[edit] suprisingly little

considering this is the material that was used in the Little boy bomb, it carries quite a historical notoriety... the page seems quite small all things considered. surely there is someone who can elaborate?

Could you be more specific? A lot is in the linked related articles like Little Boy, Manhattan Project, Nuclear weapons design, Uranium, Uranium enrichment etc. --JWB 18:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

What is known about the 5% of the fission energy of 235 going off as neutrinos? That would be a large mass-conversion into neutrino's and produce humongous numbers, most of which would pass through the earth. Seems thermodynamically inefficent as there would be effectively (almost) 0% energy capture/remass conversion. Where does all that momentum go? My guess is a topologic displacement. Sounds symmetry breaking.209.101.236.168 (talk) 07:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
