This is the best footage of a giant and mighty thermonuclear shell I have ever seen until today. Perfectly presented as an air burst in suitable height to allow the fireball to grow completely in all directions without any flattening due to eventual limitations through the ground. 🎆🔥
@@curiousoddity Yes, but there is far to less mass to keep the fusion stable for longer time, especially in presence of a far bigger mass nearbye (our earth). By the way according to my minor astrophysical knowledge a stable fusion feedback fusion reaction primary from heavy Hydrogen to Helium is possible up to mass of at multiple (at least 20 ?!?) masses of Jupiter. Than it may be possible to keep running a ignited fusion reaction as a very tiny and weak star if there is enough space for it's gravity field.. On the other hand scientists currently try in China to establish a stable fusion reaction like a star I have read about. But as an engineer I cannot imagine how this may work.
It's the exact same premise. That's not a firewall by the way. It's a ball of thermonuclear plasma. The literal same stuff our sun is made out of. For all intents and purposes it is creating a star on a miniscule scale.@@curiousoddity

Incredible and terrifying. I'm glad humans have somewhat learned their lessons and never used these in modern war, not that war is any less gruesome and heartbreaking without these but you get the idea.
@@slooob23 99% of the time when a scientist or an engineer says the word "hot" they mean temperature. Imagine anyone saying that the Arctic ocean is hotter than a campfire because it technically releases more heat as radiation.
@@Bartekkru100 not a good analogy. Nuclear weapons are not 'hotter' than the sun in any practical sense. They very VERY briefly have a higher 'temperature' inside the bomb casing at the moment of detonation, and that's it. Yes they produce devastating 'heat' around the target, no they are not 'hotter' than the sun. It's like saying the earths thermosphere is hotter than the surface, which of course it isn't, even though it's at a higher temperature.
This looks like it was filmed at night around a 100 miles away from the blast through a very dark lens, which is why it dimmed so fast. The explosion took place several miles high and one can see the bottom flatten out as the shock wave bounced off the earth and smacked into the bottom of the 'fireball'. The ball was perhaps 4-5 miles in diameter and the visible shock wave across the ground spread out across maybe 25 miles in diameter... I stand to be corrected if one knows better, thanks.
There is a clearly difference between fision and fusion bombs, this one is a thermonuclear one, the light from the plasma lasts more than the fision ones
To an alien in Earths orbit. When they saw us firing off nukes. They must've been the equivalent of a parent freaking out that their kids found the matches and are playing with them.
@@adjuster57Right, they'd be like don't go to Earth, there is a race of highly advanced primates that has taken over the planet and they have managed to harness the power of a star and use it as a weapon. They are a highly unstable species and prone to incredible violence, do not go anywhere near there.
A comment below compares this to a star, but it's not quite comparable due to the speed of the reaction and the density of the starting materials. A star is more like a nuclear reactor in an equilibrium of heat generated vs loss. In the case of a bomb, the fission reaction in the trigger is completed in tens of nanoseconds. The fusion reaction doesn't lag far behind, and the entire nuclear physics part is completed in the nanosecond to low microsecond scale of time. And, this is all happening in dense, crystalline materials (condensed matter) that were solids literally nanoseconds before the initiation. Suddenly, you have a few hundred kg of material what was at room temperature a few moments ago, which is now a plasma at hundreds of millions of deg. C. - yet at the same density, and it will expand violently, following closely behind the blast of photons, neutrons and neutrinos. This is a uniquely designed and purposeful thing, by humans, and I am sure if there are alien beings out there observing, they will know exactly what is is... The energy density of something like this is absolutely staggering. There aren't many things in the universe that exceed it, Type 1A supernovae for example.
This test was conducted mid day at 3:19pm. They used a special lens since the explosion is so incredibly bright. Most of these tests were conducted during the day. If you have welders goggles or solar eclipse glasses they work the same way the lens works in the video. Without these lenses you won’t be able to see anything atoll.
@@robbie_it's not primary or secondary difference that you see as the double flash. It happens because the inital x-ray heated plasma air is opaque to visible light and therefore hides all light after initial flash. Then it cools slightly allowing the full burst of light to go through now translucent air resulting in the second flash that last longer. Every nuke works in this way
The second pulse happens as the hot air from the centre expands and catches the surface of the fireball, due to which it increases the temperature of the surface of the sphere and hence the second burst of light.
Terrifying but beautiful. As crazy as it sounds, I kind of hope I get the chance to witness a nuclear test in person before I die. With the CTBT, that seems unlikely, which is obviously a good thing, but it's still a little disappointing, lol
'The sky's all fire from that nuclear flash.' And . . .if you can correctly name the 1970s band and track from which this line comes - you can get a free ticket to see the film 'Oppenheimer' !
Why does it look so red? I would guess the light would be quite white, considering the plasma would be at a few tens of thousands of degrees for the first seconds.
if you play the video frame by frame, at the start i gets bright, and then gets dark, and brighter again. they usually get brighter and brighter then fade in intensity, any idea why this is? is this due to the type of camera? or part of the reaction? Even with 2 stage thermo nukes, the reaction is so fast they usually look like atom bombs like how I described with brighter and brighter...
