    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.

    • @domvasta
      @domvasta Год назад +108

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      As a long retired Professor of Plasma physics and Quantum ElectroDynamics, a former Chief Scientist for a 3-Letter Agency, & very, very much more, I am intimately familiar with this incident.
      Laziness had absolutely nothing to do with the profoundly unwise 'technique' being demonstrated.
      At that time, and for quite some time thereafter, the link between Cherenkov Radiation and the resulting fatal results was, at best, poorly understood.
      The spacers on the quite heavy thick lead cover made handling the cover unacceptably difficult and time-consuming. The flat bladed screwdriver allowed it to be used as a lever to help lift the obviously unacceptably heavy cover that had no handles. If there had been any reasonable understanding as to how much damage the Plutonium ball was doing to everyone even remotely close to the ball, it should have been behind a thick lead (Pb) wall. My PhD advisor, Professor Richard Feynman, who was well acknowledged to be the most brilliant man on our planet, later died from one of the various unique cancers caused by his close work on the first bombs.
      It is ever so easy to criticize with nearly 70 years of hindsight and open knowledge of so many things that could not even be wildly imagined at that time.
      Despite what is stated in the video, by just being as close to the Plutonium as he was, he was already receiving a lethal dose, just not so much that would kill him quickly. All such neutron ionizing radiation is cumulative, something we know now and why but utterly unknown at that time.
      The age old adage: "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." applies quite accurately here.

      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...

    2:35 super criticality is not an explosion, it is just a chain reaction that sustains itself for miliseconds or indefinately, depending on the environment, just like a nuclear power plant. It is impossible to detonate radioactive material without compressing it to mind blowing pressures. That is why detonating atomic bomb is so hard, you must detonate explosives around the core in such precise timing, that the shockwave of the explosion manages to evenly compress the core allowing it to explode. Even a tiny error in timing and you are just left with vapourised radioactive stuff flying in all direstions. And still less then 10% of the material undergoes fision in an atomic explosion. So please do more research.

    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.

    • @shadowmystery5613
      @shadowmystery5613 Год назад +1

      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.

    • @neon-john

    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.
