Aerogels are a real-world material that are used for thermal insulation and chemical absorption. I don't think they can explode. Cool story none-the-less.
"I don't think they can explode"... yet. It is almost entirely made of ambient air, with Earth's normal 20% oxygen. What "this" aerogel sounds like is that they make it in an extremely high pressure environment of free oxygen. The actual aerogel, in that case, is simply a containment system for the second or third most aggressive oxidizer in the universe... free elemental oxygen. Only way it would be more dangerous is if it was made in a chlorine or fluorine environment. LOX to the 4th power? It is not quite as destructive as a nuke, but only barely.
You said it, chemical absorption. Sounds like they made one that stores insane oxygen quantities, which is as terrifying as the story implies. I've seen them as an insulator first as well they're a super cool material
Yes, moving ahead is the only plan we go by. No, none of us know what the plan looks like until it happens. Yes, there are plenty of examples in our history where this has gone spectacularly badly. We're still doing it.

Wait a minute! Grundle was a name I used 20 years ago for a Half Orc Warrior in table top D&D. That's just fecking awesome! Props to the author and Agro!
In the Air Force I had many dealings with Liquid OXygen (LOX). One time I was working with it and little bubbles were rolling across the concrete. I stepped on one and promptly brew my boot apart. This was from a bubble the size of a skittle. Apparently there was some oil on the sole of my boot. (I wasn't hurt either, I just needed an new set of boots.)
It can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb. Get around some cranky infantry and I'm certain they could possibly make an entire cogent sentence with that one word.
Story 1: Mankind has spent a lot if time fighting, and so we instinctually look for ways to weaponize anything within reach of us... So let's be friends. Story 2: Mankind rocketed to the stars due to reckless curiosity and a strong sense of consequences... So keep a wide berth.
Story 1. Imagine how good of a friend Bob would be if he were a combat engineer. Hmmmm. Story 2. No "f"s given is standard operating procedure for humans. How can it not be for other species?
While 'concentrated oxygen' can certainly create some explosion, the scale of said explosion is certainly exaggerated. Because once oxygen is in abundance, the amount of burnable material will become the limiting factor of the explosion. Except... If the original explosion throws the aerogel far enough to contact new burnables, there might be secondary and more chain explosions.
Well, as the tank impacts and splits open, scattering aerogel in all directions, to impact on everything hard enough for ignition, for those shockwaves to send the remainder of the aerogel in the area away faster, to then splat and detonate to send the remainder still off even faster, each overlapping shockwave accelerating the fireball chain reaction out in greater and greater .. naw.... you know what? "fFP!" Really does just say it best 😊

Not how that works.... Not how that works! For story one the writer has the wrong idea about aerogel in general. Lets get one thing straight. Yes. Certain aerogels are explosive. No oxygen by itself is not explosive. Is it a fuel source. Yes. But oxygen by itself is not. And would need something to burn to work. Yeah. Like a leather glove. But the gel itself is not. There is an actual term for these types of mixtures actually. Oxyliquit. Third. It would need to be matalic based aerogel for explosive results. There are like three types. One is fire retardent, one is flammable, the third is explosive (but would need something like thermite) Especially since aerogel is a breathable insulator, and is just comfy. Its also not slimy like th first story suggests. So unless i missed something. Not how Aerogel works.
Human: what is this?
Alien: *explains*
Human: cool! a bomb!
Alien mother shrieking "NO" and chasing after both the Alien and the Human
Being a human engineer my first thought was...I wonder if we could make an aerogel of Fluorine...these thoughts are why the aliens are quarantining us
well, can we?
Yes...to both. Yes we can and Yes this is why we are quarantined.
Gives you the side eye. No mixing the Flourine and oxygen aerogel. Not even to make a rocket
Oh that's an incredibly intriguing concept.
@@niyablake Now we must make it.

Once you realize everything can be a weapon, you never really look at the world quite the same.
Even a pocket comb can be a weapon.
@@atomicknight63 Homie, a single piece of paper can be a weapon. With a touch of motivation I'm pretty sure I could weaponize a tissue
Remember, even the floor can be a weapon. My Judo black belt proves that.
@@TheMariusDarkwolf A piece of paper can be a much better weapon when you add a sharpened paper clip.

But are they made of a semisolid gel of pure oxygen?
@@HenshinFanatic It's not really a gel, it's more like a hard foam? Of sorts.
Think fluoropolymer aerogel absorbing oxygen. Like the stuff they actually developed for deep sea diving and even tried to use for artificial blood.
You said it, chemical absorption. Sounds like they made one that stores insane oxygen quantities, which is as terrifying as the story implies. I've seen them as an insulator first as well they're a super cool material

And this is why we say that for humans even the ground is a weapon... Because they've yet to find something they couldn't make into a weapon.
ESPECIALLY the ground is a weapon. It's easily available, very hard. Cheap and no one cares much if it's damaged during use.
My Judo black belt definitely proves the ground is a wonderful weapon.

Story 1: Humans can weaponize *anything*
Story 2: It is, indeed, a very useful form of energy.
In the Air Force I had many dealings with Liquid OXygen (LOX). One time I was working with it and little bubbles were rolling across the concrete. I stepped on one and promptly brew my boot apart.

There's a saying in the ship construction yard: "acetylene is bad, very dangerous. But you know what makes it a billion times worse? An oxygen leak"
TY for more great reads Squirrel
Well it is an extremely versatile word
It can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb.
Get around some cranky infantry and I'm certain they could possibly make an entire cogent sentence with that one word.
2nd story: I second the motion. My vote: Feck Yeah!
Hope you have a great day!
Good ones today. 😆😆😆
Hehe always fun with stories where aliens are the very calm and collected ones and humanity is seen as just crazy in comparison 😆

The biggest contribution of humanity to the galaxy at large... the F bomb.

Don't mess with nerds. We know what stuff makes other stuff very, very unhappy, usually violently
Tinker-nerds are the type that knows how to make things do other things they may not have been made for. And that is often a scary skill.
All in favour isn't the best possible ending line. "any Fekking opposition" would have been....
How about Hypergolic ignition...
Hgjj
Be wary of someone that sees a bomb in everything!
... And also knows how to craft one - oh and still has all of his fingers. That's a scarier qualifier
