Mind Boggling Biggest Explosions Ever!

Stressed out? Well, if you ever want a great technique for alleviating stress and worry, one that I use often, just read stuff like the following in this link. It illustrates just how small and insignificant we are in compared to the Universe and all that goes on in it.

Be sure to take some time to read the list slowly and carefully. Not the distance and the sheer magnitudes if the explosions near the end....Like the Gamma Ray bursts that occur billions of light years away. Billions, with a B! Light Years. As in...Taking longer while travelling at light speed than the entire she of the Earth.

This is truly mind bending stuff! Enjoy! And please give your thoughts. Thanks.

Note: the Big Bang is thought to have happened based upon various astronomical observations. It should not be in the list, but you know how these 'List' people are.

Was the KT impact the largest terrestrial explosion, or would that be the impact that created the Moon?

I tend to tinker with electronics and do some coding when I really need an escape from stress and everything else.

You need to read the link. It is fascinating. The sheer magnitude involved. Like the KT one being something along the lines of one trillion atomic bombs going off every second for millions of years! Wow. Just stop and let that sink in

Indeed. Ahem...I guess being a Premium Member (holds hands up, wiggles fingers in mick fear, and makes a "woooo" sound) give you the right to troll?
Do you not ever weary of it?

I earned my right to troll long before a generous fellow
poster bestowed the Premium Member gift upon me.

Thanks for sharing that, Wu. I was not familiar with the Halifax munitions ship explosion. The link said the shockwave was felt 50 miles away! Wow. That's impressive for a non nuke explosion.

If you ever find the book (not the one that adds a bit if historical fiction) you should read it. I was absolutely amazed at how the explosion basically blew outward with the force it created going out, created a vacuum causing much of the debris to be sucked back towards the harbor

I also don't think that a quasar is an explosion. Its not comparable to an explosion in magnitude or in its physical process.

Some good fireworks displays. Lots of good science principles involved..
