According to the book, 1/4 gram of antimatter, even if you even calculate it, you can know that the explosive equivalent of 10,000 tons of TNT explosive is about half the Hiroshima atomic bomb. There is no problem in blowing up half of the city of Rome. The altitude that the helicopter can reach is nothing more than turning a ground burst into an air burst, and its power can only be increased. In the end, the power in the movie was not even a mushroom cloud. It was too pediatric. Even if the energy is still in the form of gamma rays when it is annihilated, and it doesn't turn into a heat or light energy shock wave, then everyone on the spot will be irradiated to death.

  • Robert Langdon: [Swiss Guards Offices Corridor. As Langdon and Olivetti walk, Langdon studies the row of statues of male nudes that line both sides of the hallway, all wearing fig leaves] The Great Castration.

    Robert Langdon: Me? No, I'm anti-vandalism.
