Also as a side note: Anthrax is a Greek word that means "coal" It was described that way because the lungs looked blackened from a person who has died from it. The traditional treatment now is Ciproximine. It's a very powerful antibiotic and had to be given up to a year for inhalation Anthrax. The problem is, is that Anthrax is extremely stubborn, especially a "created" version. It can return in a patient if it is not monitored carefully months, even years later.
Their is a vaccine for Anthrax, but it has unpleasant side effects, takes quite a few to achieve immunity, and doesn't last long for protection. But better than nothing.
Not to mention that the spores of anthrax can live for decades in soil, and even longer on some other materials. They can remain viable for up to 71 years on silk threads.
That's why you don't bury livestock that have contracted and died of anthrax, you incinerate them.
The anthrax vaccine is considered high risk and is only used in the military. The side effects can be fatal.
@@esphaeraspraestans4212said: " Make covid19 look like a lil baby."
Yeah? How many did Anthrax kill last year. Annually in the US anthrax kills 5 people. Worldwide, ~3,500. How many did covid-19 get?
I don't know the reasons that you say stupid things. I guess it's because you think you already know how the world works and you don't have to actually learn anything. As of now, 7 million people died from covid-19 including my wife. I know it's a joke to you, I assure you nothing has ever been more real in MY life.
How about some real scary facts: They estimate arctic permafrost contains around 1.5 million anthrax-infected reindeer carcasses, and the spores may survive in the permafrost for 105 years.
And take a dive into the Sverdlovsk incident (2 April 1979).
Damn 💀that’s cool to think tht is better than us and is great a just livin
Just to clarify, the demon core wouldn't have blown up like a nuke and leveled Los Alamosa simply from the Tamper fully encasing it without spacers. If that's how it worked, then Plutonium-based fission nukes wouldn't require hundreds of pounds of precisely timed high explosives surrounding it to get the desired results.
Instead, what would have happened if the tamper hadn't been knocked off was that the surrounding area would have been irradiated to lethal levels until the core got so hot that it melted through the base holding it and, probably, the ground beneath it as well. At which point, the reaction would stop. The whole facility would have probably still needed to be permanently evacuated and cordoned off, with cleanup crews being sent in once radiation levels dropped to survivable levels, but it wouldn't have turned Los Alamos into a black smear.
the core would get hot enough to expand, and then the plutonium atoms would be vibrating too fast and be too far apart from each other for fission neutrons to have a greater than 34% chance of causing another fission, which is necessary for a plutonium fission chain reaction to be self sustaining. Consequently, that's one of the reasons why plutonium has a much smaller critical mass than uranium, each fission emits more neutrons, more neutrons means more potential collisions with nuclei that themselves result in more fissions and thus more neutrons, then you have elements like Cf-251 with a bare sphere critcal mass of 2kg
@@domvasta I understood none of that but thank you for the explanation
There is a difference between being irradiated and being radioactive. It's would not matter if the core dumped trillions of neutrons on everything; once you remove the plutonium, it is 100% safe.
Exactly. Interesting how it didnt seem weird to the dude telling the story that it did close for a second yet it didnt blow up. These yt docus need to be taken with a grain of salt
If your bones and muscles are decaying and liquefied while you are losing your body functions one by one I think you would be begging for it to reach critical mass and vaporize you into a stain painless compared to being exposed to any unsafe level of rads 😅
Regarding the Demon Core, Beryllium is not a tamper, it is a reflector. Tampers are made of heavy materials, lead or depleted uranium. A fission weapon typically contains both a reflector and a tamper.
Um, actually
You TH-cam scientists are comical sometimes.
Misinformation: The Chernobyl "accident" wasn't a safety test; it was a full-blown experiment. They were experimenting with the reactor's ability to operate under certain conditions. The reactor passed with flying colors, performing above specifications, which tells you how badly they F-ed up.
Also, the elephant's foot is perfectly fine to touch. Just wash your hands immediately. Last time I did the calculations, you could sleep next to it for a full night and be perfectly fine. The more dangerous something is, radioactively, the shorter duration it will be dangerous for.
"No scientists have been brave enough to take the Annabelle doll into a lab for testing." Translates to "No scientist wants to waste his time and risk his credibility on that BS."
Same conclusion before your comment was read.
agreed. also, the female half of the demonologist duo was lorraine, not elizabeth, as is named with graphics in the video.
Or science just isn't yet ready to explore the other side that many people are terrified to even think about
2nd time (at least) "Annabelle" have been featured on this channel. Not even the same backstory, besides the Warren fraudesters.
@@Random-persononyoutube You've got brain worms. That magical thinking hasn't contributed to your life or anyone elses in any way compared to STEM. If so, we'd be communicating subconsciously brain to brain right now instead of using this format which was provided to us completely by STEM. There's no magic going on here.
