Russians: Do Not Fuck with Them

No,they removed the beryllium lenses from the devices pit(the pit is where the big boom happens) and also removed the neutron guns from it. They also did not use the heavy hydrogen injection.

They used lead lenses instead,cutting the power to about half.

It still fucked everything up on the island it was dropped on.

well fuck you know more about science and shit than I do, i can only repay you in similarly valuable knowledge

Farting in the shower is a bad idea due to a closed environment

farewell knowledgeable human

I could go on and on about the history and use of nuclear weapons,but thats only because I did it for school as nobody else would touch the topic.

lol..

and I could go on about the downside of farting in showers as I have written many reports and thesis on the subject

Farting in the shower is also bad because your sense of smell increases with humidity.

actually it is bad not only for that but because humans' sense of smell is enhanced in warm and humid environments themoreyouknow.jpg

it didn't only fuck shit up at the island it was dropped on, it shattered the windows of the buildings in some parts of Finland. and besides from halving the explosion, they chose to detonate the bomb in like 4 kilometres up in the air (or sum like that), because if it detonated at the earth's surface, shit would go down.

vladimir is kill

no

Even if it was purely theoretical it is still scary to think that something this powerful could be made

and that we know how to build it.

It was supposed to be a 100 megaton bomb.

They realized that when the 100 megaton bomb explodes in midair, it's gonna create a shockwave traveling in all directions (including down). The shockwave would be so powerful that the air traveling down would hit the ground, bounce off, and go back straight up in the air, pushing the fireball higher in the sky than where it detonated from. They decided this would fuck shit up TOO much, so they reduced it to 50 megatons and tested that.


Also, they tested this over Soviet land in the Arctic circle, not Antarctica

Not Antarctica. Novaya Zemlya

Fuck it, I would have just blown up the world.

it is the worst things, we lost some nice planes on that day

You can say that again.

and some really good Swingline Staplers

*sob* and don't forget all those nice office chairs

if your only aunt and uncle died, you would not feed that way.

Here, have a red one.

That certainly didn't work

Well, from what I hear so far, no one was killed by Tsar Bomba. It was just for a nuclear bomb test.

Tsar bomba actually destroyed the bomber that dropped it.

No it didn't. It knocked it into a one and a half mile freefall but the pilot regained control of it.

You're probably right, but do you have a source for that? I've been looking on Google and couldn't see information for either conclusion.

What I mean is that Hiroshima is such a tiny fraction on that chart, and 9/11 is like a 30th of Hiroshima in immediate affects alone.

it was also a military action..not an act of terrorism. we told the Japanese government we were going to drop them we didnt drop them spontaneously

im not trying to say 9/11 was the worst thing ever, but no one expected it and we whine about stupid things here

Lol shut the fuck up. We don't act like it's the worst thing to happen. We think it's kind of an inconvenience when a couple assholes decide to murder 3,000 of our people out of the blue one day.

fucks sake, we warned japan of the bomb, and more people would had eddied if we didn't use the bombs

Well, you know, 3000 civilians died.... but that has nothing to do with it, right?

not taking it personally or anything

GUESS WHAT only one of those ACTUALLY KILLED PEOPLE

>hiroshima

>implying japan wasnt warned
>implying more people wouldnt have died if we didnt do it
>implying implications

Regardless of whether or not they were warned or that it was the path with fewest casualties is irrelevant, it still sucks to have that happen. It's like saying "Hey, lose an arm and the cancer goes away."

Your post prompted me to Google how the Japanese were warned - America actually distributed fliers all over Japanese cities/areas that they intended to bomb telling them they intended to and to evacuate their cities. Respect +120 pts.

It's so clean now! They should be thanking us!

That's just fucking cool.

I put the common US nuke (W-76) right on top of my school and I live far enough away just to be outside the thermal radiation zone.

Huehuehue everyone I know dies and half my neighborhood gets fried.

A well placed 100000000 kiloton bomb would wipe everything out except for Hawaii. (if placed right, in the northern part of botswana)

if set in Frankfurt with 100000000000 kilotons, the only place "safe" would be New Zealand

With 100000000000 kilotons, if you place it right on the text 'South Atlantic Ocean' then the only safe places are Wake island and the Midway Islands, which takes the population down to around 61 people (and an air base)

Oh yeah, and if you detonate a bomb with 100000000000000 kilotons, you would destroy the world 3 times in a row. Add 2 more zeros and makes that 3 and a half times.

You live in Frankfurt?

no, i live in a town in Denmark

Whoo, I'd survive the Little Boy if it hit Flagstaff!

you live in AZ? i live in mesa

I do, but I guess people hate AZ since I got thumbed down.

Let's do this.

That website suggests the radius of the Tzar bomba is 50~ miles

Am I missing something or has the most powerful N-bomb of all time got a radius of just 50 miles?

wow... if one of those tzar bombs hit my town would Denmark be screwed.

the Tzar Bomba is the exact same size as Rhode Island

A 1000000000kt bomb dropped in the center of the Central African Republic could take out most of Africa, 1/3rd of Saudi Arabia, half of Yemen, 1/4th of Jordan, and a good chunk of Israel.

It says that the Tsar is 50mt, whereas it was actually 57.

One BIG IVAN dropped on london and it's all over.

hm.. it takes .00001 kilotons to take out my school, wonder how much that cost?
just wonder....thats all

If you wanted to completely nuke the earth with the exception of
North America
40000000000 Kilotons would be needed

that would require only about
2,000,000,000 KT

god damnit iv got studying to do!! why the hell do you tempt me so!

Then why da hell you on fj???

Nothing's happening for me

I. AM. GOD!!!!!!

they tested the only one they ever made and it cost to much to make another like that (for effective ICBM use)

Actually, the russians feared Tsar Bomba would destroy the aircraft carrying it and create widespread disaster with its fallout.

So they cut it down to 50 megatons and detonated that. Only multiple 500 kiloton bombs going off at once could destroy the entire earth with fallout/widespread destruction/nuclear taint.

Oh thank god.

This is what Ivy Mike did to the little island known as Elugelab, part of the Enewetak atoll.

oops, forgot the picture.

Where and when was that?

Its..... glorious.

Fruit flies have a higher tolerance to rads than roaches do.

what do you say to mythbusters?

They can survive higher radiation. Now, The shock wave, heat, shrapnel, Blast would kill the roach instantly.

Must I repeat myself?

How about you just STFU now.

I'm sorry sir...I just...

The base of the explosion

Cant wait for this to happen!

MFW

it's..... beautiful.....
