A creeper is a fictional creature in the sandbox video game Minecraft.Creepers are hostile mobs (mobile non-player characters) that spawn in dark places.Instead of attacking the player directly, they creep up on the player and explode, destroying blocks in the surrounding area and potentially hurting or killing the player if they are within the blast radius.
The pipipi (Māori: pīpipi; [2] Mohoua novaeseelandiae), also known as brown creeper, New Zealand creeper or New Zealand titmouse, [3] is a small passerine bird endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. They are specialist insectivores, gleaning insects from branches and leaves. They have strong legs and toes for hanging upside down while ...
A lean flashover (sometimes called rollover) is the ignition of the gas layer under the ceiling, leading to total involvement of the compartment.The air–fuel ratio is at the bottom region of the flammability range (i.e. lean).
Creeper was an experimental computer program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971. [2] Its original iteration was designed to move between DEC PDP-10 mainframe computers running the TENEX operating system using the ARPANET , with a later version by Ray Tomlinson designed to copy itself between computers rather than simply move.

The Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба, romanized: Tsar'-bomba, IPA: [t͡sarʲ ˈbombə], lit. ' Tsar bomb '; code name: Ivan [5] or Vanya), also known by the alphanumerical designation "AN602", was a thermonuclear aerial bomb, and the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
The damage that an underwater explosion inflicts on a submarine comes from a primary and a secondary shock wave. The primary shock wave is the initial shock wave of the depth charge, and will cause damage to personnel and equipment inside the submarine if detonated close enough.
The opposite of explosion (which expands the volume), implosion reduces the volume occupied and concentrates matter and energy. Implosion involves a difference between internal (lower) and external (higher) pressure, or inward and outward forces, that is so large that the structure collapses inward into itself, or into the space it occupied if ...
Blast walls perform best if the explosion is relatively close to the front of the wall [1] "Canopied" walls (with a top section overhanging the front face) show some improved blast protection over plane walls; A 90-degree canopy is more effective than a 45-degree one [2] Walls containing sand or water work well, and cause little damage if they fail
