g'day guys welcome back today we're going to check out explosions but if you're new around here my
name is Dylan I just put a PhD in physics on hold to create some fun things and one of those things
my AI project I've been working on for a while is now out you can use it for free it's called
AMA interior at AMA interior.com if you want to get a new interior design of your room your
kitchen your living room uh in just a few seconds into any style with like one photo come check out
my new web app I've had a lot of fun making it and we're about to also release AI my cars since
we launched it a couple days ago we've now had over 100 users so thank you guys so much I hope
you're enjoying it we've also fixed a bunch of bugs we just deployed login preservation so you
won't have to do those one-time passcodes every time you [ __ ] refresh not gonna
Focus too much on the nuclear bombs in this one because I don't want the FBI to rate me for one
there's another one focused on nuclear explosions we'll save it for that but I guess we'll still say
some things all right 1.5 million views yes I'm ex I expect the views to explode on this one for sure
let's get into it firecracker
wow this is a very nice looking video hand grenade two meters what is this this guy's
standing in a [ __ ] bubble Shield this guy's been watching too much Halo 3.
man those are the days though and yeah Halo nodes out there it's my favorite game by the way
could we make a bubble shield now that's a fun question anti-tank mine what is that probably
10 meters okay there's some butterflies uh neat knee Palm bum have they spelled
Napalm right there is that an e Mach 77 you don't want to be anywhere near Napalm bomb
approximately 30 years from explosion wow this video is [ __ ] terrific man if if this
guy who made this video is watching well done this is awesome [Music] three meters [Music]
God this guy's even got the SpaceX Starship in there that's so freaking cool Tomahawk air missile
approximately 100 meters 270 meters from explore
he's even gotten a deer in here I'm in love with whoever created this
if you didn't know this uh Starship over here which hopefully is going to make its
first sort of orbital test flight soon largest uh you know ship ever
built spaceship that is anyway what is this one the mob yeah we're getting fairly large
now uh I can't see my screen is blocked on the right there but that is the Eiffel Tower
but fob bulb radical element right now that thing is gonna just obliterate the uh Eiffel
Tower there so I don't think we've ever talked about the neutron bomb before and
that's a really interesting one because the guy created it uh what's his name Samuel Cohen he
actually intended it to be a Humane bomb which sounds kind of crazy right he actually called it
a moral and uh sane weapon that would kill enemy combatants uh whilst sparing civilians and cities
now this guy was a physicist involved with the Manhattan Project from the start right and I've
read all about this and he's a memoir actually he has a book called uh shame uh confessions of
the father of the neutron bomb and I highly recommend that so it was essentially just a
smaller fun-sized version of a hydrogen bomb with like a few simple modifications under the hood
it would also be cool though I mean he might do it after it shows you
like really kind of close what it would be like as well foreign
would die a pretty gruesome death because the neutrons would collide with the protons inside
living tissue and the ionization would break down chromosomes cause nuclei to swell and destroy all
types of cells especially those in the central nervous system and I don't know about you guys
but that doesn't sound very moral or faint to me to do that to another human being but at the
same time I do get where he was coming from and I do agree with them a lot of this stuff
as well because you do have to consider bigger you know the greater good with things like this
little boy Hiroshima so you know obviously there's a lot of terrible stuff we could talk about
in relation to a lot of this stuff of course okay but we'll keep to the just the fun stuff for this
video I was uh rereading one of feynman's books the other day and he was talking about how he was
probably the first guy to ever look at an atomic bomb test uh like and actually see it in like
real color because everyone else uh was given these dark goggles during this test of a bomb
the similar bomb that fell on Hiroshima and he was the only one who actually decided to
not use the goggles because he knew the only thing that actually really affects your eyes is not the
bright light but it's the the ultraviolet rays and so he thought you know if I just sit behind
glass if I watch the you know my eyes will be all right so that's what he did and he watched it and
described it in full detail of all the beautiful colors and stuff like that anyway let's keep going
by the way guys I'm so excited for Oppenheimer and oh man I hope they include some refinements
fun stories from Los Alamos because yeah there's some really good ones I've talked
about them before you should go check out feinman's just stories of Los Alamos
when they were building the bomb they're just legendary all right we gotta go back
here I've been talking not even watching and this is too cool not to take in okay
[Music]
foreign
FYI when a fishing bomb explodes uh the released energy distribution is going to be like 50 percent
