Don't bring a banana to the sgc lol
While I'm certain the writers didn't put much thought into the technobabble involving naquadah, there is a sort of explanation for naquadah's reaction with potassium. Potassium metal, while not radioactive on its own, almost always contains a minute amount (usually around 0.012%) of a natural occurring radioactive isotope of potassium (K40), that is interesting in that it is one of the few natural occurring radioactive isotopes that decays in two different ways: beta decay and electron capture. Since naquadah is supposed to be some super-heavy element that is unstable enough to be useful as nuclear fuel and have a half-life long enough that it can be handled with the bare hand without suffering radiation poisoning, then it's possible that it's nuclear structure is very fragile and exposure to certain types of nuclear processes will trigger a chain reaction causing it all to go boom. Since natural naquadah found in ground doesn't go boom-boom randomly (not that we'd be able to know that anyway), it's clear that not any amount of K-40 radiation are enough to trigger an explosion, a minimum amount is required (and probably pure naquadah metal, not just rock with naquadah dust, kind of like how you need weapons-grade uranium to trigger a nuclear explosion and not pitchblend), a sort of activation energy, which can only be achieved by placing potassium metal against a piece of solid naquadah (so throwing a block of weapons-grade naquadah in a pile of bananas or potassium fertilizer is not enough to cause an explosion, especially since all that organic and inorganic filler will act as a radiation shield, beta and low-energy gamma radiation don't penetrate more than a few mm of inert material). In that episode from season 7 with Jonas, where they drill to stop a naquadria vein from reaching the core, and blow up the planet, this would make sense, since the radioactive decay of potassium-40 is of the main sources of radiogenic heat (after thorium and uranium decay), so deep in the planet's crust there might be enough radiation to trigger an explosion (of course later they explain that the planet's core is made of naquadria, so what hell now, is naquadria the main source of Langara's radiogenic heat or not? Why wasn't this an issue in the first place?). Which could explain why naquadah is so rare and why the Goa'uld don't mine it from asteroids (Anubis' asteroid doesn't count), because only a handful of planets have the right conditions that allow naquadah to exist for long periods of time without going boom-boom from natural radiation. And why it doesn't exist on Earth, most would have been destroyed early in Earth's geological period and the rest sank to the planet's core.
Username checks out.
Its also implied that for some reason naquadah amplifies explosions in general for some unknown reason. They tried to blow up the goauld ships by essentially just sending nuclear missiles with some naquadah packed in them as well.
It's more plausible that Nirrti somehow enabled the device to purify potassium into its metallic, reactive state and then create a naquadah-enriched bomb that would only explode upon stargate contact. You're thinking in terms of chemical engineering instead of bioengineering, which is really Nirrti's expertise.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
ha ha atoms go boom
And yet, they seemed to forget this when they made their "Gatebuster" bomb.
I like how they just casually gloss over this information forever, that if anyone touches a stargate with a little potassium...boom.
Indeed. No bananas near the stargate please!
Maybe it only happens with unrefined nackadackwhacka-what's-its-name.
Just the Raw Ore
@@SGtidbits Yes! We have no bananas!
@@SGtidbits don't forget the taters
thats it.. no bananas near the fucking stargate... period.
Not even for scale!
I have to admit, I like this episode, Goaúld System Lord versus medical doctor from Earth, medical doctor was scarier.
That is a different episode but they are speaking about the same Cassandra
Anyone saying "throw a banana on the stargate" doesn't understand basic chemistry. Pure alkali metals, such as potassium, will explode with anything reactive. That's why stable potassium is always ionized, such as that found on food and living organisms. What Carter used here was pure potassium. It would take an enormous feat of bioengineering, i.e. a Goa'uld genius like Nirrti, to produce a self-fabricating, naquadah-enriched potassium bomb inside of a living heart that triggers only upon proximity to the stargate.
It's a... it's a... it's a... it's a...
Nonononononono
If it was a bomb the alarms would go off because all of these hotels have bomb detectors, right?
Straight White Male 'Literally Hitler' *cue bomb detected sirens*
It's a trap!
*ALARM* This is a type A alert. For security reasons, the hotel must be evacuated. Please proceed calmly to the lifeboats located in the main hallways.
The potassium in bananas wouldnt cause an explosion close to a Stargate, guys. Tbe potassium in bananas are as salts. They're in a stable ionic state.
You'd need a molecule of uncharged potassium, as in, a molecule of elemental potassium.
I miss this show😊
This was when the Goauld was actually scary before it became all spaceships and laser weapons
Sooo.... Why did they never created a bomb/missile using these components to attacks goa'ulds ?
The exact nature of the Naquadah- & Naquadria-enhanced nukes used prolifically throughout the series are never really elaborated on - so why assume they _didn't_ include potassium in the design? The Tau'ri eventually operationally employed multi-gigaton bombs, for goodness' sake.
So what you're saying is... nuclear banana
Kinda wish they'd shaken the set and added a sound effect for the explosion to show just how powerful it was...
How did RFID chips work in the body
Just here to remind everyone that the second hottest and steamiest female on Stargate is Janet Fraiser ;D For sure. Secondly to our Samantha Carter
bomb
Thanks
You're welcome
@@SGtidbits I really do appreciate all the videos. I also play a game using RUclips video stats ( that's why I post those numbers).
@@wakkywabbit5446 All good man. I don't understand anything of the numbers, but as long as you're enjoying the videos, all good.
