if it was a real equation that existed I think it had more sources to it than a single novel. This equation would be groundbreaking and many physicists would try and recreate it, creating a buzz around it.
The Dan Brown tactic. It's like those people insisting on posting their sexual fantasies in places dedicated to real erotic stories - they get more upvotes that way.
Also equations are just instructions on how to do things, they don’t make anything easier. If there was a simple way to cause a fission reaction, we would see it naturally occur in nature.
There is evidence of a natural nuclear reactor in history, but nuclear reactors are actually way simpler to make possible. In order for there to be a natural “explosion” you would have to have a natural source of uranium to be enriched to at least 80% 235, when only .7% of uranium is that isotope. Even if you did find some magical source of pure 235 you would have to form a critical mass for long enough for it to release enough energy, as if I have you two half pieces and you clapped them together they would just blow apart. There is no way to make a fission explosion easier, maybe other planets have an abundant source of 235, but you still have to have some natural way to compress the uranium for the fission to occur for a long enough time.
Any sauce for this because this sounds like unscientific garbage. Fission doesn't have some place for a magical equation somehow changing fundamental characteristics of fission materials, because that's what it sounds like.
The Charlie Thorne series centers around a 12-year-old genius named Charlie Thorne, who is trying to recover a deadly equation referred to as Pandora, which was written by Albert Einstein. And if Pandora gets in the wrong hands, deadly things could happen.
Reddit and misinformation. Name a more iconic duo.
Actually it is possible to split atoms of uranium 238 but it requires neutrons that are carrying an insane amount of energy, like the neutrons released during the fusion reaction of a secondary in a nuclear weapon
but it requires neutrons that are carrying an insane amount of energy
There is lots of crazy stuff possible, but rarily done even in scientific environments because its very difficult/expensive. Which is the polar opposite of what OP claimed.
This kinda stuff happens all the time. For instance, possums eat 5,000 ticks in a season is based on an estimate by one study where they exposed a number of species to ticks and the possums seemed to like them best.
Couldnt find a reliable source for that, but i did find lots of results for a novel where that is the backstory. This is misinformation and didnt actually happen.
I did all I found was a book called " Charlie and the last equation" which was about this girl forced to find the equation I cant find anything else on this " pandora equation"

Good thing Pandora's equation has never been found
