Hey guys, it's mike chen we have size to thank for our great many things
I mean new discoveries are made all the time and many of which largely
Contribute to modern society's technological progress it has also held is slowly
Unraveling the mysteries of life in the evolving universe however not all
Inventions created by man had mankind's best interest at heart for example some scientific pursuits have been explored simply to satisfy
Human curiosity even at the expense of well the rest of the world nevertheless
Scientists Tennessee to fiddle with forces beyond their control have made them willing to face such catastrophic
Consequences all in the name of science so in this video we're gonna
Talk about six science experiments that could have destroyed the world number one and the tsunami bomb this is a top-secret operation
codenamed a
project seal and was uncovered by author Ray Warren in the military documents hidden in the National Archives of New Zealand and it involved a
Collaborative project with the US you develop a a tsunami bomb that can wipe out coastal cities and during the second world war the two
countries covertly carried out tests by unleashing bombs underwater near Auckland and in New Caledonia
Which they theorized could trigger tidal waves on a massive scale around?
3,700 bombs were launched in June of
1944 and the tests revealed that creating a 33-foot tsunami was feasible by orchestrating a series of large offshore
Explosions this project was shelved in 1945 as experts realized that they would need to produce around 2 million kilograms of explosives
And strategically placed them in a line several miles away from shore and water for a tsunami to potentially form number two
operations Cyrus this project was a collab between the GE corporation the Office of Naval Research
and the US Air Force and their objective could have been really useful this year and was to experiment on the possibility of
Diverting the path of hurricanes the first attempt to test this theory was made October 13
1947 at the time a hurricane was heading eastward into the
Atlantic Ocean
Project Cyrus sent an airplane to fly in close proximity to the hurricane and the plane released around a hundred and eighty pounds of dry
Eyes into the clouds unfortunately the hurricane switched directions and made two landfall in Georgia killing
Person in causing more than 200 million dollars in damages the government initially denied seating the hurricane
But officials eventually had to admit to the truth the u.s.
Government ended up signing the UN's environmental modification Convention
Renouncing the use of climates war weather modification methods for potentially harmful and hostile purposes
Next and I mentioned this before in previous videos the Kola, Peninsula
borehole okay the main
Objective of this drilling project conducted by the Soviet Union and his scientists was to drill as deep as they could on the Kola
Peninsula in order to penetrate the Earth's crust drilling commenced in 1970 and it reached over 40,000 feet in
1989 making it the deepest
Artificial point on the planet the project eventually had to be abandoned at around eight miles because the machinery drilling the earth was no longer
able to function at well 300 degrees Celsius
while the project was ongoing many have raised concerns over the possibility that the hole would trigger a
Colossal seismic disaster with some researchers speculating that the seismic event that could occur would be
Massive enough to destroy on earth as we know it also while they were drilling a lot of researchers reported hearing the sounds of screaming
From people in anguish and many of them believe that the screams were coming from the depths of hell
Which they were getting close to number four projects mercury and volcano from 1987 until 1992 the Soviet Union secretly
detonated its nuclear weapons
underground with the main goal of while manipulating
electromagnetic yields and setting off earthquakes that shifted tectonic plates these Soviets
Programs were known as Project Mercury and project volcano three of the tests were conducted in
Kurdistan while the last test for project volcano reportedly took place in 1992 the 1978 Convention on the
prohibition of military or any other hostile use of
environmental modification techniques banned these kinds of experiments
But attempts of developing a tectonic weapon is believed by some to be a secret ongoing endeavor by many government agencies
Until you've been today next starfish prime sounds like a dish you might get at a seafood restaurant
But in the summer of 1962 the US government released and dead a one point four five
Megaton nuclear weapon around a
250 miles into the space above the Pacific Ocean this particular weapon had a force equivalent to around a hundred
times to that of the nuclear bomb that destroyed
Hiroshima the explosion unleashed a
powerful energy pulse that affected various
electrical circuits in power lines in Hawaii which was about six hundred miles away from where the bomb was detonated it even
Disabled some of the low orbit satellites and some of the experiments effects remained felt five years after the explosion
as for the motivation behind a launching starfish prime the scientists worked has to explore the possibility of whether Earth's
magnetic field could be
manipulated to serve defense and military purposes
Since then treaties have been put in place to make sure that Korea's experiments of the same nature are prevented from happening in the future
number six Soviets weaponizing the playing in
1989 Soviets biologist Vladimir are the mova CH passionnate was the director of the Leningrad Institute of ultra-pure
Biological preparations this turn out to be one of the front organizations for Moscow's coverts biological warfare program called the bio pre pirata Accord
It's a passion cake he joined the project because he was initially promised at the civilian research operation was mainly focused on
Vaccine development however. They ended up researching ways to release and spread the plague by modifying cruise missiles they were
successful in engineering and aerosol eyes diversion of the infectious bacterial disease which could survive outside the
Laboratory and was resistant to various antibiotics now of course the plague also known as the Black Death
cost a suffering and demise of an estimated 75 to
200 million individuals across Europe and Asia during the 14th century
Which is why it is a bit terrifying to find out that a government - institution even considered?
Weaponizing a disease that could basically wipe out human life on the planet
But once the operation was brought to the public's attention
the Soviets government was quick to say in his defense and the research was not intended to be used as a
Bioweapon but was really meant to contribute to the government's effort of engineering defenses against similar acts of biological warfare
And it was later revealed that the program had been discontinued
You know what anytime I hear about scientific experiments and research especially concerning biological or technological warfare, and let's read offenses
I don't know. It's kind of freaks me out a little bit
I mean do we really have to go so far to kill each other don't we have enough weapons of destruction
When this is ever gonna stop, I mean we just keep competing with each other to find better ways of killing each other
That's why I really feel this world, and I said this many times. I feel like this
We're really tittering on the end, and I feel like that you win. It's really just playing catch up
Oh hey, you experiments it with dolphins. That could destroy the world hey, we're gonna
We're gonna sign a treaty that says no more of that and then the next year
Oh, hey, you're you're messing with tornadoes now. Yeah, we got to stop that as well
I mean is this will this ever end also these are just the things that we found out about imagine all the secret
operations the operation unicorns or leprechauns where God knows what else the government's are hiding from us and just all in the name of
Defense and keeping us safe apparently, but anyway. Let me know your thoughts on this topic. Thank you all so much for watching
See you later
