As I've learned more, the energy from a single atom is not much. They split nitrogen long before uranium but it didn't really matter. You need the chain reaction of uranium.

From Gemini:

The energy released from a single uranium atom splitting is an infinitesimally tiny fraction of what's needed to even warm a mug of water. You would need the simultaneous fission of approximately 1.96 quadrillion (1,960,000,000,000,000) uranium atoms to heat a single mug of water.

*JFC what's up with the downvotes? Because I used Gemini?

I'm not downvoting you, but I think a lot of people, including me, would read "from Gemini" (or any AI) as "you can't trust this information".

For me, whenever anyone includes AI generated crap in their comment, I think three things:

  1. Great, I now need to fact check this because you can't trust AI
  2. If I wanted AI generated crap, I'd go get it myself
  3. The commenter couldn't even* be bothered to actually author their comment, this is the lowest of low effort content, and is definitionally deserving of a downvote

ChatGPT will straight up hallucinate numbers (or any information). Gemini is much more accurate. Haven't tried others.

They all do it.
