Even if it had been an atom it wouldn't have done anything. Even splitting an atom of U-235 releases only 3.38x10^-11 Joules of energy, for comparison it takes 4.18 Joules to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
come on don't down vote, do the calculations, 70416670000 grams of water= 70417 tons of water will be heated up to one degree, supppse there's just one ton of water, won't it boil and turn to steam? science side please help
Science Side: Science side to the resc--
Math Side: HOLD UP JUST A MINUTE!
Science Side: wha-
Math Side: That there! You see that?
Science Side: What are you talking about!?
Math Side: That, that there's a negative sign. See it? "...splitting an atom of U-235 releases only 3.38x10^-11 Joules of energy" That's 10^-11. Negative. As in, .0000000000338 Joules, NOT 338,000,000,000 Joules as our confused guest has concluded.
Science Side: So the guest is off by 22 orders of magnitude?
Math Side: You got that right! The amount of energy isn't enough to boil a nanogram of water, let alone the entire ocean. Remember kids, don't forget your negatives!
Science Side: Wow, way to steal the show.
THE END!
