Is this what would happen if you detonate a nuke 7 miles underwater in the Mariana Trench?

Yes, but the bubble would be much smaller, only a couple hundred meters.

It would also expand to its maximum diameter and then collapse much faster, like within a fraction of a second.

I imagine something similar would happen but not to that effect. It would definitely create a bubble though.
Pistol shrimps do a similar thing my snapping their claw shut fast enough to force the water out of the way and create a bubble which collapses rapidly. The bubble briefly reaches extreme temperatures close to 4000 degrees Celsius. However the shrimp does this in much, much, much lower water pressure.

the atom bombs were actually nothing compared to the amount of fire bomb raids the americans did on the japanese. Back then all their houses consisted mainly of timber and paper, which resulted in way more deaths and damage than the two bombs combined.


Also just a little fun fact. The japanese surrendered due to the soviet invasion of japan, not due to the atom bombs, they were completely unnecessary in their deployment during the war.

if anyone finds the footage of today's MOAB please share

>>1639197
>The japanese surrendered due to the soviet invasion of japan, not due to the atom bombs,
thats a lie

You are correct about the fire bomb raids, but NOT about the soviet invasion, that is just what the soviets like claiming. The emperor actually considered it THE deciding factor.

The participants later recollected that the Emperor stated:

I have given serious thought to the situation prevailing at home and abroad and have concluded that continuing the war can only mean destruction for the nation and prolongation of bloodshed and cruelty in the world. I cannot bear to see my innocent people suffer any longer. ...

I was told by those advocating a continuation of hostilities that by June new divisions would be in place in fortified positions [at Kujūkuri Beach, east of Tokyo] ready for the invader when he sought to land. It is now August and the fortifications still have not been completed. ...

There are those who say the key to national survival lies in a decisive battle in the homeland. The experiences of the past, however, show that there has always been a discrepancy between plans and performance. I do not believe that the discrepancy in the case of Kujūkuri can be rectified. Since this is also the shape of things, how can we repel the invaders? [He then made some specific reference to the increased destructiveness of the atomic bomb]

It goes without saying that it is unbearable for me to see the brave and loyal fighting men of Japan disarmed. It is equally unbearable that others who have rendered me devoted service should now be punished as instigators of the war. Nevertheless, the time has come to bear the unbearable. ...

I swallow my tears and give my sanction to the proposal to accept the Allied proclamation on the basis outlined by the Foreign Minister.

>>1639207
I'm only parroting Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's research on the surrender part.

>>1639235
You really need to broaden your reading. The Soviets jumped in when they thought they'd be able to secure additional territory since the war was winding down. In fact, the Japanese Home Islands had long been cut off from mainland Asia by the US sea dropped mining operations, submarine warfare, and especially in the last year or so, the US Navy surface fleet. They had significant troops on the mainland that had, for all intents and purposes, been rendered useless for the war effort. And they were poorly supplied, with even replacement troops unable to get to them in significant numbers, leaving them to more or less fend for themselves using local industry and food to keep them going. So when the Soviets finally entered the war against Japan, it was against an enemy that was already beaten, broken, under equipped, undermanned, and most importantly against an area that was utterly inconsequential to the outcome. At the same time the Soviets marched into territory weakly held by dilapidated divisions, the US was preparing for an invasion of the Home Islands with troops from Europe preparing to sail to the Pacific and continue fighting. The Soviet invasion even played little role in the decision to even use nukes. It was decided by Truman as a way to both 1. Expedite the unconditional surrender of the Japanese Empire and 2. Destroy the Army HQ for the defense of southern Japan at Hiroshima and a major IJN port at Nagasaki in preparation for invasion.

Now, this is not to diminsh the Soviets contributions to the war overall. Indeed, the Eastern Front was won through Russian courage and lives. But it's just as ridiculous to state that the Brits won the Eastern Front as it is to say the Soviets affected the Japanese decision to surrender.

pretty sure the red tint is from blackbody radiation

everything nearby gets superheated in a fraction of a second, then starts throwing off thermal radiation in the red/infrared part of the spectrum

that infrared is powerful enough to sear your eyes straight out of your head if youre too close

>>1619419
>Doesn't radiation cause overexposure on film?

That's how it was discovered. Someone put a sample of pitchblende (uranium ore) in a drawer on top of a covered photographic plate. When they developed the plate, there was a big fogged spot where the ore was sitting.

>>1638658
>Ever get the feeling we really shouldn't be fucking with the fundamentals of reality?

>>1656412
Is this just the pressure from the explosion or did that guy actually die?

>>1649656
Partly because many of the shots were taken in black and white, but were colorized later down the road.

