Energy of A Piece of Paper

From My Blog: http://perspectivevision.blogspot.com


What will happen if this thing is completely Atomized into Energy?

E=MC^2
=0.0005 x (299,792,458^2)
E=44.93775894 TJ (TERAJOULE)
=10.74038216 KILOTONS of TNT

A 10 Kiloton Nuclear Explosion would produce a Fireball of about 300m diameter and would cause Second Degree Flash Burns at a range of about 2.4 km.
For Your Information, The Little Boy that Flattened Hiroshima released 63TJ of Energy (15 Kt of TNT).
