What does a simple high-energy implosion do to a body? What about if you chase that with thousands of pounds of freezing-cold water from literally all directions? Does that make it more or less destructive? I don't know!
- Doxin 3y agoThere's some absolutely ridiculous forces involved here. "And then they turned into physics" is probably the only respectful way to phrase things. > What does a simple high-energy implosion do to a body? Turn it into a paste at best. Get the fire piston effect calculated in and it's an incinerated paste. > What about if you chase that with thousands of pounds of freezing-cold water from literally all directions? Does that make it more or less destructive? insofar as everything isn't already destroyed, this would make it a order of magnitude more destructive. Water hammer will get everything up to absolutely ridiculous pressures and temperatures. At this point you're basically as close as you can get to atomizing a person.

Remains to be seen how destructive it actually was but we can probably rule out mist or ash, at least, based on this news.
- Doxin 3y agoOh, that's surprising. But given that they say it's "presumed" remains it's probably a safe bet it's not anything remotely resembling human-shaped anymore.
