I find it funny that the article says that he mistakenly describes an antimatter bomb, I mean how would he have known about an antimatter bomb?

For someone who has no idea about nuclear fission, he did a great job at making something up. His imagination was credible enough to safe his life.

What he really described was... a capacitor. Except for the lead part. And one that would melt itself. But whatever worked.
