I admit that I am postulating a crystalline structure imposed by
interactions involving nuclear forces at the nucleonic level.

Still, consider a nuclear explosion outside a collapsium-shielded
vessel. Collapsium reflects several million degrees of heat outward.

While also reflecting 98.6 degrees generated by space vikings back into
the vessel at the same time.

Collapsium inherits neither of those temperatures. So what temperature
does collapsium have between those extremes?
