Date: October 26th, 2025 3:25 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK imagine an old fashoined cannon from the 19th century, except instead of iron balls it shoots uranium. Imagine there's another cannon ball made of uranium at the other end the barrel. You drop this cannon from and airplane, and when it reaches a certain altitude, the cannon fires one uranium cannonball into the other uranium cannonball.
Imagine a nuclear explosion like this: if you make a uranium cannonball bigger and bigger, eventually you'll make one so big it constitutes "critical mass." Imagine that's when all hell breaks loose. It's just a physical property of Uranium 235, just accept it.
So you make two cannonballs, each of them about 60% of critical mass. Neither cannon ball on its own will do shit. You can hold them in your bare hands. But when you pull the trigger and the two cannon balls collide, they will collectively achieve 120% of critical mass. The math is that simple. Nukes are that easy to understand.
If you're wondering whether it's possible to make small tactical nukes or EMP nukes that only emit certain forms of radiation, the answer is absolutely. The maths are the same. Just tweak some shit. One of the things u can do is vary the rate at which all hell breaks loose, i.e. you can speed it up or slow it down, but that has to do with explosive lensing, which is the only part that's top secret |

No one is trying to make the detonations happen faster. It's literally like designing a camera lens in that you're trying to bend these electromagnetic waves the way a lens bends photons, and there's something like a "Group f/64" where all the wizards are competing against each other (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5790088&forum_id=2/#49376433) |

Date: October 26th, 2025 4:09 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Here's another real simple math analogy.
Suppose you're the ruler of a Chinese village, and your goal is to ensure there are an equal number of men and women in the village, so that no one will ever be single.
In order to do this, the total population of the village has to be some multiple of two. If there are 238 people living in the village, that's just 119x2.
But what if there are only 235 people living in the village? You can't divide that into whole numbers by 2. So there must be an imbalance in the male to female ratio.
Of course the village with 235 is going to be more "unstable" now. You already know it just by doing a population count. You know that village will be less cohesive, more prone to violence even. That's why we want Uranium 235, not 238 |

Date: October 26th, 2025 4:52 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK here's another thing that's real easy to understand: when a nuclear bomb detonates, a certain amount of deadly but invisible radiation will kill everyone within a certain radius. Think of it as the the three point line on a basketball court. Anyone standing within the three-point line should die instantly. But their bodies wouldn't show any signs of injury. They would look like victims of chemical weapons.
What's actually variable is the size of the fireball that will soon thereafter consume these dead corpses no one will ever see. Think about it. You're standing at ground zero, and you're already dead before anyone feels the ambient temperature rise. By the time there's an actual fireball, you're already long past det. Furthermore, you can dial up the fireball and make it big enough to blow up the whole basketball court.
When they engineered fat man and little boy, they deliberately made the fireball big enough to burn the bodies of people killed by gamma radiation, because they knew if they just caused radiation deaths it would look like we used chemical weapons. People would accuse us of lying and using chemical weapons. So we deliberately cranked up the fireball to go a little bit past the 3-point line to ensure it all got burned down and left no traces of the radiation damage. |
