Popular discussions referencing John Wheeler’s thought experiments, which suggest that sufficient energy confined in a small region could form a black hole. My confusion is about why pressure-driven compression in thermonuclear weapons cannot satisfy this condition, despite achieving very high densities briefly. John Wheeler mentioned that if we were to take all the heavy water from our universe and creates a hydrogen bomb out of it, it could hypothetically create a black hole but shouldn't the gravitational force be more than the compression caused due to the bomb/instrument?

Will it reach the Schwarzschild radius required for a black hole?

Even if it does reach am sure that the Hawking radiation will result it in evaporating instantaneously, but I just want to know if it's possible through it
