    3:32 Fun Fact: During covid, a bunch of nerds got together with their computers using a program to network them together and created a network with a total processing power that was around that same computer's power.

    Worked with a woman whose job was literally, "unscrew panel, look at indicator, mark it down on clipboard, put panel back, move on to the next." In her years in the Air Force the little indicator only came up wrong once and that's when she found out they will, in fact, lock you in the bunker while they get EVERYBODY to come look at the bomb. It was fine.

    For those wondering why we no longer do atmospherical detonation test.....
    Because it is bad for all humans. Atmospherical test released radiation particles into the air which get carried around the globe, and released gamma radiation which ionized air, which also get carried around the globe. The most famous of which Carbon-14, yes that Carbon-14 we use to date stuff from millions years ago, had increased significantly in concentration since the nuclear age started in 1945, but luckily now dropping back to pre-1945 level.
    Excessive nuclear test in atmosphere will increase Earth's background radiation and eventually lower human life expectancy due to genetic defaults caused by ionizing particles, so hopefully we will never had to detonate one ever.

    This is pretty much how all nuclear engineering is done now a days. While physical testing is important for the data, it takes SOOOO fucking long to get good results and it's way to expensive. Thus, we've built mathematical and computational simulations to test what ever we want, which is pretty handy. The actual experiments are mainly to get better data for the models, such as more accurate cross section information, or to verify the model's results. When you hear about the field, you probably imagine people in hazmat suits working on massive detectors with large barrels of radioactive sources, but in reality it's 90% just computer models and statistics. To be fair, that's most engineering fields in reality, but at least they get to actually build something more than once a decade!

    What if countries allow nuclear testing but are given a limit to how often they are allowed to do it and where they can do it.
    Like, America is only allowed to Nuke New Mexico and Nevada and Russia is only allowed to Nuke Siberia. They are only allowed to perform 1 nuclear test every 4 years. If anyone is killed during these nuclear tests (even by accident) they have to wait 10 years before being allowed to test nukes again.

    Oh wow, we tested 1,054 nuclear bombs? Ok, I was off a bit - I didn’t even think we tested a hundred. Can only shudder to think how many the Soviets and Chinese set off, especially the Soviets.

    There's generally more at stake with nuclear weapons than if I get rained on. However, deterrence is all about the appearance of being able to retaliate, and so we should put on a good show of it.
