The experiments led by Randall Hulet at Rice University from 1995 through 2000 showed that lithium condensates with attractive interactions could stably exist, but only up to a certain critical atom number. Beyond this critical number, the attraction overwhelmed the zero-point energy of the harmonic confining potential, causing the condensate to collapse in a burst reminiscent of a supernova explosion where an explosion is preceded by an implosion. By quench cooling the gas of lithium atoms, they observed the condensate to first grow, and subsequently collapse when the critical number was exceeded. .... When the JILA team raised the magnetic field strength still further, the condensate suddenly reverted back to attraction, imploded and shrank beyond detection, and then exploded, expelling off about two-thirds of its 10,000 or so atoms. About half of the atoms in the condensate seemed to have disappeared from the experiment altogether, not being seen either in the cold remnant or the expanding gas cloud.[13]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_condensate#cite_note-nobel-12> Carl Wieman <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Wieman> explained that under current atomic theory this characteristic of Bose–Einstein condensate could not be explained because the energy state of an atom near absolute zero should not be enough to cause an implosion; however, subsequent mean field theories have been proposed to explain it. The atoms that seem to have disappeared almost certainly still exist in some form, just not in a form that could be accounted for in that experiment. Most likely they formed molecules consisting of two bonded rubidium atoms.[20]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_condensate#cite_note-19> The energy gained by making this transition imparts a velocity sufficient for them to leave the trap without being detected.
Quantum gravitational triggered explosion/evaporation of matter triggering intense supernova level heat triggering secondary fusion and fission events in nearby matter?
