It's amazing how just a few grams of a metal could rip a bathtub in half like that. I love science.

So if you dropped 50 ton of cesium in a lake.
What? It used to be a lake here? I think the right term for this is huge mother fucking hole
[QUOTE=IQ-Guldfisk;30217133]What? It used to be a lake here? I think the right term for this is huge mother fucking hole[/QUOTE] Not really. It would be slow since not all the caesium would react. Like an ice block the outsides would melt first. Now what would be devastating would be Dioxygen Difluoride with Caesium.

Like you said, a solid block wouldn't get the full effect, but if you had a block that resembled a block of cheese, you'd get pretty good results.
Alkali metals are awesome. Did you know that lithium, if ingested, resets your circadian rhythm? :science: Don't go about eating it though