As entertaining to you as it may be.....your preferred method of wishful thinking will continue to fail you and others when making decisions as well as affect the rest of us who need to coexist with you. Your type of "wishfull thinking" hasn't had any success.....ever in the history of man ....other than creating a drag on our progress.
Among other things, Horoscopes aren't real, your gut lies to you when you start from being misinformed, the miracles of the bible and Koran are stories from peoples far less informed and educated than the society of today. There is no lost great ancient knowledge anywhere.... And reality is not as magical as you would like or need it to be, but I promise it is even more spectacular on the other side.
You don't have special knowledge....you are not smarter than most. There are people that are making a lot of money and/or gaining power off of your back by reinforcing your own resistance in ignoring the truth.....and they need you to continue to be ignorant for their own gain regardless of your benefit.....which is negative.
Seek what is truth and be honest to yourself first. That will be painfull to begin with as you will be filled with rage for a few years on how much you have been lied to.
At the same time you will see the wool that has been pulled over your eyes burn away.
Stop thinking you are special or gifted above all else in this moment. You ain't shit. I hope you come back to lol this in a few years with a clearer perspective.
The flash the people saw in the Demon Core incident wasn't actually a real flash of light. It was the Cherenkov effect happening in the fluids of their eyeballs, just to make things a bit more creepy.
The visual equivalent of a sonic boom....
that's real horrifying isn't it.
This guy doesn`t know science, OR grammar
there probably was a visible flash too, since people outside the room saw it, which is way too far for that many charged particles to travel, likely everyone within the room, who tasted metal and felt the burst of heat, would have had a much more intense blue glow from the charged particles emitting cerenkov radiation inside their vitreous humor
Wouldnt the radiation ionize the air, giving off some light in tge visible spectrum, too?
I think the most simple way he could finish the book so quickly is by already have written the pages upfront and keeping it secret from everybody
That still doesn't explain the whole "Handwriting stays the same" thing since the time taken would be 20 years either way. That would also be a hell of a long-con for... what? The off chance that you need a get out of jail free card at some unknown point in the future?
I think the thing with the dybuk box is not that it was fake per say, but people related unrelated events to it because of stories they heard.
But now, people have put so much energy into thinking it was evil, so that it’s taken on a dark energy of its own, and resides in an actual haunted house, and all this energy of fear is being brought to it. The theory is called the “thought form entity” which is not an actual ghost, rather just an energy brought by all this fear put into this object.
Crazy thing is, I visited the museum two days before I broke my ankle misstepping some stairs which I had walked on tons of times before and shouldn’t have fallen in such a manner. I’m pretty sure I stated something to the box that I had never had anything bad happen from seeing it, and didn’t think it really had much power to do that. Two days later I break my ankle.
99.9999% likely a coincidence but definitely weird that happened when it did.
Still, I think the box probably isn’t naturally haunted, but now has gathered a lot of negative energy on it.
Dybuk boxes are associated with witchcraft. What I think is interesting is you don’t understand the history of them and try to explain away it based on a false ideology of science. Are you not aware science is rooted in witchcraft and alchemy? That’s where the roots of it come from. You can call it a coincidence and by your logic then everything related to science is “coincidence”. I think more of the science believers need to study the history of science and it’s satanic roots.
No, it’s totally fake. The guy who created the story behind it has came out and said as such. No record of a “dybbuk box” exists prior to his original listing on eBay. It somehow storing “negative energy” is also complete bunk.
What's even more interesting, that thing isn't even *THE* Dybbuk Box, but one of many claimed to be similarly haunted. Apparently it was a Jewish belief that you could trap an evil spirit or entity within it with whatever items and seal it in wax to trap said spirit. Handful of other channels have done videos buying them on the dark web or ebay and opening them, then crazy things start happening to them. While I'm a believer in the paranormal as a whole, I dunno how much I buy a person opening a box that was claimed to have a few hundred year old angry spirit inside and the consequences that come along with doing so. I'm certainly no expert, nor am I interested in trying my luck, so personally.. I'd say plausible at best, no testing or analysis required on my part 😅
Is that the same story on Mr. Ballen?
Forgot to mention that all the scientists (working the demon core when it went critical) were demanded to go back to the spots they were standing, as Wells had told them that they were already dead, so they may as well get some more information out of it, such as radiation amount vs distance vs length of time it'd take for each scientist to die from being exposed.
This. Despite the tragedy of it, it's one of best sources of information on radiation poisoning and how fast it disappates away from the source

@@BeAmazed lol
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 best comment
You are watching a video about yourself
Elephant's poop?
Fun fact related to the grainy photos from Chernobyl. In 1945 scientists at Kodak surmised that a large nuclear reaction (explosion) had taken place due issues they were having with transporting x-ray film. They found trace amounts of the wrong kind of radiation in their raw materials that would later be named cesium-141 IIRC. They knew about the bomb months before the nuclear explosions in Japan.
