An electromagnetic pulse EMP is a byproduct of detonating an atomic bomb above the Earth’s atmosphere. When a nuclear weapon is detonated in space, the gamma rays emitted trigger a massive electrical disturbance in the upper atmosphere. Moving at the speed of light,this overload will short ou...
Wie presented his team's latest findings nearly a year to the day after a previously undetected 65-foot-wide (20 meters) space rock detonated in the skies above the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, injuring 1,500 people. He and many other researchers regard the Feb. 15, 2013 Russian meteor ex...
In subject area: Earth and Planetary Sciences Nuclear weapon testing refers to the process of conducting experiments to assess and improve the design of nuclear weapons. These tests can be carried out in various environments such as the atmosphere, underwater, in space, or underground. AI generate...
The NUKEMAP also estimates the potential number of deaths and injuries, how far the nuclear fallout will spread, and also estimates the size of the mushroom cloud depending on what nuclear weapon is detonated and if it is detonated on land or in the air. Obviously, this is all a bit morbi...
The disturbing number of nuclear bombs that humans have detonated throughout historyAlex Kuzoian
Edward Teller was a Hungarian-born American nuclear physicist who participated in the production of the first atomic bomb (1945) and who led the development of the world’s first thermonuclear weapon, the hydrogen bomb. Teller was from a family of prospe
6, 1945. Three days later, a second bomb detonated over Nagasaki. The death toll for the two bomb blasts — an estimated 214,000 people — and destruction wrought by these weapons was unprecedented in the history of warfare [source: Icanw.org] At the end of World War II, the U.S. ...
Because terrorists are known to be creative, we can only surmise as to how they would construct a RDD and where it would be applied. It may become part of a vehicle bomb, detonated in a school, or introduced into food or water supplies. ...
If you detonated a nuclear weapon out in the vacuum of space, the explosion would be very small as compared to when you detonate it in the atmosphere. That's because all a nuclear weapon does is, it gets really hot really fast. You've heard of "red hot."...
s device does not create a nuclear blast, so is fundamentally different to what the United States was doing in the 1960s, when scientists there detonated a nuclear bomb underground to boost natural gas production. The former Soviet Union also used therm...
