Can a planet's axial tilt be changed by carefully planned and set high-energy explosions?
How powerful would a series of explosions have to be to significantly change a planet's axial tilt?
In my universe they have highly energy efficient crystals, not only do they store energy but they also produce it, somewhat like quartz. These crystals also potentiate the power of any energetic reaction released close by to astonishing levels whilst containing effectual destruction to a smallish area. If they are set off in a town, maybe the town's perimeter will be totally destroyed, razed, but its periphery will suffer "only" from radiation.
So my question is: would such a series of explosions, carefully planned and set, be able to affect the axial tilt of a planet?
