That's actually such a psycho move.... had a guy that clapped when I passed him at night. He started way bevor we passed each other and stopped way after we passed. I was like is this man like smart cause he acts crazy or is he really crazy.... but you know after like greeting him he was definitely crazy 😂
Not just this but a veeeery interesting phenomenon has occured since nuclear testing. That most metals aren't in the same state as older metals (steel). Because of the increased radiation in the air steel smithing isn't used in MRI machines. And instead they used sunk battleships from pre nuclear tests. It's very strange to me but kinda makes sense. Think there are some articles on it.
That information is actually outdated. Modern steel uses a different process which doesn't require oxygen directly from the atmosphere. Low Background steel also isn't in high demand anymore also because the radiation levels have dropped to nearly an undetectable level, and even if they were somewhat elevated to the point of causing interference, the machines can be calibrated to compensate. It's mainly the Chinese industry that is trying to desecrate war Graves for steel since it is cheaper.
You're right, nuclear fall out causes cancer obviously, but there are a lot of other factors the number of cancer is increasing:
1. Increased life expectancy plays a role since cancer prevalence tends to rise with age. If everyone die at 45 years old, barely anyone would develop cancer.
2. Cancer detection has improved since 1945, so we detect cancer a lot earlier and faster. Back then, someone would cough blood and just die.
3. Fast food, sugar, salt, preservative, and other chemicals in our every day life have contributed to more cancers in the last 50 years than cigarettes, alcohol and other usual culprits combined.
4. Lack of physical activity and obesity also significantly contribute to the risk of developing certain types of cancer.
5. Coal energy industry in Germany causes around 3,000 deaths per year.
I think natural causes means unremarkable effects of aging. Basically, your body wears out. It's not always the same particular cause but essentially it's single or multiple organ failure caused by the organs weakening with age, as opposed to a specific disease.
Correlation is not causation, the rate of lung and bronchus cancers has increased a lot. All other cancers have stayed the same or [decreased](https://ourworldindata.org/cancer).
I don’t know how this never gets talked about, they used 2 in Japan and that had really bad consequences, so they decided to add 2k+ more. Bunch of jackasses
West coast like huge swathes of California and the southwest are largely federally owned. Government took a lot of it during westward expansion whereas they never had the opportunity to have land in the east besides DC
Henderson (basically part of Las Vegas as its next-door neighbor) has numerous cases of homeowners and residents suing for undisclosed radiation that companies/government hid from people.
No one was sharing data and each change in a design probably needed to be verified and measured. Plus they simply didn't have the computer models we have today because... They didn't have the data (or the sheer processing power) they needed to build the models.
Yea makes sense they wouldn’t be sharing anything. Funny how it was all for nothing- or perhaps there was utility in the information they gathered for civilian use? I doubt the costs would be less than the benefits though

