  • “Sierra” was just crowned the second-most powerful supercomputer on the planet. And while most of its peers use their power for climate simulations, astrophysics, and other civilian work, Sierra is purpose-built for an entirely different mission: nuclear weapons. We took a tour of this massive system, and found out why the US builds supercomputers to support its nuclear arsenal.

      That's the wrong question in my opinion. The question should be; Can we ever get rid of nuclear weapons? The answer is, sadly, no. It's a pandora's box that has been opened and cannot be closed on the world. Just like humans discovering fire or the firearm once something is discovered it cannot be "un-discovered". Someone, somewhere will have a nuclear bomb. It's best to be prepared for it by having your own.

      @erudolph 4 года назад +4

      I understand your concern, but to have nothing we would have to assume that the world is full of humans who respect life and honor homeland rights, which is not the case. Unfortunately, the world has shown over and over that there are countries where their philosophy is to raid, conquer and destroy. Our stockpile serves as a deterrent more than anything to Russia and China, where dictators and other rulers have constant tension with the US. It's not bad to have a gun in your house if all the criminals have them too. Please note that I am not equating other countries with criminals, but rather making a separate analogy. The people of China and Russia are wonderful.

      @@bimasetyaputra8381 They need to be armed first. They don't arm them they're ready to launch, on top of that, some missiles will arm in transit to the target after already launching.
      Other than some radiation, an unarmed nuclear warhead atop a ICBM in a silo is pretty benign.
      Edit: It's the same reason Anti-ICMB missiles work as well as they do. Just because the nuclear warhead is intercepted, doesn't mean the resulting collision and explosion is enough to set off the warhead. Nuclear warheads are *very* complicated, and don't just randomly explode :)

      If it weren't for our nuclear stockpile providing deterrent to massively oppressive and dangerous regimes as Russia and China, you wouldn't have the freedom to study cancer. You naive snowflakes really believe the world outside the mean 'ol US is sunshine and rainbows.

      @@jamescarter8311 Well, I don't even live in the US.
      You say "dangerous regimes", but then I think China or Russia aren't much worse then the USA. With this mentally ill guy, controlling the country. You may think the US is the good one and the rest are the enemies, but I don't see it like that. You are an evenly big threat to them as they are to you.
      You think it's good guys (you) Vs bad guys (Russia and China), but it doesn't work like that.
      And peace based on fear is never a good thing by the way.