If it is truly a red fireball then it could be due to where the peak emission in the visible spectrum lies. This would also explain why bombs detonated at higher altitude take on a more blue-white color; the thinner air means a higher temperature can be achieved (less heat loss through conduction) and higher temperatures correlate with shorter wavelengths, hence the blue color. Anyways that's just my theory, as I can't for the life of me find a graph depicting electromagnetic radiation emission as a function of wavelength for a nuclear bomb anywhere.

>>1656412
>>1657696
two diferent takes of the same place, when the nuke explotes the camara is more to the left than before, look at the lampost.

>>1656412
>>1657696
that video is 2 different shots edited together, all the buildings and poles are in different places before and after detonation

the first shot is probably someone setting stuff up before testing, then it cuts to the actual drop. the camera is moved sometime in between

>>1657781
emitted wavelengths depend a lot on the bombs blast yield but from what ive read there are essentially two light emitting events

the first is from the actual bomb detonating, it depends on what kind of bomb went off but it consists of all the photons/neutrons/whatever from the actual fusion/fission reaction. these are at crazy high energy levels, mostly gamma and hard xrays

the second is from the detonation products themselves flinging off residual energy, it fills the spectrum but most of it is centered in
the gamma-uv range

atmospheric detonation will see the initial burst absorbed and reemitted by the surrounding air and ionised gasses (within a few milliseconds), so detected emissions will quickly fall down into visible light and then infrared as the fireball expands

this is why high-altitude detonations are more blueish, the initial gamma-uv spike and radiating ionized gas arent attenuated as much by the atmosphere. might also have something to do with free electrons oscillating in the earths magnetic field, cant find much on that subject tho

if you were to set a nuke off in space and measure the em radiation it would only really peak in the xray range

>>1657781
>but were colorized later down the road
I don't think that's true. Most of them were filmed in color during the 50s and beyond. Colorizing the film instead of just shooting in color would be detrimental to the scientific value of it.

Even the Japanese bombs were filmed in color. If you're seeing a black and white nuke it's usually from an educational or news film where taking the color out made it easier to disseminate in large quantities.

>>1657877
>ghandihaspubliclydenouncedyou.webm

>>1657860
The colorization was done for aesthetic value when they released footage to the public or during the post-process for documentaries/shows/etc. Most of the cameras were black and white for the tests as they could capture more detail and weren't as expensive.

>>1657888
Doubt it, what's your source?

Colorization is very difficult on things that move and evolve as fast as a fireball. There's no way you could get them looking as nice as they do through colorizing.

It's far more likely the newsreels were the ones that had to keep costs down, not the US government scientists filming the tests. So colorizing for the public when most of the films were not even released to them and would have printed in black and white anyway is pointless.

>>1626163
I was wondering the same thing, how do those camera's even survive

>>1626163
>>1658618
they have three methods for filming those things

first method is to just float the camera on a fixture, take some pictures/video, and send it down a cable to a safe location to be viewed or stored as its recorded. the signals from the camera will outrun the blast but the camera itself will be destroyed in short order

second method is to fortify the camera in a mini bunker with reinforced concrete and shock absorbers and a leaded glass viewport. can get pretty good footage with this method but if the bunker fails then all the footage is lost. they usually used this method with cameras facing away from ground zero (and also with the apollo and shuttle launches). that one vid with all the trees getting knocked over from the blast was taken from a bunker

third method is to just set the camera up far away from the blast with a powerful telephoto lens

for the super slomo shots they used a camera pointed at a mirror rotating at some crazy rpm. each rotation would flash an image on one frame, so they could film something like 200,000 fps with fairly simple tech

they still use this same filming method for tracking and filming missiles and tank shells in slomo, since the rotation of the mirror can be adjusted to track much faster and easier than trying to turn the whole camera at such insane speeds

>We've never been as close as we are now to another above ground nuclear detonation

Whether tactically used, or for testing purposes, we could may be witness to a modern nuclear detonation that may possibly be recorded in beautiful modern high definition.

Anytime nuke stuff is brought up I love revisting this little piece of history
>Possible Nuke just randomly explodes in North Korea
>Everyone, South, North, China, United States, pretends nothing happened, or that it was nothing of significance.

comically odd.

>>1659502
>thousands of years
you do know what a half life is, right? the fallout will begin to decay exponentially as soon as its created. the most dangerously radioactive elements decay the fastest

the radioactivity at ground zero of any detonation is only about 1/1000 as strong after 2 weeks, and by then the remaining isotopes mainly produce beta radiation, not the spoopy gamma that you cant hide from

so yeah nukes are worse than explosions but they arent the "glowing sea" permadeathzone creators everyone thinks they are

As a kid that grew up during the height of the cold war, I can tell you that the threat of nuclear war - the very real idea that it could *really* happen permeated all of our minds and personas if you happened to be a kid back then. It was a real threat that scared the veins out of us and every fucking movie seemed to be a cold war related film so you couldn't ever get away from it.