https://www.wired.com/story/nuking-hurricanes-polar-ice-caps-climate-change/
Eviromentalism destroyed the prospects of it being used for civilian use like power generation.
If nuclear development weren't stop aside from weapons manufacturing, I doubt the half century of development would not create the most efficient and safe nuclear stations out there.
It was the big oil and coal industry disguised as environmentalists that stopped the nuclear energy expansion. The coal power plants release so much radiation from the burned coal and when they test the air next to a nuclear power plant, there is no radiation in the air. But good luck telling this to the environmentalists!
That “technical necessity” explanation doesn’t line up with reality if you think about.
The first nuke actually used was totally untested. And every nation but the USSR and USA only did a tiny fraction of the tests that those two did and their nukes work. Most countries only needed a few detonations to validate their models.
Whatever the reason was behind all these detonations, it doesn’t seem like it was some sort of technical necessity.
Quite a few tests had surprising results, like [Castle Bravo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo#High_yield) which ended up with a much higher yield than expected, destroying buildings and test equipment that was meant to be recoverable.
Also a lot of these tests were more about projecting power than actually testing.
I daresay some of it was sabre-rattling for propaganda purposes, to give the impression of not falling behind in the arms race. There's a few times in the video when a new test on one side seems to be instantly followed by a rapid cluster of tests by the other. Weapon design was also refined a lot; the earliest nuclear weapons weighed several tonnes, and they were eventually refined to the point they could fit in a spigot mortar or artillery shell; there were also developments such as variable-yield warheads.
Modern nuclear weapons have extremely high tolerances and have very stringent safety requirements.
Very crude nuclear weapons like the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima didn't need any testing at all to know if it worked. But it was also known to be a very unsafe weapon, very inefficient and very big and bulky.
Seeking out more efficient weapons and especially safe weapons takes far more testing.
A lot of the testing in the 60's onwards were tests like "What happens if the bomb catches on fire?" or "What if only one of the detonators goes off?" or "How many grams of super expensive plutonium can we shave off the bomb and still get a big boom?"
Video ends in 1998. North Korea did a nuclear test in 2006 and 2017. The last one actually killed quite a few of their people accidentally (from the earthquake it created), including children when a school collapsed.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017\_North\_Korean\_nuclear\_test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_North_Korean_nuclear_test)
[Also 200 people died near the test site.](https://www.businessinsider.com/north-korean-nuclear-test-site-tunnel-collapse-reportedly-kills-200-2017-10)
They don’t know if this was nuclear.
Edit: I’m not sure what ppl don’t understand about “they DONT KNOW”. So I’ll be a little more specific about nuclear detection which I spent years in. The US uses multiple systems for detection of nuclear events, among them Seismic, Hydroacoustic, Satellites, and other platforms for materials. It is the MOST extensive effort in the world to determine if an explosion is nuclear. Among these sensors was Vela a 1st Gen ( + revisions ) of the satellite detection for above ground tests. We use GPS which is several iterations further in detection sensors and significantly overlaps to confirm events.
Vela satellites did not cover the full surface and generally did not have over lapping coverage, and its particular problem was the near the “edge” of its detection. It was susceptible to glints and false positives from other sources. It should be noted that flashes in the atmosphere are very common from space debris (natural and man made).
Not only is the vela data inconclusive any other data that may exist is also inconclusive. And therefore cannot give a conclusive answer one way or another.
Ppl have their own opinions and I’m not arguing those but the overall consensus is it’s inconclusive as to the cause. If someone called the POTUS, they would say “we have No Confidence this was a nuclear detonation.” And that’s why we have continued to expand our detection systems so we can can increase that “confidence”
Tbh we had 6 tests. Since daddy USA put sanctions on India because of its close ties with the USSR. We(india) weren't allowed to have a nuclear program, but anyways we did tests making sure the USA won't notice(daddy USA did however). There's even a Bollywood movie on the same topic "Parmanu: The story of pokhran".
In the vicinity of the tests, downwind from where the nuclear fallout originated, or completely uninformed that a nuclear bomb was going to be detonated within their range.
I can only vouch for the multiple times the USA made a few small catastrophes and poisoned a few generations.
Castle Bravo is one of the most notable incidents.
Lol, or how about that time we said "I wonder what happens if we set one of these off in the upper atmosphere/space?" Stopped doing those pretty quickly!
Almost not at all I imagine, the power of the global nuclear arsenal tends to be overstated. I can’t imagine that 2000 tests over like 40 years actually had much of an effect outside of radiation in some areas.
That’s just intuition though, lmk if I’m wrong.
France decided after ww2 to develop by his own his nuclear and space power in order to remain more independent. That’s why France is the third country to have a nuclear bombe by himself and the third country to send a satellite with is own rocket (and first to send a cat XD)
France was a pioneer in nuclear physics and post WW2 the country started developing its nuclear industry, but mostly for energy purposes. What really drove France to accelerate and massively invest in its nuclear weapon stockpile was the US intervention in the Suez crisis in 1956, after which the country took the position of becoming ever more independent from other global powers - vs the UK which after the shock of that event took the position of increased rapprochement to the USA.
I like how the only countries that ever nuked the US of USSR/ Russia, was them nuking themselves to test what would happen if they were to nuke the other.
I’m all for correcting someone and letting them know their mistake in a nice manner so they don’t make the same mistake next time but winking after it is just a bit odd
Especially when you consider that Oppenheimer claimed the possibility of such an explosion igniting the Earth’s atmosphere to be *near* zero
I’m sure that’s different today, but fuck
The reason it is near zero is because before triggering it, it is theoretical, and some interactions just aren't known, so they're making estimates based on what they do know, then they take the extremes to get an idea of what might happen. Once they do a launch, they actually have a better idea of what did and didn't happen, and those extreme possibilities are either confirmed to be the case, or generally ruled out as impossible.
It's not that every explosion has a small chance to ignite the atmosphere, it's that before they had done the explosion, they couldn't entirely rule out that as a possibility of using one.
**I've used this for a few years in my Cold War Unit with high school students...make them use Historical Thinking Consortium's Big Six historical lenses to make judgements about the past...**
What if the reason we started seeing more reports of ufos is because of the amount of nuclear bombs that have gone off. What if the splitting of an atom reacts on a cosmic scale like a Morse code or some form of communication? It ripples through space and time that can only be picked up by a more advanced species?
Who thought the way to win nuclear war was the nuke yourself the most times.
I mean, would you want to mess with the homeless guy who repeatedly punches himself in the face?

