If You Detonated a Nuclear Bomb In The Marianas Trench

"As experience shows, in the end humans are no fools."

A few responses to that line. Pick your favorite:

* HAH!

* Their "experience" must be very different from mine...

* ...Wait, was this video made before November 8th 2016?

So many videos that are potentially interesting lose me about a minute in, due to this infantile pop-up rebus style of presentation and editing. You don't have to wave a baby rattle in front of my face to hold my attention, it's insulting.

A nuke with "sheer" AND "unadulturated" power?

Wow, sounds very different from all the other nukes with opaque and combination power.

Great writing.

well we better do it then to find out

kind of like how in Calvin and Hobbs the Dad explains how bridge load limits are set

I wonder how much of this is based on actual science? My guess is not much.

So much bullshit, so little time. My favorite? "Thr Tsar Bomba was dropped from the same height as the depth of the Marianas Trench. Coincidence? I think not."! Seriously? The Great Blue Hole in Belize is the same depth as the height of the Great Pyramid. Coincidence? Of course it fucking isn't!

You all are right to call BS on this video. Its trash.

The earthquake that caused the 2004 tsunami in Sumatra released a total of 9 600 000 megatons of energy....that's a bit more than 50 megatons. I don't know though, I'm not a math major.

This earthquake didn't make new continents, nor did it cause an ice age by pushing earth a significant distance away from the sun. So I'm going to guess that neither would this bomb.

The portion of the 2004 earthquake's total energy that was released on the surface of the sea floor was only 26 megatons and it was released a lot less quickly than the detonation of the Tsar bomba, I'll give ya that.

Probably generate a Tsunami, but not a large one. Large natural tsunamis, like those in 2004 and 2011, are generated by very sudden movement of the ocean floor over a large area; the 2004 Sumatra quake lifted the sea floor several meters, very rapidly, along a 1600 km long section of fault, displacing a total of 30 cubic kilometers of water. Google "what does a cubic kilometer look like". Its a lot of water.

Not sure if the bomb can move that much water at a single site; I don't think it replicates the right "mechanics" of large scale tsunami generation....