Not everybody in this thread is some kind of nuke enthusiast. For instance, I haven't been on /wsg/ in a very long time, nor have I ever been in a nuke thread. Imagine that!

He didn't say that, nor did he respond to the guy for "knowing information." You must literally be retarded to have interpreted that exchange in this way.

Not defending the guy, he still replied like a cunt. But you guys are colossal dolts just as well.

There are two launch key holders on US submarines. Authentication of an EAM (which potentially authorizes the release of nuclear weapons) and other tasks involve additional officers, but the principals could launch without them.

What exactly is that rising orange fireball? I mean in a gasoline explosion, the fireball is made up of burning fuel/gasoline rising through the air, and the fireball is gets bigger with the more gasoline you explode. But what makes up the fireball in a nuke?

>>1585187
Sure lets just look directly into a nuclear explosion with magnifying glasses directly on my eyeballs

>>1691805
hot shit caused by transfer of energy.

>>1691805
its simply all the energy being released from the fissioning of the uranium tamper and the nuclear fusion of the hydrogen fuel like happens in the core of the sun. this energy is tens of thousands of times more dense than fossil fuels. it's kind of hard to imagine all that energy comes out of a tiny little bit of uranium.

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"

>>1638658
"Now I am becmome death, the destroyer of worlds."

>>1691805
That fireball is the result of an incredible amount of X-rays, gamma rays, and thermal radiation heating the localized region of atmosphere to about a million degrees centigrade in a matter of milliseconds.

>>1585162

>>1697317

I'm guessing these were fairly close to the surface. So does all the water get pushed outwards like a bubble at first, then the weight of the water makes it too hard for the blast wave to push outwards any more, so the rest of the energy just slides upward and escapes out through the surface (taking all the water above with it)?

In this one in particular ( >>1625171 ), it seems like the huge splash of water is collapsing and falling into an open-air cavity in the ocean, with the sea simultaneously rippling and splashing inwards to refill the void (like when you see a raindrop hit a puddle.) But I can't imagine that the cavity created by the bubble lasted nearly long enough for that to actually happen, since the water column doesn't start falling down into the apparent dip until like 12 seconds after detonation. All the surrounding ocean water would've rushed back in and filled it back up before then right? Is it just dipping inwards like that in the middle from the weight of the water column landing back on the turbulent surface?

>>1704203
When the bomb is detonated, it instantly vaporizes a large cavity of water and expands. The path of least resistance is upwards, as the water pressure decreases the closer you get to the surface. Just like a conventional bomb in the dirt, the explosion is met by the resistance of the ground (or in this case water) in every direction but up, so the blast proceeds upwards.

the creator of that video wrote an entire book about how there's some big conspiracy out there to hide from us the truth that the world is actually flat. He has zero credibility based on that alone, and now he's trying to convince people that nuclear weapons are a hoax when we have alllll this incredible amount of evidence that they are real.

If you have some kind of point to make on his behalf, spit it out, because I'm not going to watch a retarded 3 hour conspiracy theory video about something as moronic as nukes being a hoax

> Why don't we test nukes on the moon

Firstly, because there's an international treaty banning the use of nukes in space, but mainly because putting a bunch of nuclear material into a rocket with a substantially higher chance of exploding during launch than a smaller short-range missile is a bad idea. Even if it didn't detonate, it would still spread nuclear material all over the atmosphere, possibly contaminating thousands of square miles of land or ocean. Also it wouldn't be very useful because the whole point of testing nukes is to see how they perform in different atmospheric conditions, blowing them up in a low gravity vacuum doesn't help very much.

Although we did blow up nukes in space a couple of times...

(Apologizes for crappy music, a lot of these webms were made from clips of nuclear tests featured in an anti-nuclear propaganda film with dramatic music to make them scarier)

Simply put, it is the largest nuclear bomb ever built. With a maximum yield of 100 megatons. It was however never put into service as it was more impractical than useful.

>>1725748
The air doesn't go anywhere. It is superheated by the thermal radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays during the first several milliseconds, hence why everything burns, then the shock wave hits. You can gasp all you want but the air will be stupid hot.

>>1682129
47 kilotons is actually rather small. Current US ICBM warheads are 300-475 kilotons. Most Russian ICBM warheads are 550-800 kilotons. The Russian warheads tend to be larger because their accuracy isn't as good.

He was a soldier and he was following orders.

And if you think about it, nuking Japan put an end to the war right there and then, when it could have lasted several more months and costed just as many if not more lives. Russia was preparing to invade Japan by that time, can you imagine how horrible that would have been for the japs? Bombing 100k people to oblivion is awful, but it was the fastest way to end the war.