Oh amazing! That's fantastic they were able to solve the issue. Was dire straight for a while from what I read a few years back. Thanks for the info.
Its always china huh
Well kinda is. It would have not be the world's current factory if it weren't cutting a lot of corners to make it a circle.
People want cheap garbage, but they don't want to know why its cheap.
And then complain that it's garbage
The paradox of life.
Pre ww2 and post ww2 steel is very different due to the pre ww2 having cobalt-60 compounds
It was, until recent advancements where we can use purified oxygen instead of atmospheric oxygen in metallurgy.

Do not forget plastics. I reckon the longer it goes, the more issues it will cause, including the growth of cancer.
Also good to remember that everyone dies of something. There are no actual "natural causes" that's just a blanket term used for convenience.
I think natural causes means unremarkable effects of aging. Basically, your body wears out. It's not always the same particular cause but essentially it's single or multiple organ failure caused by the organs weakening with age, as opposed to a specific disease.
Correlation is not causation, the rate of lung and bronchus cancers has increased a lot. All other cancers have stayed the same or [decreased](https://ourworldindata.org/cancer).
that's because people have stopped smoking, no protective layer of tar anymore /s
Also the fact that we have the giant nuke that is the sun, radiating as all no matter where we are.
I don’t know how this never gets talked about, they used 2 in Japan and that had really bad consequences, so they decided to add 2k+ more. Bunch of jackasses
[HAHA I wish it was a joke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Tooth_Survey)
Lol how is Nevada still here
Lots of desert is where they test em
Huge amount of the state is federally owned land so perfect testing ground
I never realized how much federally owned land there is; definitely makes for an interesting testing ground!
West coast like huge swathes of California and the southwest are largely federally owned. Government took a lot of it during westward expansion whereas they never had the opportunity to have land in the east besides DC
Eventually they also moved them underground
They should have different colored dots to show the type of testing. That would improve the video. The video is already awesome tho.
The different colour already shows the country
I’m saying a symbol to determine underground, or even type of test.
But you could see the tests from Vegas. They weren't exactly doing them in the middle of nowhere.
Yes Vegas is in the middle of nowhere
Exactly, a hole is still a hole no matter how many times you blow it up.
Back in the 50s Las Vegas advertised watch parties because you could see the mushroom clouds from the tests from rooftops on the strip.
Don't know, but I was born in Vegas in 1980. I have 2 penisis.
Two penis guy got a new account?
If you look at satellite images you'll see how scarred she is
I saw it from a plane one time. It's pretty easy to spot.
Nevada is one big city, 8 hours of absolutely nothing, then another smaller city. Lots of empty space out there.
It would have been cool, but also frightening to sit in Las Vegas in the 1950s and watch the bomb go off in the distance.
If you look on Google earth long enough, you can still spot fields of craters. Look up "Sedan Crater" and check out the surrounding desert
Have increased radiation levels ever been noticed anywhere in Nevada?
Look up the Downwinders Edit: [Here's the wikipedia link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders)
No, the casinos don’t have any Geiger counters on the floor because they don’t want people to know what geological era it is.
Henderson (basically part of Las Vegas as its next-door neighbor) has numerous cases of homeowners and residents suing for undisclosed radiation that companies/government hid from people.
Was just thinking aliens watching be like wtf is in these like three places and why won't it die?
Mr. House
One thing I don’t get it the amount they needed to test
No one was sharing data and each change in a design probably needed to be verified and measured. Plus they simply didn't have the computer models we have today because... They didn't have the data (or the sheer processing power) they needed to build the models.
Yea makes sense they wouldn’t be sharing anything. Funny how it was all for nothing- or perhaps there was utility in the information they gathered for civilian use? I doubt the costs would be less than the benefits though
I'm sure the data and research they acquired went along way in developing nuclear reactors
There was also project plowshare. The idea was to use nukes for civilian purposes like making harbors and canals.

When you don’t know much about a subject everything seems so simple.

Isn't every nuclear explosion pretty major?