There were only 3 weeks between Gadget explosion and Hiroshima bomb
The biggest problem with the annabelle doll 1 is that after you touch or insult it anything bad that happens you'll link to it, the only problem is bad things happen everyday to people who've never been near it, you're trying to draw a straight line to the doll not realising that the people there can't possibly go the rest of their lives without anything bad happening.

@@blarch2 I love how "global warming" made the ice recede to expose an animal that died 75 years ago... I guess that was just weather 75 years ago?
You forgot the AMAZING😲😉voice crack @ 27:47 😂😂😂😂
6:28 "The core was melted down and recast in a new weapon"... Thank goodness, the demon core has been rendered harmless...
I also called conversing with my ex-mother-in-law, "tickling the dragon's tail". Imagine to my amazement how I wasn't original at all, but the outcomes of either made things a lot worse.
Also, Slotin and his trusty screwdriver 100% reminds me of my narcissistic, late uncle who "saved the world" a few times, working at a big chemical company.
Hmmm Dr Who and his Sonic Screwdriver...
It's not unrealistic to think the author of the codex gigs maintained proper hand writing because he had an extreme attention to detail.
Also, it isn't handwriting, it's calligraphy.
@@AbsoRuud76 Yes they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I wish my handwriting was that good
It is unrealistic because again the time needed to write it would be impossible to maintain consistency. Just take the L on it and understand science doesn’t have the answer simple.
6:56 It's not "covered" in permafrost, the PF is 10's of cm or metres below the ground, covered by the "Active layer" which goes above zero every summer. Ironically, below the PF is non-frozen soil, that is kept warm by geothermal heat.
Don't tell them that, it makes all their "man-made climate change" story unbelievable
They claimed the deer was uncovered by climate change. But if it's 75 yrs old, that means 75 yrs ago that deer was on normal ground level. And was then covered. Seems " climate cycle " is more accurate.
Dude. That guy? Whyyy?
There’s a lot of “oops” in the video. I looked up your information and found even more fascinating stuff. If nothing else, the video had you comment, which led me to learning other new things … even with the errors
No, the Demon Core would not level the site if it went supercritical. It would simply melt down while irradiating everything around it. It requires a very carefully symmetric detonation to induce a nuclear explosion. Without the rest of the bomb around it, the core cannot do that.
Wasn't that very symmetrical explosion around it possible because fuses the Germans developed during the war? Weren't these fuses, their design, their inventor, and enough uranium powder or such captured aboard a submarine that was supposed to go to Japan? Isn't also true we didn't test that type of atomic bomb before using it because the Germans already had?
@@Tigerfire75 Timing the fuses is the key to creating the compression conditions. Can you give me a link to info about this?
@@Tigerfire75 sorry bud, but the first critical reaction in a controlled environment happened in Chicago.
not Germany.
If anyone is wondering how bad slotins situation was. Radiation causes immediate cell death. He was "litterally" dead the second the incident happened. His body just hadn't registered it yet, hence the little bit of time before the coma.
Lewis was dead the second he was hit by the radiation. He was a literal ghost. All the cells in his body lost the ability to regerate. Crazy story.
*REGENERATE
The Monk already had been working on the book for several years. It was a secret passion of his for many years. He was very wise in offering to complete a book that was already completed. He bargained for a day because he knew that was an impossible time frame and thus securing the deal. A day later he showed up with a complete book that he had been working on for the last 20 years.
A Wise man indeed.
Still does not explain the consistent handwriting. That's a good small piece to wonder about
It actually wasn't "radioactive atoms" that killed Slotin. It was gamma radiation, which is made of extremely high-energy photons.
To the layperson, same difference.
Thanks very much for clarifying something literally no one gives any kind of tiny shits about.
@@theoneway22 Thank you very much for the illustration of how someone with an insignificant intellect handles subjects they don't understand. But I hope your constipation resolves itself.
The photo of the elephants foot with the weird blurry lights is not caused by the radiation warping the photo, it is because the shutter speed was so low to capture the image in the low light and as the engineer moved around it left a blurry image of him moving. The light trail is his flashlight moving around.
On Chernobyl, they did NOT shut down the cooling system, the experiment was to disconnect the grid tie and use the electricity generated by the reactor as it shut down to run the cooling system. It was a non-standard test ordered by the management, supposedly under instruction from the KGB.
The iceman Otzi is a little bit of a stretch. A researcher dying of a medical complication some 14 years after the iceman’s discovery? Everybody associated with anything will eventually die if you stretch the time span out far enough.
It's the same with the King Tut curse.
Especially since Otzi was killed by an arrowhead.
Yep. an old person crashing and old person dying and 2 people in a high-risk environment dying is just statistics.
That's how so many of these so-called "curses" work. It's just frequency bias. Once we start looking for patterns, we'll notice them anywhere.
Also, even if 10 people associated with an object died within a week that would still be easily explainable. The world is incredibly vast, and trillions of events happen daily. If you observe enough events over a long enough period of time, some of them are going to be connected in crazy ways. That doesn't indicate that it means anything.
