Could the Ring survive a nuclear blast?
I am guessing yes.
He's nuking Mordor though, not the Ring. Mordor wouldn't survive, but Sauron probably would survive, since his fate is tied to the Ring, which hasn't been destroyed. So Pippin didn't really do anything other than kill some orcs and trolls.
So basically the fireworks scene again, but on a slightly grander scale?
It would would probably kick saurons time table a bit back
I know it isn't like this in the books but if you killed every single orc and glassed Mordor, and Sauron doesn't have a body and can't retake one without the ring...what's he going to do? Turn his shitty eye and shoot bad vibes at your forever? Just don't live near him (you glassed it anyways ). Pretty funny to think of Sauron still alive but utterly impotent because all his servants are dead and he's still disembodied.
It was mentioned by Gandolf that there were no dragons left who had the fire to destroy the One Ring. Presumably, you just have to get it hot enough, and a nuclear bomb just might.
Oh that is a very interesting. I would think 100 million degrees celsius would be hotter then your average dragon.
Unfortunately there are no dragons left who have the fire to test it :/
