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?

most good scifi sucks, but are spot on on an esoteric level and mainstream has a bias on energy, mechanic, military and esoteric knowlegde

1-second-lived black hole has a mass of 2.28 × 105 kg, equivalent to an energy of 2.05 × 1022 J that could be released by 5 × 106 megatons of TNT. The initial power is 6.84 × 1021 W.

-citation needed.

So yes plausible. The black hole would burn much faster than one like the one above that weighed close 250 tons. You wouldn't need much tungsten obviously.

Like a Quantum Torpedo in startrek?
