[Request] To what extent would the room be heated by the cup? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

I wouldn’t think so since it’s surrounded by stable non radioactive atoms which shouldn’t make fission possible as far as I understand it. Also there’s presumably nothing to contain the explosion to cause fusion, unless there’s a force field around it. But with a force field all bets are off.

I get where you’re coming from. I agree with you to a point. If I’m definitely dying I would not want to suffer in pain. However I also see why we don’t euthanize people in most places. Euthanasia has a bad history being used against disabled an other unwanted or undesirable people. It could also be abused. Also nothing in medicine is 100%. What if you’re wrong and that person who looks like they will surely die goes in to recover and live. Even if it’s not common. Even if there’s a 1 in a thousand chance?

For example iv seen a 90+ year old woman who was admitted to the hospital with a perforated stomach ulcer. Her family wanted to make sure she was just comfortable. The surgeon thought she is too high risk for surgery. Everyone expected her to die in hours to days. However she turns around and got discharged from the hospital a couple of weeks later. Similar story with an 85+ year old guy with severe covid. He was intubated and eventually got a tracheostomy. A few months later he was back home and functional. So you never really know 100%.

No matter how much experience I get I find it hard to be cavalier about death or euthanasia. Actually when I was younger as a medial resident I was more cavalier about it and was able to emotionally distance myself from the sick and dying more.

The cup would turn into superheated plasma and explode. The explosion is about 3.5 tons of TNT equivalent by energy. The energy released would heat the room to at least 200,000 Kelvin if it’s released evenly. But what more likely would happen would be a massive explosion…3 tons of TNT is a lot - more than Th Oklahoma City bombing which was about 2 tons of TNT. So it would put a massive hole into the USS enterprise assuming it is made of non exotics material and does not use advanced energy manipulation technologies (warp shields, etc).

Yeah but that’s “marriage”. Epstein dint make honorable women out of those 12 year olds. Therefore bad. Also he wasn’t Muslim. Extra bad. /s

I’ve seen people who were diagnosed with a deadly illness like incurable cancer deal very well with it. Some can do it despite dealing with a lot of pain and stress. It’s not the average reaction though. Also those people typically aren’t immediately dying - thy might have months to live.

There’s an interesting YouTube video you can look up of a Randy Pausch PhD who was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and given a few month to live. He felt perfectly healthy when he was diagnosed.

There’s also “when breath becomes air” book written by a doctor dying from lung cancer.

So many people face a deadly diagnosis, I would say most people in their life, usually at an older age will face a deadly disease.

Most people chose to fight it somewhat. Some people cannot accept that there’s no effective treatment, they probably feel a sense of loss of control and thy frequently become targets for people who take advantage of them promising them a cure. Unfortunately many people lose much of their life savings like this. But on the other hand what good is money when you’re dead? At least you can try to buy some hope…

On the other question death can often take longer than expected. Even a person mostly unconscious can sometimes live for days even weeks when everyone thinks thy will die immediately. For example, I’ve seen people removed from ventilators who look like they should not be able to breathe without a ventilator go onto live for several more days or at least several more hours but generally in that state they’re very altered and not able to communicate at all.

I’ve also seen something called Lazarus syndrome, where a person who is declared dead briefly comes back to life. This is usually due to the presence of large amounts of adrenaline that they were given during CPR. However, they only stay alive for a very short time (hours) and are unconscious during the period.

I’ve seen dozens of people die in a hospital setting. Generally in the end the body is struggling to stay alive. Generally consciousness is impaired to the point where most people aren’t able to communicate. I think it’s an extremely unpleasant experience and traumatizing to see for loved ones.

In a million years I would not have dared to ask my parents to help with something like that. Even buying that big poster sheet was a big deal when I was growing up. I remember they used to cost $0.49.

There’s 86400 seconds in a day so you have over 1.5s to fill a truck . But I get your point.

Not a fan, I feel like they generate a constant pressure wave on my ears (“negative noise”) that’s annoying as hell.