Ikr. It's like saying "all the people who worked on the construction of the pyramids of Giza were cursed, as to this day, they are all dead..."
Quick clarification: it was Dr. Richard Feynman - in asking Slotin NOT to do what he was doing - who actually coined the term, "tickling the dragons tail." Apropos, all the same.
The Annabelle story, it would be scientists are not allowed to do tests on it because the ones that want to do tests on it don’t get access to it. The owners simply will not have their myth be broken with test results, or Annabel might be just “kind of sleepy that day” as they would try retconning their way out of it
I totally remember them finding the Ice Man back in the early 90's, it was a popular topic for a little while as they tried to figure out whatever they could about him.
😄👍
I know it was a different time & security standards weren't the same but that scientist with the atomic core & screwdriver deserves a posthumous darwin award
There are a lot of videos about that incident. I believe that most of the guys in that died from radiation. When the flash happened the guy with the screw driver had everybody take a piece of chalk and mark an X on the lab floor to show there positions/distance from the core so that they could study the effects. He joined Madam Curie and the other early scientists who all studied radiation with fatal consequences
Agreed,my thoughts as well
Darwin awards are by definition posthumous.
@@TexasHoosier3118 Not necessarily. The award is for removing yourself from the gene pool. It doesn't require you also remove yourself from the population. As long as you can no longer reproduce, that's enough.
all darwin awards are posthumous
An interesting footnote to Slotin's death was a paper published saying that his left hand holding the shell also acted as a tamper and if he'd used a handle on the shell he wouldn't have died because not enough radiation would have been produced concluding "he'd died by his his own hand."
omg 💀
The man didn't have time. He may have died by his own hand, but he also died at his post.
“In simpler terms, *big badaboom* “
Had me on the floor laughing
About Herman the recluse.
It was not uncommon for monks to dabble in various activities like cheese making, wine making and transcribing texts.. I dont know if this was going on at that time.
But if he was a practiced scribe he could possibly have written a draft in the allotted time (which in theory could be close to a full day if the sentence was was dolled out early in the morning), where as the 75kg book could have been a further refined version of the draft + encapsulating the final version in a work of "art".
3:10
Imagine dealing with a nuke using a screwdriver.
He ended up dying
So I don't think that's a good idea
This guy…
🤡😵💀
Yeah what he did was incredibly stupid, more so because he knew how dangerous it was beforehand yet did it anyway, however I'd like to say some of this is on whoever his boss was as he should've been kicked out and banned from the premises after the first time he did it since he obviously can't follow simple safety procedures in what id assume is a high security facility
fun story to the elephants foot: they found an odd variant of black mold causing the structure to crumble. it thrives off of the Gamma radiation in a variation of photosynthesis
That's one man's hypothesis. It's far from being established as fact.
@@igrim4777 Extremophiles are common in nature however, especially simpler organisms, so it's a perfectly viable hypothesis.
Mold be like: Fuck sunlight, my homies eat dna ruining particles flying through the air
@@Si74l0rd even funnier is they think the mold came about as a direct result of the radiation, rather than evolving on its own
In the deep ocean, where light doesn't reach, organisms rely on chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis. The environment down there is insane. Like thermal vents have their own ecosystems, and whale falls provide an ecosystem as well.
I could totally see something adapting to make use of the radiation
If the reflector was closed completely, the result would be an extremely weak explosion. As the core heated up from the nuclear reactions, in would expand. This expansion would result in its density decreasing and therefore become subcritical.
That's why the actual warheads needed precisely-triggered explosives to implode the core evenly.
Japan didn't surrender because of the A-bombs. The capitulation contract was already to be signed. The only reason why they dropped them was to demonstrate their supreme power to Russia and since Germany already surrendered they used Japan as example. In fact, the first bomb was originally planned to be dropped on Berlin.
What to be learned from the demon core: laziness kills
Didn't need a radioactive ball to tell you that!
Fun fact about the evacuation of pripyet as well, it was filmed. If you watch the footage, you'll notice tiny white flashes. This is because the radiation was so high it was damaging the film. Another fun fact about the elephants foot is that it has its own name, chernobylite. The first samples were taken by the scientist borrowing an ak47 from the local police department and shooting samples off the elephants foot.
I thought it was called corium
Either way it looks awesome...
“Your dog is trash”
“What did yiu say!? Get em rufus!”
*causes chaos*
The demon core wouldn't have resulted in a nuclear explosion, the core did not have the necessary amount of fissile material and other components to sustain a self-sustaining chain reaction that would lead to a full-scale detonation.

