Citizen: A solid pink sphere
◊ doesn't really do it for me. The fold bomb/Dimension Eater
◊ from Macross Frontier looks significantly cooler. Any takers?
Seth: The macross one is a much better picture.
Sorta-real-world-plausible example: plasma-yield ordnance in Dale Brown's novels, first appearing in 'Battle Born'. Explicitly stated (and shown) to have this very effect.
Thermal detonators... at least, according to the old (West End Games) Star Wars RPG, with specific reference to the Imperial Sourcebook... do this too.
Mike: Cut the following:
- In Enders Game, the weapon "Dr. Device" would completely scatter the molecules of whatever it touched. The more things it touched, the larger it got... At the end of the novel, Ender fires it at the Buggers' home planet, causing the whole thing to be destroyed.
- Tsar Bomba
was the largest nuclear payload ever detonated, and created a spherical fireball 8 kilometers in diameter.
