It will get very hot if nothing but the battery is connected with wire but it won't explode...., in science class we did this, it's called electricity. All you're doing is making an electric circuit. Try connecting wire to a lightbulb, and touch the battery on both ends with the wire also. It will light the lightbulb up. Maybe go back to elementary school. lol