LOUIS SLOTIN : After realizing his fatal mistake, looked up at his fellow scientists and gravely said..."I guess that does it" 😳!!! (ACTUAL QUOTE!!!) ☢️☠️. 😞
The Chernobyl incident was caused because of a reactor flaw that occurred during a safety test. The safety test was for the backup power system in the event of lost power output. If the turbine stopped moving, power would drop and the cooling system wouldn't circulate around the rods, so the test was to make sure the back up generators would kick in fast enough to keep the cooling system going. The plant kept failing the test for reactor #4.
2:41 it would not explode, it would create an insane amount of heat, a bright flash and a massive burst of radiation
Thank you for explaining how radiation kills. I was an AF vet who worked on guidance INE on certain missiles that I don't need to name, however no one ever was able to explain it the way you did, thank you.

It should be mentioned that the same "demon core" that killed Louis Slotin had 9 months before also killed his colleague Harry Daghlian, and Slotin had been involved in calculating his exposure. So he definitely knew what he was letting himself in for.
It *was* mentioned. Didn't you watch the video?
The demon core was actually turned into multiple other plutonium cores not just one other weapon... would have the same destructive force if it was all in one weapon which is what scared everyone into melting it down in the first place
The part about the Chenobyl disaster is so inaccurate it's basically misinformation!
What happened wasn't a "routine maintenance check" but a planned complex test of the power plant's systems. (A test the plant has failed numerous times before.) They didn't "turn off cooling systems to stop them from interfering with the test" but that was the *whole point* of the test. When there's an accident or malfunction, one system must keep operating, and that's the pumps moving coolant water through the reactor. If the pumps stop, the core is at risk of a meltdown. They were testing - when the main reactor fails - if the remaining momentum in the dying turbines can supply enough power to bridge time gap until the emergency diesel generators kick in. This test was supposed to be conducted at a high output, however the plant was running at minimal power for a very long time, causing the reactor to get stuck in a "xenon pit", which was causing problems. Standard procedure at this point is to shut down the reactor for 24 hours and then slowly restart it, but the plant operator wanted to complete the test immediately despite the dangers. He ordered the output to be raised significantly but the xenon was blocking the reaction in the cold reactor despite removing all the control rods. This basically pulled back the reactor like a slingshot. When the xenon burned off it shot the reactor into an uncontrolled overdrive with a massive power surge. They immediately pressed the scram button (AZ-5) that would drop all the control rods into the reactor, stopping it dead. Normally. However, due it's construction the control rods in this reactor were tipped with graphite, which instead of stopping, actually raised reactivity for a split second, which was enough for the reactor to go critical. The high pressure steam blew the cover off the reactor, which exposed the reactor and the accumulated hydrogen inside to the air, causing a massive explosion which destroyed the reactor building and sent insanely radioactive chunks of graphite and other material flying. The exposed fuel rods no longer had any cooling and thus turned into a superheated pool of radioactive corium which started to burn through the reactor casing and the concrete foundation beneath.
The control rods were not made of graphite, they were made of boron. Only the "displacer" tips of the rods were made of graphite which were used to control the reaction at a low power level but ultimately turned out to be a huge design flaw in the circumstances that led to the disaster.
Plant workers didn't "rush to shut the reactor down" as there was no reactor to shut down at this point. Also, "meanwhile" the people of Pripyat were told nothing! It was only a full 36 hours after the disaster when the evacuation actually started, way too late.
The crew didn't "discover" the Elephant's Foot, they knew it was there, of course they knew, they just couldn't get anywhere close to it due to the radiation and the whole thing burning like the surface of the Sun. Also, they didn't take the picture with a "rigged up remote camera". The amount of radiation coming off the thing destroyed every device in seconds. In fact, no one could even look at the thing without risking certain death. They made that first picture from the end of the corridor using a mirror.
An interesting fact about the Daghlian criticality; it wasn't the initial prompt excursion that killed him. If he had thought about it and just walked away from the core for a couple days, he would have been alright, though probably more prone to cancer later on. What killed him was the high-energy fission products resulting from the initial criticality, but they would have burned off in a day or so. He got the lethal dose when he carried the core back to the safe it came from. There are instances when it's not good to follow your mother's advice to always put things back where you found them -- at least right away.
Just don't go back to fireworks?
these would be the neutrons, not some magical particles. We know, at least those that went to elementary school, what fission is and how it works. Energy from fission is released as heat and radiation.
@@Ludak021 It wasn't the neutrons that killed him, it was the gamma. The most the neutrons did was to activate some atoms into isotopes, which would have likely caused problems down the line, but the photons killed him first.
@@Ludak021 who tf teaches nuclear fission to kids in elementary school?
Correct!
One thing to note about the robotic camera he said that was used to take a picture of the elephant foot. When they opened the door that sealed the corridor down to where elephants foot had leaked too there counters showed deadly levels of radiation.
In order to get a picture of the elephants foot they place the camera that they were going to use for damage. Analysis placed it on a chair and they rolled it down. They took the picture and they pulled the chair back using rope.
First clip. Even back then, its so hard to believe that scientists were allowed such stupid ability to ignore serious safety precautions.
