The Big Bang, which started our universe, was the result of an ultra dense, infinitesimal piece of matter that was microscopically small, perhaps even sub atomically small, yet the resulting explosion started our whole universe into motion, resulting in ALL of the matter known to exist, all of the suns(stars) that exist and all of the planets.
It was so powerful that its energy has still not dissipated, yet it happened billions and billions of years ago.
A Black Hole, a Pulsar, a Supernova, there are many things in nature that use the power of the atom being split or fused, fission and fusion, but nature can even take that power farther and when a star becomes a Giant and then collapses on itself due to gravity alone, NOTHING, not even light can escape. A Supernova is when a star is reaching the end of its life and it explodes, that is a nuclear reaction to be sure, but it has more power in it than you can imagine.

Contrary to popular belief Antimatter is real and being created ever so slowly by the US government using CERN, and no this isn't some paranoid government conspiracy. When atoms are smashed through the use of an accelerator anti-matter can be created and if captured can be stored in a magnetic field. To date they have created much lees than a gram of anti-matter. The reaction of matter and anti-matter causes more complete consumption of both "elements" than a traditional nuclear reaction using fission or fusion, releasing about twice the energy that can be harvested from a nuclear (fission or fusion) reaction, but this is just another nuclear reaction.

The are four physical forces in the universe.

Gravity is the weakest. You can lift up a rock, even though the gravity of the whole Earth is pulling it down.

Next is electromagnetic force. This is the force from electrons and magnets. It is the source of chemical forces, which come from the electrical forces between molecules.

After that, the next strongest is called the "weak force". This is the force that causes radioactivity. It acts between protons and neutrons, which are parts of an atom.

The strongest force is called the "strong force". This is the force that keeps the inside of protons and neutrons together. But it dies out very quickly with distance, so it is not felt at all outside of the atom.

So yes, there is something more powerful than nuclear power.

Great question. Yes, but it's complicated. When you say nuclear power you mean things like nuclear bombs, yes? There are different types of fusion and fission devices with some being more "powerful" than others. There are also nuclear forces that are not understood yet that are much more powerful than existing nuclear weapons. Understanding these forces would be catastrophic perhaps as it could unlease new classes of nuclear weapons that are just too powerful.

But, there are other "powers": weather, temperature, tidal forces, earthquakes, stars, etc. that are in terms of magnitude MUCH powerful than nuclear power. The total energy stored and released in an earthquake makes nuclear power look like a pop-gun. So, there are obviously powerful forces in nature that are greater than nuclear power.

There are also other "forces" in the world that are more powerful than all of these but I can not speak of this.

Yes my Friend.There is. Nuclear Fusion reactions are 7 times more powerful than Nuclear fissions. but they need a temperature of lakhs of degree celsius which is available only in sun.But there is research going on to set a Nuclear fusion plant in california

Possibly not. The stars themselves are powered by nuclear fusion.

There is a chance that massive amounts of material falling into a black hole creates as much energy as nuclear fusion. This is what powers quasars. As material is drawn to a black hole, it doesn't just fall straight in, but circles(orbits) the black hole faster and faster as it gets closer to it, attaining extraordinary velocities. As it does this, it begins to glow and produces light; so much light that quasars produce more light than anything that size should be able to produce. Once the material reaches the event horizon though, it disappears into the black hole, never to be seen again. But while it is approaching it, an extraordinary amount of energy is produced, perhaps as much as in the nuclear fusion of the stars.

Well Mohammed, yes. Actually there is. Internet hacking. That is when someone oh I don't know, like me, let's say, hacks into your computer to see who you are and where you are from. Then I turn around and tell someone, oh I don't know, for arguments sake, let's just say I told the FBI that someone was asking questions online relating to nuclear power, then I would say that is more dangerous because I know who you are and now you are being watched. That's way worse I think.

Anti-matter. Combining anti-matter and matter is the most efficient way to get energy. Unfortunately, anti-matter is really hard to make.

Nope, apparently uranium has got the most amount of protons, so it will have the most energy until another element is discovered with more protons.
