Can a more powerful bomb be created than the tsar bomba?
Absolutely, Edward Teller developed plans that were never built for a 10GTon h-bomb. The Tsar Bomba itself was designed for 100MTon yield but then only tested with enough fuel in the casing for roughly 50MTon yield. Why test at full yield when all you really need to prove is capability of ignition.