Back in the good ole days.. Now you can't sue companies for fucking you over..
The plutonium ball of course! I had no idea it was so tame but could turn super deadly without any trigger explosives like in a bomb.
The guy who decided to "tickle the dragon's tail" with a screwdriver ended up getting "burned" by the dragon.
'Burned by the dragon's Dick'
I totally forget that the Demon Core was originally code named Rufus. To this day I still can't swallow that bit with the flathead screwdriver, the boldness of it is utter madness!
Can't really say I feel sorry for that guy.
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
I actually made a calc on how strong the demon core is based on the "3,000,000,000,000,000" fission reactions thing
The demon core, allegedly, created around 96 Kilojoules of energy with that split second reaction
For reference, the minimum amount of energy required to destroy a WALL is 15 Kilojoules. Less than a SIXTH of what the core allegedly created based on your statement
And for ANOTHER reference, an F1 GRENADE creates 276 Kilojoules, which means the demon core had slightly more than a third of the power of a grenade
If the radiation didn't killed Louis, that burst of energy definitely would've
Just in the last 800,000 years, there have been eight cycles of ice ages and warmer periods, with the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era - and of human civilization.
14:23 If the devil’s page is darkest because it was the most viewed, surely the heaven page would also be equally as exposed and be just as dark. I call BS.
Which it is.
5:21 welp, thats why you don't tickle any dragons tail
😂
It's called Ôtzi, from the place he was found, The "Ötztaler Alpen"
The bomb you showed at 1:32 in conjunction is the wrong type for that core, "Rufus" was designed for a "Fat Man" type, because Pu cores are implosion-type, not the gun-type that the ""Little boy", which you showed used, those used U235.
I'm surprised James Deans car, the one he crashed that killed him, wasn't brought up on the list of items considered cursed. Seems that everyone who used parts from his crashed car were killed by it in some way.
Anything saying scientists have examined and are afraid of it?
@evtaku the wreckage of the car itself vanished and has never been relocated so scientists can’t test it. That’s probably a good thing because everyone who has touched the car or used parts of it in their cars were later found dead… that’s what I call a cursed car
i’ve heard of the post malone thing. Zak bagans, the museum owner, touched the dybbuk box himself and also had really bad luck after a month of doing so.
Slotin's drama-soaked insanity wasn't just foreshadowed; it was WARNED about. Enrico Fermi, SLOTIN'S BOSS, warned him directly about his reckless approach to playing with the dragon core, saying, "You'll be dead within the year, if you keep doing that." Rumor has it that he was a glutton for attention, adding needless fanfare to an already highly dangerous situation. He got off on doing it the risky way for oohs and ahhs from spectators.
If the monk in question had secretly written the Codex Gigas than of course he could pretend a super human feat and produce a Codex overnight. It's obviously hoaxed how it was produced.
I'm frightened by the Elephant's foot.. something that can be seen, explained, has a horrific tragic tale behind it and can literally destroy your DNA which makes us unique and well.. us? I'm fascinated but absolutely frightened 😨😵
If it makes you sleep better, it's no longer as radioactive as it was when it first formed, but you still don't want to be around it for several minutes.
The most dangerous radioactive elements, always have half-lives in the order of seconds and minutes.
A random rock on the ground most likely has a half-life in the order of several hundreds of thousands of years.
And then there's the cosmic rays, which destroy your DNA every day, but that's not really a problem since your body can repair that amount of damage.
almost every day you may be do some more frighting. oh, need long explaine/
Everage europian car oner gave 10 000$ to Putin for genocide of sirians chechens ukrainians.
Ukraine gave up on West pressure and hang out 2400 thermonuclear bombs + 1000 nuclear bombs. => now 300 000+ ukrainians paid own lives for this mistake. So NO more countries refuse nuclear weapon. So more and more countries will have nuclear weapon. => after 10-20-30 years such lovely organisations like ISIS will get thetmonuclear bombs. and it will be ORDENARY thing: when somebody evaporete nuclear plant by thermonuclear bomb, which easily stored in car
so 10-30 yeas and you will enjoy of World of TOTALUS aaaaa Big Brother Watch You
Oruel's 1984 - is a baby ..... compare with reality
I really think we need to discuss the definitions of "cursed" and "fear"... Not messing with extraordinarily dangerous things like radioactive substances doesn't make it cursed or you afraid 🤔
I'd say at this point, those are phrases used to echo a more superstitious time. And a rational person should definitely be afraid of invisible killers. It's just that for the longest time we were scared of ghosts and demons when we really should have been afraid of viruses and radioactive elements.
Maybe it was just for clickbait🧐
@@joshuamarvin7400 Hey, just curious if you have any thoughts on the beings some people claim to meet while under DMT use. Do you believe in the possibility of other-dimensional beings? Edit: I do largely agree w your observation btw.
