With implosion (bottom), the object collapses upon itself (generally being crushed by an outside force). Implosion is the collapse of an object into itself from a pressure differential or gravitational force. The opposite of explosion (which expands the volume), implosion reduces the volume occupied and concentrates matter and energy. Implosion ...
The recoil from this surface layer ejection produces pressures which are an order of magnitude stronger than the simple radiation pressure. The so-called radiation implosion in thermonuclear weapons is therefore thought to be a radiation-powered ablation-drive implosion.
The information explosion is the rapid increase in the amount of published information or data and the effects of this abundance. [1] As the amount of available data grows, the problem of managing the information becomes more difficult, which can lead to information overload.
A U.S. Navy analysis of acoustic data “detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion” near the Titan around the time it lost communications Sunday, a senior Navy official said.
In the case of a massive star's sudden implosion, the core of a massive star will undergo sudden collapse once it is unable to produce sufficient energy from fusion to counteract the star's own gravity, which must happen once the star begins fusing iron, but may happen during an earlier stage of metal fusion.
The Titan submersible was so deep that the forces crushing it would have been equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower.
Thankfully a human wouldn't even feel it, it would happen so fast, so no amount of suffering would occur. The deconstruction of this incident will reveal exactly what failed, but we just need time."
A cataclysmic implosion of the core takes place within seconds. Without the support of the now-imploded inner core, the outer core collapses inwards under gravity and reaches a velocity of up to 23% of the speed of light , and the sudden compression increases the temperature of the inner core to up to 100 billion kelvins .
