Dr. Stafford Warren was a radiologist and pioneered nuclear medicine. In fact, he invented the mammogram.

He was THE expert on radiology at the time. This guy was a GENIUS... and apparently an amazing fish catcher.
My dad knew a guy who was sent to Hiroshima days after the nukes, when he started suffering from the problems that you would except someone who did that to suffer from, his dr said it had nothing to do with Hiroshima In a documentary about a group of soldiers on an island having nukes tested on them the same thing happened to them, except they had it even worse
Well technically thanks to that, we are fully aware of the capabilities of an Atomic Bomb and Nuclear weapons. Remember, during those times, scientists have to gather experiments on everything, before realising the danger of it
the worse part is they knew how fucked they were, they were there at the testing. before the bomb went off, they were told to cover their heads with their hand. when the flash came they could see their own bones in their hands.

In case you don't fully understand what the fish means, I'll try to explain this as simply as I can. I take x-rays all the time at my job, so I have a decent understanding of it. When you take x-ray images, there are 2 parts. The part of the machine that releases X-ray radiation, and the tray containing the film that absorbs the radiation, which places images onto the film inside the tray. We have computers to do this digitally for us now. Whenever x-ray radiation is released from the machine, the crystals inside the tray react with the film, and place the imprint of whatever was in way of the x-rays on the film, which can then be processed. This guy, literally just took a fish, and placed it onto the tray, didn't turn on the x-ray machine, and the tray reacted the same way it would have to x-ray radiation. To summarize, the fish had absorbed so much radioactive material, that it didn't even need x-ray radiation for the fish to be imprinted onto the film. And that is terrifying! Hope this helped!
Sorry but that's wrong, a better explanation is that the fish BECAME the x-ray machine. The fish had absorbed enough radioactive plutonium such that the x-rays and gamma rays being emitted from the inside of the fish could be used to x-ray itself

Wow that’s an amazing story. Imagine being told “everything is fine” then you see that guy’s fish xray experiment first-hand. 😳 I would be shitting my pants
Comments like this are a bit of a silly take. Yes, there are examples of tests blatantly done intentionally. But with these, we had no idea back then. I’m Nevada, nuclear tests were tourist attractions, with people driving away from Vegas - and out into the desert to watch the detonations. Even when we detonated the first one with the Manhattan project, scientists weren’t sure what was going to happen. Some even INVOLVED didn’t want to do the test because they thought it might ignite and burn off the entire atmosphere. But alas, whaddya gonna do, not try to win the war? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lol My point is, yes there are lots of conspiracies, but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. We don’t know everything at all times. It’s easy for us to do now in retrospect, but it’s not easily said if you were a scientist back then. It’s not like that dude was the only scientist that wanted safety back then. Other scientists thought it was fine.
ACTUALLY, bikini bottom IS in fact named after bikini island, the island the US used for nuclear military tests. The OG lore of the show is the idea that the nuclear waste changed and affected the sea life, turning them into the characters we know today ✨
Its why all the fish and life in bikini bottom are able to speak and function on a higher level, because of nuclear radiation, the flower shaped clouds in the sky are actually signs of radiation.
My father-in-law was on a hotel ship during this test. He went to sea weighing 225 lbs and had red hair. When he arrived in San Francisco he was 163 lbs and his hair had turned white. This was 6 weeks later. The navy decided the ship was too hot to be in the harbor. They sailed the ship out and spend another month cleaning the ship. They came back in to the harbor. It was determined it was still too hot. They had the sailors sail the ship to Oregon and filled it with cement and sink the ship. My father in law spend 12 weeks on this ship.
Wow… did he live long? And I was wondering how long it took but was not expecting 6 weeks… and then another 6 weeks… did he have complications from the radiation or was he fortunate enough to escape the radiation
@@sherribreeden1906 He had a huge weigh loss. Lost his hair color and then started to bald. He lived to be 61 but was on medical treatments for bone cancer
@@sherribreeden1906 I don't know if you know this. Government records from WW11 were stored at 9600 Page Blvd St Lousi Mo on the 6th floor. Conveniently there was a fire on the 6th floor. Instead of trying to save what records were left they took a bobcat and bulldozed everything off the 6th floor. Now the Building is only a 5-stories When veterans try and claim benefit or service connected medical, the VA tells them they have to provide their on records. Many people who served do not have their own records. After all it has been over 50 years for some of these veterans. The Government has saved Billions of dollars denying benefits to veterans
Unironically that was not its name The bombs actual name was “Gilda” named after the 1946 movie, the reason it’s called baker is cause the phonetic alphabet was different for the military back in the ww2 era, so instead of alpha, bravo it was able, baker. So it was Test Baker
They just had no idea. Operation Crossroads was the first test of nuclear weapons after the bombings of Japan. Shot Baker was only the fourth plutonium device ever detonated in history. There were only a handful of men who worked in the Manhattan Project that had the slightest idea what these could do, and even they were largely still in the dark because their goal was to create a functional military weapon as quickly as possible, not to understand it. We take it for granted that every kid in high school learns about radiation, but back then it was still theoretical. May as well ask a military commander today to grasp the highest levels of physics on the level of Stephen Hawking.
I like to think he was looking everyone in the eye when he put his hand in the ocean and caught a goddam fish like its the most normal thing in his life

