How Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs Work In 10 Minutes

North Korea: writes everything down

"We shouldn't fear of a nuclear attack in the near future." Well... how the turntables...

It’s quite impressive how the tsar bomba, such a small object (relatively) can have such a devastating effect on not only humankind but the environment.

Dear FBI, I didn't search this. YouTube recommended it.

fbi wants to know your location

The more you study nuclear weapons, all the references of "the stars falling from heavens" really hits home. They are literally man made star reactions in metal cases.

"It's not allowed to be used just because somebody wants to. Therefore, we shouldn't fear a nuclear strike in the near future." Uhhh.... okay 👀

"Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds." J. Robert Oppenheimer. I know it wasn't Oppenheimer alone that made the bomb, but imagine for a second knowing that you have unlocked the key, opened the door and shown mankind the room where its self destruction lies. Effectively giving them the tools to destroy life all over the globe as we know it. The 40s were such a unique time that I am fascinated with, the speed at which technology and life as we knew it changed is just astounding. My grandfather was born in 1931, after WW2 joined the Canadian Armed Forces and served for 25 years fighting in Korea then being stationed in germany (my whole family, mother, aunt and uncle went with them) during the tension going on between east and west german (and US/Soviets). But just imagine for a second, imagine being born just in time to see and understand that the entire word is fighting its bloodiest war, the men are dying by the thousands every day to fight against a true evil, that somewhere in Europe there are camps where people are being executed en masse, or that the atomic bomb which would forever change man kinds ability to wage war on large scales, imagining seeing and being alive for the moon landing, the beinging of the internet, the modernization the world took from 1940 to 2012 when he died. I just wish I had of given him a little more of my time, I wish that I had of been a little older before he died and had the passion for our history that I do now, because he LIVED it, he survived it, he had a family and flurished in it and that the end of his life, a man who spent 25 years in the army, saw things no man should see, never became embittered or disillusioned with man or the country he fought for, he never hardened to the point where he was more a soldier than a father or grandfather, he was always those things first, he was my mothers father, he was my grandfather first, who happened to be a korean war veteran. I love my father to death, I really do, but the greatest man I have ever know will always be Willis Roger (or Barney as he was called) Pritchard. Full of life till the end and all that I could ever hope for is to be half the man he was, if I could leave just half that impact, half that legacy behind I would be happy. He was born in 1931 and died in December of 2012. 9 years ago.... Funny how time works, it seemed like just yesterday the other month, now it seems like he's been gone for a lifetime. I just hope wherever he is, where ever the winds of fate have carried his kind soul I do hope I get to meet him again and can finally hear those stories, where I can finally ask those questions I didnt get to ask. I love you Papa, we all miss you terribly, I do hope my dogs are keeping you company up there while you wait for the rest of us. To anyone out there with relatives who have been through war, talk to them. Who knows, some of them have been holding what they've seen in for years and it may be cathartic to get it out and to teach you why we should avoid these wars. Some day very very soon there will be ZERO ww2 or korean war veterans around. The greatest generation will be but a memory we pass on to our children, and our childrens children. And we should all hope to whatever greater power you believe in we never have to summon the strength and courage to fight such a mighty evil again. Because this time I dare say that if war breaks out across the world, everyone will be fighting such a war, whether you are in the military or not. It'll be a fight for the survival of our species if we start launching nukes at each other. Sorry to ramble, this just made me think of my grandfather and life back then. He would have been about 14 or 15 when those bombs dropped on Japan. if he'd have been born a few years earlier he would have been in WW2 as well, I'm just glad he made it through korea, that was a pretty deadly war especially when north korea was taken and the chinese started flooding in the by the 10s of thouands. For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test their pride Men of five still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls

Why cant school be this interesting

Thanks Riddle, this helped me with my science assignment. We have to create a nuclear weapon next week.

9:39that didn't age well

9:40 Are you sure about that!!

Riddle: if you wish you can create a bomb that can destroy all life on earth 2020: write that down! write that down!

It is important to add that fallout is actually quite neglligible for strategic weapons since they will be airburst. Airburst bombs are, in most cases, high enough such that the fireball doesn't touch the ground. If it does, then it picks up the dirt around it and causes vast amounts of local fallout. It is this fallout that travels for miles. However after a strategic bomb at a reasonable height, the fallout will only affect distances very close to the explosion. Background radiation on the other hand, will increase regardless.

This hasnt aged well