Words change over time. My favorite example is that "gay" used to mean cheerful/happy.
you don't get views by using mild language. I'm surprised he didn't put *"TERRIFYING"* in there somewhere like all the other clickbait titles
Bro, I live in America and now you’re telling me there’s this disease that can make me ill I’m fleeing the country
3:40 - I don't think it was blue light.... That's Cherenkov radiation.... which I believe is an interaction with heavy water.....
The scientist was definitely proof there's a difference between being educated and being intelligent
Take your 100 iq and become a nuclear physicist.
I would but rather not nuclear energy is something I feel we don't have the wisdom necessary to use correctly. Also, going around assuming people iqs usually leaves you looking like the biggest dummy in the room more often than not.
@Script Flippa I mean, we have plenty of wisdom on how to use it correctly. Letting the tip of a screwdriver decide whether you live or die just isnt it lol.
Hell Holes indicate more methane escaping from warming tundra. I've read it is a LOT of greenhouse gas. As the tundra becomes warmer, it would double the amounts of greenhouse gas over a small period of time.
Well, in terms of green house effect, methane is about 30 times stronger than CO2. So releasing X amount of methane gives the 30 times the negative effect you would get with X amount of CO2.
However, most CO2 currently released into the atmosphere comes from animal farming (mostly cows), not from methane(hydrate) which is melting due to global warming. But if temperature continues to go up, that will change...
correction: no radioactive particles can enter the body from outside. the tickling dragon guys got radiated by gamma rays. gamma is em-radiation (light) and not particles like alpha (helium) or beta decay (electrons) particles can only penetrate a few millimetres or less.
Nope, beta can absolutely penetrate the skin. Alpha is also far from harmless
Walter Tschinkel, the inventor of this technique will forever be one of my heroes.
An interesting detail regarding "curses" causing people to die: unless something dramatically changes, we all still die with or without a curse.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
wow, an old man died 14 years after finding otzi? it's almost like he was old!
"we all still die with or without a curse." is the most alt punk album name i've ever heard
This video shouldn't even mention curses It's about science right curses aren't science.
urmom is a curse
11:50 so basically the earth farted?
😭💀
Best take of all comments on the video, hands down.
"It was about a million times smaller than those first atomic bombs".
According to the historic photograph the reaction took place at the end of Bro's "floor jack".
Now as a man and having been a young fella myself at one time. I've been known to have put my "floor jack" in...let's say... harms way.
But not with 3 quadrillion reactions going off!😮
I love how he makes videos like this….. it’s like I’m addicted
If it's a "curse" then scientist aren't scared of them. If there's a scientific reason to be scared of something like the elephants foot and it's radiation, then they're probably scared of that. But not really"curses".
What if they believe in the supernatural?
@@MrFossil367ab45gfythThen they're not a Scientist. Now if they believe in the Bible & claimed to be a Scientist, that would be possible. Many correlations between Science & God. So much so that when Stephen Hawkins was doing his research, he was constantly headed to conclusions of affects by God. He tried to deny his results time & again. Finally he just ignored those results, he died about 5 years later. God is real!
"Tickling the dragon's tail..." LMAO
The methane that is released from the permafrost ia a perfect positive feedback loop for global heating as Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas. Really Terrifying.
I have a set of instructional DVDs that everyone whom I offered to give it to, died one way or another. First one was a dear friend of mine. That devistated me but I never made the connection until later. I offered it to 2 more people after that. Each of them died shortly after before getting the set.
Needless to say, I stopped offering it to others after several people died. I feel terrible after this. It's cursed for anyone else except me.
I'm not kidding.
Everyone dies one way or another eventually.
@2:30 it's called prompt critical, and no, it would not explode. It would merely irradiate everyone around it.
Someone, who is unable to grasp the actual danger of a thing or the amount of risk in their method and hence isn't careful around it, is not actually daring or corageous. He was a careless idiot and he died because of it and probably shortened the lives of those in the room with him by decades. Just like stumbling isn't an act of athleticism, there is nothing courageous about this.
@ 2:35 thats in inaccurate assumption about the Core, dropping the fully enclosed Beryllium tamper wouldnt result in a detonation, a detonation can only be achieved by compressing the sphere or colliding another subcritical mass into it at a very high speed.
All because of a slipped screwdriver. Honestly a Darwin award.
Man can you imagine how that guy felt?!?! Imagen having your skin melting down from your bones and flesh DAMN
@@faz-member6423except that didn’t happen
True
Haha basically, should have called it the wedgey thingy in betweeny death technique
This channel is very addictive... in the last 10 months I haven't missed a single upload 😂😂
2:38 okay, I’m stupid slow, so let me get this straight- according to this video, basically they were able to make a three and a half inch subcritical sphere of Plutonium, and could trigger a supercritical reaction, essentially setting a nuclear explosion extremely inefficient but an actual BOOM if that half shell of Beryllium snugly hugged the former , and they were doing this with a gloved hand, like two kids playing matches in a gunpowder magazine tower???