I guess if media and academia keep repeating the same lies over and over again it will make it come true. Isn't it strange how many inventors got brought out or suddenly died in weird circumstances when they had invented more effective or clean solutions for energy generation? You can't tax that stuff and it would destroy petrocurrency so of course it had to be shut down any way possible.

They never stopped, they've been testing shit on unsuspecting service-members for longer than you can imagine.
Many ended up dying, unfortunately
@@WhooptieDo "Many ended up dying, unfortunately." I hate to break it to you, but 77 years later, they're ALL dead.
Comments like this are a bit of a silly take. Yes, there are examples of tests blatantly done intentionally.
But with these, we had no idea back then. I’m Nevada, nuclear tests were tourist attractions, with people driving away from Vegas - and out into the desert to watch the detonations.
Even when we detonated the first one with the Manhattan project, scientists weren’t sure what was going to happen. Some even INVOLVED didn’t want to do the test because they thought it might ignite and burn off the entire atmosphere. But alas, whaddya gonna do, not try to win the war? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lol
My point is, yes there are lots of conspiracies, but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. We don’t know everything at all times. It’s easy for us to do now in retrospect, but it’s not easily said if you were a scientist back then. It’s not like that dude was the only scientist that wanted safety back then. Other scientists thought it was fine.
damn, is that why spongebob can morph into texas
Also why the one fish has bones brittle as glass
ACTUALLY, bikini bottom IS in fact named after bikini island, the island the US used for nuclear military tests. The OG lore of the show is the idea that the nuclear waste changed and affected the sea life, turning them into the characters we know today ✨
Cartoons tell many tales 🙃😶
Its why all the fish and life in bikini bottom are able to speak and function on a higher level, because of nuclear radiation, the flower shaped clouds in the sky are actually signs of radiation.
This clip of the bomb going off was actually used in an episode of SpongeBob. Season 2 episode 24a
This is your mom, jumping into a swimming pool
I love the scene you used for the thumbnail. Went back one time just to see watch that scene.
you know you should leave whenever the fishes starts taking x-selfies 💀
X-selfies 😂
Xelfies
You should have worded it better but i get your point
@@sWooSH_wHooSH no u
What u mean by the fishes TAKING x selfies
My father-in-law was on a hotel ship during this test. He went to sea weighing 225 lbs and had red hair. When he arrived in San Francisco he was 163 lbs and his hair had turned white. This was 6 weeks later. The navy decided the ship was too hot to be in the harbor. They sailed the ship out and spend another month cleaning the ship. They came back in to the harbor. It was determined it was still too hot. They had the sailors sail the ship to Oregon and filled it with cement and sink the ship. My father in law spend 12 weeks on this ship.
Wow… did he live long? And I was wondering how long it took but was not expecting 6 weeks… and then another 6 weeks… did he have complications from the radiation or was he fortunate enough to escape the radiation
@@sherribreeden1906 He had a huge weigh loss. Lost his hair color and then started to bald. He lived to be 61 but was on medical treatments for bone cancer
@@billstapleton1084 so sorry for your loss.. the government treated them horribly
@@sherribreeden1906 I don't know if you know this. Government records from WW11 were stored at 9600 Page Blvd St Lousi Mo on the 6th floor. Conveniently there was a fire on the 6th floor. Instead of trying to save what records were left they took a bobcat and bulldozed everything off the 6th floor. Now the Building is only a 5-stories When veterans try and claim benefit or service connected medical, the VA tells them they have to provide their on records. Many people who served do not have their own records. After all it has been over 50 years for some of these veterans. The Government has saved Billions of dollars denying benefits to veterans
@@billstapleton1084 sorry for your loss!! this is crazy..
Horray! Treasure Island! 😂
"My bomb is named Human eliminator"
"Sick!...Mines named The Local Exterminator...whats yours Bob?"
"Mines name is.... Gilda...."
Unironically that was not its name
The bombs actual name was “Gilda” named after the 1946 movie, the reason it’s called baker is cause the phonetic alphabet was different for the military back in the ww2 era, so instead of alpha, bravo it was able, baker. So it was Test Baker
It's almost like we shouldn't be detonating enormous radioactive bombs.
Whatever gave you that idea?
@@timopper5488 At least he's smarter than those us folks lol
they didnt know what we know now
@@warbossonxy
Yeah they did. That’s why they were developing a nuclear bomb. To kill people.
@@warbossonxy i feel like it doesnt take a genius to see a weapon that can glass an entire city and think "maybe we took a wrong turn somewhere"
High level military intelligence.
Yeah bro they got fishes taking X-rays n shid
Ain't gonna ruin that 69 likes
Yeah they must a been pretty high.
lol how r they supposed to know the unknown??? they were trying to learn about it because the weapon was needed to save the world from Hitler.
They just had no idea. Operation Crossroads was the first test of nuclear weapons after the bombings of Japan. Shot Baker was only the fourth plutonium device ever detonated in history.
There were only a handful of men who worked in the Manhattan Project that had the slightest idea what these could do, and even they were largely still in the dark because their goal was to create a functional military weapon as quickly as possible, not to understand it. We take it for granted that every kid in high school learns about radiation, but back then it was still theoretical. May as well ask a military commander today to grasp the highest levels of physics on the level of Stephen Hawking.
everybody gangster until the fish starts taking selfies
that's rather horrifying actually
bro that ain't a baker that's the whole baking industry
But in france

