can use energy to destroy energy
This is how much of a brainlet you sound like right now.
*pic related*

>>11432366
>out of nothing
Who said I wasn't generating gravity waves through a different means?
>use energy to destroy energy
Yes.

>>11432373
Do you even know what a gravity wave is?
Gravity wave and gravity are like water and stone.

>>11432380
Do you even know what 4chan is?
Shitposting and 4chan are like water and stone.

>>11432368
Nah, he does not mean it that way.
He is just saying about enough energy to make the explosion self-contained, which is technically possible since E=mc^2. The universe cannot differ between mass and energy and both can create their own gravitational fields
Energy that became self-contained to the point of becoming a blackhole is called a Kugelblitz

Well, I hope that's what he meant

>>11432380
>Gravity wave and gravity are like water and stone.
Both made of atoms?

>>11432385

Explosions are an increase in air temperature due to a rapid increase in infrared radiation, creating an increase in air pressure. If you remove the air, then the air doesn't expand. Therefore, you would have to perform the reaction in a vacuum sealed chamber.

>>11433379
so what exactly would be exploding?

>>11430386

>>11427321
Explode 6 nukes around it

>>11427321
Inner dimensions of the cube have to be 1x1x1m?
I would make a cube with inner dimensions of 1x1x1m and walls 700,000 light years thick made of any material. it would be contained. I choose cotton wool.

>>11435304
You idiot.
The cube is where the explosion has to be CONTAINED
No matter how thick the walls, they are just shock absorbers
The nuke would vaporize a radius of 50km of your cotton wall+fire

>>11435326
I used a 1x1x1m cube to contain the blast though yes? the original post does not say "within" a 1x1x1m cube, just "in". A cube must have some outer dimension? My 1x1x1m cube has quite large outer dimensions, yes but it has contained the blast let off "in" it.

>>11435339
If, and only if, your wall managed to keep itself whole.

You never specified what it is made off so I assumed it's also cotton. A wall of cotton

>>11431718
It will decay instantly you mong. If you just teleported a 1cm thick box shaped amount of material from a neutron star around the explosion, the "neutronium" (hypothetical) would emit more energy than the bomb.

>>11435344
Specifically cotton wool as stated originally.

>>11435348
Vaporized you are indeed

>>11435347
Won't a decayed neutronium be just like depleted uranium that is a bit radioactive but still dense enough that we use them on AP rounds?

The energy would be emitted but the dense wall is all that's needed

>>11435347
You need to freeze it down first into a solid block, then you can use it

>>11435350
I don't dispute that a large amount of material would be destroyed but I allowed a quite large margin of error in specifying a structure 1.4 million light years + 1m wide. I Don't think a megaton explosion could destroy a structure 14 times the width of our galaxy.
Therefore: the explosion is contained.
Using cotton wool.

>>11435359
Might as well detonate the nuke on the atmosphere and say the explosion was contained by a wall of air

>>11435364
You would not have created a 1x1x1m cube though would you and no structure within which the energy from the explosion was contained, both of which I did.

>>11432215

Contain it in a box of unmeltable steel beams

>>11435354
No. Depleted uranium is depleted because it lightened up enough to be stable. Neutronium has a LOT of mass to let go before it becomes stable outside the gravity well of a neutron star. It would most certainly detonate like a bomb.

>>11435357
No. Low temperature doesn't stop decay until you hit abs 0, which is impossible.

>I'm posting in a troll/brainlet thread again...

>>11427321
lmao dude just pour concrete on it

ezpz.
Also, I know that at an extremely high explosion strength, obsidian blocks will indeed break (or atleast used to) in which case you can just switch to bedrock.

throw the bomb into a black hole with a diameter of 1m

>>11436052
Yeah, except neutronium would release its energy via radiation for eons. No way it would explode.
It's a giant neutron, not some pressurized air.

>>11427321
It will implode and contain itself, you just have to be patient ;^)

>>11437497
Holy shit you're so retarded. Please read a book.

I wonder what would that fireball taste like if you could taste it.

>>11427321
Planet made of titanium with ball with radius of half meter in the middle for explosion, titanium having thin tuboid structure whitin it filled with liquid hydrogen.

Maybe walls could be out of calcium oxide or similar structure with titanium oxide coating. Well cooled by heatpipes.

>>11427321
Not allowing explosion, just put substance for radiactive heat generation without reach of critical, therefore harvesting power of explosion for longer period trought time.

I don't know why nuclear explosions, when there's cold fusion. It's much better eco technical source for generating elektricity than old school uranium, when it comes to nuclear.

>>11427321
For not meter x meter but something large, but to "safe" population from nuclear blast, best approach would be to develop some sort of foam, as is probably on the picture...

But I doubt it fits meter*meter.

I think something that remains elastic under high temperature would be sufficient, therefore I would just put layers of sand between titanium plates... Maybe some special pyro sand if available, if titanium not available, then just wet sand between layers of steel will do it's job quite well.

Shape can be constructed in a way, that any hole in layer would build opposite reaction on escaping force ... It must be really convex ... like outwards shapped material, so it will reflect it to the inside, but must be really full of wet sand,

>>11427321
Building a torus inside of that cube, made of titanium having shape of tesla's valve... or maybe something softer that will put pressure on one side so all the force will end up in the circular motion of plasma.

i would find a really big guy that punches hard and have him punch the explosion away. simple as

>>11427321
place the bomb inside a diamond cube

>>11427321
I suppose first have the explosion device suspended in a vacuum so there's not much air to heat and pressurize, then an interior wall of a super insulator like aerogel, then an exterior shell of a super conductor like boron arsenide, then put some wicked heat fins on the exterior walls and super cool them with near light speed "water"falls of liquid hydrogen whisking the heat away so it's dissipated before it gets a chance to melt the walls.

Idk, I think you could actually do the math to see what kind of heat transfer is required to whisk away 100,000,000°C in less than a second but I'm too busy watching TV and eating chips

>>11427321
nuclear explosions don't exist.
So what you ask is impossible.

the cube is made of a cube shaped nuclear bomb,

so when your bomb goes of inside it, the cube blows up also, effectively keeping your explosion inside.

>>11427344
You should flip that box upside down. The flaps will blow open, and the force of the explosion will propel you skyward at 5000 meters a second. With the flaps pressed to the surface of the ground, the explosion has nowhere to go, and you'll be left relatively unscathed.

>>11441665
Or the exact opposite can happen. The flaps facing upward will just blow open, and the explosion will rush by him, leaving him a charred, though alive, blinking skeleton. With the flaps facing down, the explosion will propel the box upward into space, carrying him and his box all the way to the moon.

>>11440201
Was about to write exactly the same thing. The problem is so easy to solve that way.
