It's also a shame they're not real. Sci-fi is pretty cool though.

>>15342610

They're pretty damn neat, right?

>>15342717
MEIN FUHRER, I CAN WALK!!!

One of the best movie endings ever. :)

>>15344002
Agreed, although it's a shame that the alternate ending is lost.

Never bothered to look for it, so ... but yeah, would be interesting to see that one concluded on a different note. What's the thing here btw, just "cannot be found" or "has been destroyed"?

Chemical explosion
-> Pu acceleration
-> growing chain reaction counterforce million times stronger
-> below millionth of s
-> flat earth
-> moon hoax
-> Big bang
-> relativity
-> retards

Will name that a well rounded composition.

What's even more crazy is that an hour after the detonation of Ivy Mike (the first thermonuclear bomb), 2 jets flew into the mushroom cloud to collect radioactive samples. One of the pilots died, but the other returned with samples which contained the then undiscovered 99th and 100th elements of the periodic table.

>One of the pilots died
Safe and Effective mushroom cloud?

>>15344875
The radiation fucked up the electronics, and the pilots couldn't find the refueling station. Jimmy crashed into the ocean - his body was never found.

you know what would make it cooler if a photo expert would give it a finishing.

So apparently gigaton bombs are feasible and were researched in the '50s, they had 2 designs given the names GNOMON and SUNDIAL(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_design#Arbitrarily_large_multi-staged_devices and links therein), but the details are still classified. From what I've read it doesn't seem feasible to have multiple 'tamper-compressed' stages as those require a specific heat and intensity of hard x-rays, otherwise the tamper would expand too quickly and wouldn't compress effectively. Rather, I think it'll be a teller-ulam stage followed by a 'candlestick' of fusion fuel. This was proven feasible for D-D reactions by Teller's protégé in 1979. This begs the question of what GNOMON and SUNDIAL were, they could be candlesticks or something else entirely, we can only speculate.

From what I've read, multiple 'tamper-enclosed' stages aren't feasible as they require a specific temperature and intensity of hard x-rays to work, otherwise the tamper would just expand too quickly and it wouldn't compress effectively.

>electronics
which electronics? They only had tubes in metal cases. All critical pars were mechanic or electromechanic.
>his body was never found.
If he ever existed

>>15342610
But are they even real?

>>15345805
Correction, an electromagnetic storm inside the cloud fried the electrical navigation of the jet, not radiation. He most certainly existed, it's a rather well-documented nuclear test: https://www.sciencehistory.org/distillations/element-hunting-in-a-nuclear-storm

>>15345883
>an electromagnetic storm
struck by lightning

>He most certainly existed
like Tonking incident or WMD's you were told to?

>>15342610
you're expecting me to believe ALL that shit happens before the conventional bomb just blows the whole thing apart?
okay

>>15346265
There was an attack in the Gulf on Tonkin on Aug 2nd
And Iraq did have WMDs, they had tons of chemical weapons that still had "MADE IN USA" printed on them

If you're gonna be a contrarian, at least be an informed contrarian.

>>15342610
Wait until you hear about Endo-Thermo-Nuclear-Bombs.
They create an ice explosion which causes things to reach 0K almost instantly.

>>15342717
Yes

They can be very efficient at enabling new life to emerge.

However I dislike that it kills people in the process.
Nuclear bombs are especially dangerous if someone misunderstands someome else. Otherwise they would not be fired.

So we shouldn't be building them.

i know very cool i was also 15 once