blast 35 thermal radiation which is like heat uh 10 residual radiation which is Fallout uh
and maybe like five percent prompt radiation which is like gamma rays neutrons X-rays and
again the guy who created the uh neutron bomb he thought he could increase the output of prompt
radiation to as high as like 80 while scaling back on the amount of you know energy released in the
form of blast you know Fallout and heat if you think this is big you just you guys wait Everest
oh
it's getting hot 30 kilometers away so since a hydrogen bomb utilizes Fusion as well as fission
it releases much more of its energy in the form of this prompt radiation right especially neutrons
than a fission bomb and most of those neutrons are going to be absorbed by the jacket of uranium 238
which like encases the fusion fission device and that that's just a you know increase the
explosive yield of the bomb and that neutron bomb we talked about is a hydrogen bomb without
the uranium 238 basically that that just lowers the explosive yield whilst letting the neutrons
bust out all over I you know we kind of just lose all sense of scale at this point right
so another thing to be said here actually there's one thing in this video that's
quite inaccurate uh and it's how long that takes the sound to get to us from this distance when
they're watching this okay so like you'd have to come all the way back here Irish
yeah Hiroshima right so when fine man I just told you how fine I washed it with his eyes
um I think they were like a like eight or nine kilometers away I think
I'll double check that but um you know from that distance which they're about in this video as well
right uh it it's they saw the mushroom cloud right and the explosion with their eyes and
it took like a minute or a minute and a half for the sound to get to them I believe I think
um and I'm sure you guys all know why go check out the sound uh video we just did
watching you know the things move really fast the speed comparison and I talk a bit about the
speed of sound and Sonic booms um so you know sound is much slower than light and
I I so the inaccurate thing in this video is like how quickly we're hearing it and seeing
it from this distance there would be a massive delay and you know you'd be just watching this
mushroom cloud and then out of nowhere and this shock wave as well like yeah yeah let's go back
so you can see here they're starting to implement this delay in sound but it's
nowhere near the kind of delay that you know in in real life
stories behind all of the stuff we're seeing all of these bombs and things like that
there's 70 kilometers you know what I mean the scale here is just hard
to comprehend you know like I live like 50 kilometers away from the city of Melbourne
that takes me a good 45 minutes right so it's like me trying to
watch something from in the city from here it's just like hard to comprehend
it's pretty wild that the Tsar bomber actually had double the power before they reduced it by half of
the actual test so bigger nuclear bombs could actually be built as long as you build them to
have multiple stages right so conventional bomb sets off a fission bomb which sets off a fusion
bomb which sets off a larger fusion bomb and so on right and you know this American physicist
Ned Taylor he's the guy who created the smallest most powerful most efficient efficient weapon and
weapons just for the US right he basically stated that you could theoretically have an infinite
number of bombs connected to have one giant [ __ ] bomb so these things could get a lot more powerful
a 10 000 Megaton nuclear bomb by my estimation would actually be powerful enough to set all
of New England on fire or most of California or all of the UK and Ireland or all of France or all
of Germany or both North and South Korea so ten thousand Megaton weapon actually has been proposed
to the US previously so we could talk about all the different types of bombs we've seen here you
know from hydrogen bombs to thermonuclear bombs to that neutron bomb we'll save it for future
videos because there's a lot of these sorts of comparisons we can watch and we can just
talk about random stuff in each one that I feel like now if all of this has gotten you pretty
down and kind of worried and just feeling pretty shitty about everything highly recommend checking
out Stanley Kubrick's uh Dr Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb that's
a film it's it's friggin brilliant and so funny uh Russia's doomsday device Kubrick is the guy
who did 2001 of course A Space Odyssey and this is just another one of those films you've got to
kind of see and Jesus Christ is actually more relevant than ever so yeah if you haven't seen
either of those films you need to check those out and they'll make you laugh and just feel a little
bit better because remember life would be tragic if it weren't funny I wake up to stuff like this
all the time I've been waking up to stuff like this for a few years now
so you know it's not nice not looking for pity just want to remind you to support
the creators on YouTube because I I [ __ ] love YouTube man I'm I use it all the time
I love it uh and I'm sure you if you're here right now you might enjoy it as well
so just a reminder support your creators because some of this [ __ ] we get sent
sometimes makes us want to quit it really does uh and it's it's it's the wild west out there
