Question ? --> ? Thread

Let's waste some cyber space where you have to answer a Question with a Question like :

1st : How's this relevant to this forum ?
2nd : Why should it be ?

So here goes....

If you were to explode and implode in the same moment, would there be any mess to clean up ?

Is there ever a time when there is NOT a mess to clean up?

Does implosion imply there wouldn't be any clean up? I just imagine a neat pile of human.

What about ego collapse (implosion) and an expansion of consciousness (explosion?) What would Scotty say to Capt Kirk? (Since he's on the cleanup patrol)

The question would be, how is this physically possible?

Perhaps there is a special vacuum cleaner out there with two hoses/pipes. One sucks air in. The other blows air out. Let's say this vacuum cleaner is so powerful it causes an implosion that exerts negative air pressure omnidirectionally and uniformly in all directions by sucking air in through one pipe. It is also capable of causing an equally powerful explosion in the other pipe, again exerting positive air pressure omnidirectionally and uniformly in all directions.

In addition, the technology is so good that the two opposing forces created by the implosion and explosion do not counteract the other, even if the ends of the two pipes are adjacent to the other!!!!

Instead, when the two pipes are close together, they shatter the matter in the space around them, half of it being "shafted" to the imploding pipe and the other half being "shafted" toward the exploding pipe. "Shafts" of acceleration propel the matter in opposing directions.

If you then orient the two pipes in an anti-parallel position (pointing in opposite directions), one pipe will simply blow matter into the other.