@@spudsbuchlaw your humor sucks if thats funny to you.
Okay but can we talk about the badass move of this dude to convince people
Grabbing a fish from the ocean?
I like to think he was looking everyone in the eye when he put his hand in the ocean and caught a goddam fish like its the most normal thing in his life
@@YagirusJust, like, hillbilly handfishing off the side of the boat?

"It took its own X-ray" is such a weirdly badass-sounding line.
Well, ima need new pants after this one. Impressive and terrifying.
Imagine being there for a week knowing pretty full well whats going on but no one listens
Humans disgust me.
That's how it feels for a lot of people with climate change. We know what's going on and how to solve it but no one wants to listen :/
That was the whole career of Ignaz Semmelweis.
@@s7robin105 It baffles me how many people still think its a "real problem" and not invented to tax people for "carbon credits" for literally breathing and introducing "Green Energy" bullsh*t which is even more harmful and wasteful.
I guess if media and academia keep repeating the same lies over and over again it will make it come true.
Isn't it strange how many inventors got brought out or suddenly died in weird circumstances when they had invented more effective or clean solutions for energy generation? You can't tax that stuff and it would destroy petrocurrency so of course it had to be shut down any way possible.
@@tiborklein5349 Semmelweis reflex indeed!
we need a full Vsauce video on this
There isn't a full video on this? I definitely am with you on that.
dude a full vsauce video just popping out out of nowhere would be baller
Didn't he just explain everything about it though?
“My seamen will only abandon mission when the ship melts or glows and I don’t have neither, scienceman.”
My dad’s, dad died at a young age as he was part of that type of testing in the Navy, super sad story as a result.
“Who let bro cook?”
- Us Navy
More like "Who let bro bake?"

"This is Baker."
*Ma Baker plays*
“Look man, we can’t be doing this. We gotta get outta here. Something feels very wrong. Images are appearing on the floor and shit”
That would indeed definitely be a sign
Meanwhile America: no marine life is damaged and water doesn't contain any radioactive materials
anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist btw don't listen to them
yet we went on to free the world of fascist filth. hitler, mussolini, hirohito..
And the covid virus started at a wet market in Wuhan where bat meat was sold.
"Hey dude did you know that America has been poll-"
*KABOOM*
Meanwhile Americans: barley come home from school 😊🔫
They are amazing to watch.
Baker really cooked 💀
Fish start singing "I'm radioactive, radioactive!"
I feel it in my bones, enough to take xrays alone
if you think about it, when a radioactive fish can take its own x-ray, why would it be impossible for it to somehow play this song like a... radio?
Welcome to the new wave, to the new wave, welcome to the new wave, the new wave
