If all goes well, the resulting reaction will be hotter than the center of the sun (more than 100 million degrees Celsius) and will exert more pressure than 100 billion atmospheres.
Wonder what this heat/pressure increase will do inside a "non descript office building"?
I would think it would F things up pretty bad.
That said, it sounds pretty freaking cool.

Back when Oppenheimer & Co. were building the bomb, some theorized that a nuclear reaction would go out of control or destroy the atmosphere or some such. Obviously they were wrong. At some point those worried scientists will be right, and it will only take once. :runaway:
