Sooo, here's the odd quesiton:
What's the biggest possible explosion that humanity could create using our current technology?
Let's assume that for whatever reason
every country in the world decided
to work together and contribute all of
their resources to producing this enormous explosion. If that's the case,
then what really is the biggest explosion possible?
For a little context of what's about to come,
it's important to realize the scale of the largest explosions humanity has
created so far.
The biggest of these explosions ever, before the invention of nuclear bombs was the Halifax Explosion;
an accident that occurred when a French munitions ship collided
with another ship that caused it to explode in the harbor of Halifax, Canada.
The resulting explosion was equal to 2.9 kilotons of TNT, which obliterated everything within an 800 meter radius of the blast
and shattered nearly every window in the city.
But humans have created an even larger non-nuclear explosion since then when the United States
conducted a test called "Minor Scale" back in 1985.
It was an experiment intended to simulate a nuclear bomb
using only conventional explosives
and it achieved an explosion of 2.4 kilotons of TNT.
Placed over New York City, the destructive power
of such a device appears more obvious.