The thing I fear most is being in close proximity to reckless idiots. Louis Slotin reminds me of the times in my life I’ve been the passenger in a car driven by someone with no business being behind the wheel.
Fun fact: The demon core wouldn't actually leave much of a crater. It would barely go boom even, as it would evaporate under its own heat before it can release enough energy. This is why nuclear bombs have such elaborate contraptions in them. They are designed to make sure that the time before the energy released could push it into a subcritical mist/liquid would be long enough for a boom.
Nuclear material in nuclear bombs is compressed by explosives to release the entire energy stored in said material in a split second. This is done because there's still gigantic gaps of void empty space even between atoms which drastically reduces the chance of a neutron hitting another to enter fission, especially in the abscence of moderators like those used in nuclear reactors lowering speed to make collisions and this fission reactions more likely. The faster a neutron moves the lower chance for it to hit something and compressing the fission material with conventional explosives exactly works around that issue by compressing the atoms of plutonium or uranium closer together and reducing the empty space between their atoms. This also results in a lower aount of fission material required for a bomb because only the compression together with the inserted neutron source will cause the nuclear fuel to go supercritical, uncompressed nothing happens at all because our bomb is not dense enough yet to initiate a chain reaction converting the entire material into energy in an instant.
It would have done nothing. The blue flash was the duration of the fission event. A high negative coefficient shut down the reaction as the Pu and Be heated long before the reflectors were flung aside.
One of the best thing i love hearing is professionals decoding the mysteries which people whould have belived as curses, deamons and spiritual entities if it were not for them...
"In the end of days the sons of men will belittle the truth of light, and worship those who spread falsehoods as if"
Yezabia 10:6
And I love hearing when they can't debunk it and end up having to admit spiritual exists and so does God. ;)
@@epic7224 and I also love how they ignore all the debunking they got on there face and all they can do is act like nothing happened...
science' never said spiritual being doesn't exist. All it did was explained stuff how they work actually where people belived was spiritual being's doings...
Try going through some history lessons to know how the world was then and now...
@@epic7224 in the end of the day its your decision...
Go do a sacrificial ritual by offering a kids life so the crops could grow...
@@epic7224
Uh-huh?
When did you hear that?
Who had to 'admit spiritual exists?'
What couldn't be debunked?
Be as detailed as you like.
That clip of Frank shaking his head killed me. Thanks! 👍
codex gigas originates from Bohemia and came to sweden as spoils of war sometimes in the 17th century.....
That’s actually a very interesting thing to think about. How do you scientifically test if something is possessed by a spiritual entity? Something that most scientific equipment is unable to perceive. If they ever figure out how to, I would love to learn about it 😊
and yet scientists say heaven's not real, without evil there can't be good, the Bible was made in what year? (before what 2000 AD?)
@@happymaster3290 the bible has also been edited by corporations for hundreds of years., Nothing in that hell hole is real
@@happymaster3290 there is no such thing as good or evil except to humans, so in the real world there is no difference.
well i had done the suggestion if demons exsist
lots things scince dosent know like we know HOW gravity works we know HOW things live and die but do we know WHY THAT WAY AND NOT ANOTHER WAY?!?! nope wstill searching
”The Devil is in the Details”. Yes. It is. First of all, the fire did not start in the library, but in the attic above the national hall. And the Codex Gigas was one of many that survived the fire. The fire was started by a chimney that was leaking (for those that dont know, if a chimney is leaking, heat escapes and might set fire to flamable objects. So a dusty attic is ideal). So yeah… details. Many more in that part of the list alone.
The toy companies of the era missed a great opportunity. "Demon Core" would have been a perfect name for a game something along the lines of "Time Bomb", if anybody remembers that.
By the by for anyone coming to this video - it’s widely reported that as soon as Louis S saw the blue flash and knocked the tamper over, the first thing he said was
“Well. That’s it.”
The segment of the bacteria beneath the Russian permafrost is one of the themes of the video game The Talos Principle, but in that case the entirety of mankind is wiped out.
My mom was there when the accident happened when she was 12 she did kinda get affected but didn't rilly affect her but she got slower at cleaning her own home
The Codex Gigas has a body count of at least 1
since it was said it was once pushed out the window of a castle where it unfortunately hit someone
23:04 Oh come on. Donna was not alone in the house, sleepwalking is a thing, and those "claw marks" ? They've just been "wrestling" in the sheets.
23:51 Another mischaracterization. They didn't take it in for testing because *it's a doll.* What would they test it for? There's no way to chemically prove it's haunted! You think someone who studied science is going to take it home and what? Poor "holy water" on it to see what it does? It's offencive to even suggest this. They would be asking themselves: "Wth am I doing here with a doll? I'm a scientist! Not some ghost-believing fool!"
I've heard of this Dybbuk box on a few different channels. But this is the first time I've ever heard that Post Malone was part of the chain of events.
