The video discusses the hypothetical scenario of detonating the most powerful nuclear weapon at the deepest point of the ocean, the Mariana Trench. The Mariana Trench is a very deep valley, almost three times deeper than the dark grave of the Titanic, and one of the last places on Earth for humans to explore.
The video describes the detonation of the RDS-220 hydrogen bomb, also known as the Tsar Bomber, which is the most powerful nuclear bomb humans have ever exploded. The bomb's explosion is so massive that its shock wave traveled around the Earth three times and its mushroom cloud stretched 56 kilometers into the sky.
The video then explains that if we set off a nuclear bomb in the Mariana Trench, it would create a blinding flash of light and a flaming bubble of water vapor, radioactive nuclei, and the remains of very unlucky fish. The bubble would grow quickly as it vaporizes the water around it, and the pressure of the bubble is immense, plowing outwards as if there's nothing in the way.
The bubble would grow to 10 kilometers the second after it's detonated, but the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is enormous, with 11 kilometers of water overhead. The bubble starts to shrink as it overextends itself, losing pressure as it expands. Eventually, the pressure around it is too great and turbulent water begins to chop it up.
The video concludes by stating that the real danger comes from the explosion triggering earthquakes and volcanoes. However, the strongest forces humanity can unleash are laughable compared to the forces of nature, and the planet is too big to care. Therefore, if a nuclear weapon is detonated deep in the ocean, pretty much nothing would happen.
1. The text discusses the potential effects of detonating the most powerful nuclear weapon at the deepest point of the ocean, which is the Mariana Trench.
2. The Mariana Trench is a very deep valley located at the edge of two tectonic plates, and it reaches a depth of about 11 kilometers.
3. The Mariana Trench is one of the last places on earth for humans to explore, as it is pitch black and under a thousand atmospheres of pressure.
4. The Mariana Trench is a relatively pristine environment, thanks to the absence of humans.
5. The most powerful nuclear bomb humans have ever exploded is the RDS-220 hydrogen bomb, also known as the Tsar Bomber.
6. The explosion of the Tsar Bomber was so massive that its shock wave traveled around the earth three times, and its mushroom cloud stretched 56 kilometers into the sky.
7. The shock wave of the explosion was strong enough to destroy everything in a thousand square kilometers.
8. The bombs like the Tsar Bomber release such an enormous amount of energy at once that they could boil away an entire lake.
9. If a nuclear bomb were set off in the Mariana Trench, it would create a fireball bubble that would grow to 10 kilometers the second after it's detonated.
10. The pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is enormous, with 11 kilometers of water overhead.
11. The bubble created by the explosion would grow to 10 kilometers the second after it's detonated.
12. The bubble overextends itself, losing pressure as it expands, until the water turns it back, recompressing it.
13. The bubble shrinking and growing until eventually the bubble loses for good.
14. The pressure around the bubble is too great and turbulent water begins to chop it up.
15. The bubble disintegrates into many smaller hot and radioactive bubbles drifting upwards.
16. The radioactive fallout will be diluted into the Pacific after a few days.
17. The strongest forces humanity can unleash are laughable compared to the forces of nature.
18. The planet is too big, and it doesn't care so what happens to us if we designate a nuclear weapon really deep in the ocean.
19. If a nuclear weapon were detonated deep in the ocean, pretty much nothing would happen.
20. Over 1000 people have got their own bird, and it helps them explain things in their videos.
