My biggest fear with Nuclear weapons is the thought that they could completly end all life and the fact that many of our governments would make the human race go extinct to get back at a minority group of politicains who themselves would risk the extinction of humans for the the same reason.

I am so fascinated by nuclear bombs thanks for this interesting video Also you did a fantastic job on describing what a megatone is thumb up from me

I've got loads of old books on Cold War military equipment, all probably out of print. Lots of good information online if you fact check it before taking it all on-board.

Right now nuclear weapons are less used as a more traditional weapon destruction and more as a tool of a sort self defense, Nations like north Korea would never be able to have a military capible of attacking any other nation by standard military force. But because they now posses nuclear weapons they can fully focus on having their military as a defense inside the country and still be able to do extreme damage to other nations by using their nuclear weapons. A full on invasion of North Korea will therefore be very hard and risky. This is just one example but there are ofcouse many more. Great video btw

There is a video version of the booklet, I showed my 3 kids just last month and now they know what a true horror movie looks like...

Interesting video. I learned something again. Thank you for sharing! Just lets think about it for a moment, the fission explosion on average would take place in 0.8 milliseconds. So when we would see the bright flash in the sky then the gamma and UV radiation which goes off from the centre with near lightspeed, so the radiation in that moment would be already here at our bodys. There would be no real escape from it. And oh yes the Tsar Bomb...the test site on the arctic russian island Novaya Zemlya is even today a very "hot" place and forbidden to go for visitors. Please I wanna go there for a weekend in my L1 NBC Suit and with a donned ShMS and a brand new chinese hose to except the Avec Chem NBC Premium filter and with my old and trusty DP-5V Roentgenmeter on my waist...and some spare batteries and filters... That would be awesome... :-))

Watching a video about nukes, while playing fallout 3

@Weaponsandstuff93

5 жыл бұрын

Shame Bethesda broke fallout law with "Megaton"

In the very early 80, there was a documentary (american) shown here in Australia, detailing what we- the hapless public- should expect, if the powers that be, decided that the political squabbles of two self-aggrandising men (reagan and Gorbachev) were worth destroying life as we know it. Anyway, the documentary went into great detail to expose the minutiae of a full nuclear exchange. From the moments immediately following detonation, to the days, weeks and months following detonation. It talked about how difficult it would be to get food and water, and how even were you lucky enough to find food and water, it would likely have been contaminated with the ubiquitous radiation. It followed up by explaining that when you inevitably start suffering from the radiation poisoning, you'd be shit out of luck if you were thinking of seeking treatment; doctors- those that weren't killed- would be tending to more important people suffering from more serious injuries. THEN it went on to describe what to expect from your slow, painful death from radiation poisoning... There was a lot more to this documentary, but I'm pretty sure I repressed a goodly portion of it. What I remember most is that for weeks after seeing this docco, I couldn't sleep (I was still a kid back then) because I was too busy crying my eyes out. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to have anything like this happen. It wasn't until I grew up that I learned that americans didn't care about the rest of the world/ that america WAS the whole world to them and that if _we_ suffered in _their_ war, well, it just never occurred to them to care... ps: There's also a type of nuke known as a neutron bomb. Put simply, it has a minimal explosive radius, but spews out enormous amounts of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, thus leaving most infrastructure intact, while killing all the inhabitants with a mega dose of invisible death. If it helps, you can think of it as an unshielded fission bomb.

As in an actual documentary or a docudrama? as I've seen both the Day After and Threads which show just how bleak existence would be after a nuclear exchange. Also I covered Neutron bombs on my video about radiological weapons, they considered them unsatisfactory due to the walking ghost syndrome, enemy soldiers would live for a brief period and function fairly well at which point they would go berserk due to the guarantee of dying within a short period.

Sorry for the delay. I had to hitchhike all the way back to Earth, from my planet... There were no Dramatic Re-enactments in this one, mate. The whole thing was narrated by -presumably- some well meaning chap, who thought he was doing a service by educating people on the horrors that this scale of warfare would herald. He probably thought he was empowering people to become politically active and to stand up for their right not to be nuked and all that. It was a sombre, no nonsense affair, that was accompanied by legitimate stock footage, or still photos for those cases where stock footage either didn't yet exist, or no longer existed. The narrator was american, iirc. Probably aout 55-65 years old, grey hair and while he had a trump-like figure, I want to stress that it was not narrated by donald trump (this guy had a legitimate claim to knowledge and acumen). It was bleak, it was offensive and it was terrifying. Watching it was like driving past a car crash and needing to watch that. It was depressing- no, soul shattering, too! He was telling us that none of us would be personally targeted by any of these munitions, but it didn't make a difference; If you lived in a developed country, then there were already thousands of nukes pointed in your general direction. He showed us that even if you thought you were ostensibly "lucky" enough to survive the actual nuclear exchange, even if you were hundreds of miles from any blasts, that you're still going to die, but that you'll be "lucky" enough to die a far worse, a longer and more drawn-out and horribly agonising death, in the ruins of a world that is now a nuclear wasteland and is no longer capable of supporting life as we know it. I mean, at the height of the cold war, the Soviets and the americans had over 30,000 nukes stockpiled, each. That's not counting the 'minor' nuclear players of the time. And if the Tsar Bomba could spew fallout over half of Europe, then you could be certain that over 50,000 nukes going off would send lethal doses of hard radiation to every nook and cranny of every 'participating' nation, and certainly into MOST nooks and crannies of every other nation too. Just enough, in fact, that even if you lived in the Congo, perhaps next to Jane Goodall in the middle of the jungle, you could know for a certainty that there was enough radiation everywhere in every food chain and drinking supply, that you would either die from radiation poisoning (quickly) or from cancer (slowly). All the while, watching the planet turn barren through nuclear winter. That was the day my childhood died; when I started worrying about my family and their safety. At the same instant, all those "Duck and cover" drills made perfect sense and yet they also made absolutely no sense whatsoever! I was way too young to be able to handle this kind of foreknowledge, though one benefit of this was that I grew into a person who needed to hear the truth, regardless of how offensive it might be. The truth was always far more helpful and a far more constructive virtue to build one's world-view from, rather than accepting pleasing fictions, for whatever reason... Ps: If you've read this far (and why would you, really? I tend to get sidetracked very easily. Case in point...) I'd like to suggest to you that The Day After (and all such movies) aren't bleak at all. If anything, they're hopeful! It's a 'Pleasing Fiction' we like to believe in during hardships, that tells us that "Something bad has happened, but we're gonna pull through just fine. Everything will be OK, just you wait and see." I think the movie ends with the people at the hospital managing to make radio contact with other survivors, leaving us with the hopeful message that they're gonna pull through, together. Hells, they even try to pretend that radiation levels in Texas were "safe" within a few short weeks of detonation. That's all well and good for a fantasy world made by disney, but in the _real_ world, Plutonium has a half life measuring in the hundreds-of-thousands-of years... My point is that all these movies tried to put a positive spin on this and tried to show that if we co-operate, we can get through anything. But really, it's an extinction level event. While it's unlikely that humanity would ever be able to eradicate ALL life on Earth (and thus its highly presumptuous of us to ever really talking about 'ending ALL life on Earth'...), we would certainly be deleting almost every life form that shared our air and our water (cockroaches were often said to have been the only winners of a- potential- full scale nuclear exchange, as they're impervious to the harmful effects of ionising radiation).
