I've heard tales of laser ignited fusion...... More complicated and needs one heck of a power source, but doable. Particularly if just trying to kick-start a bomb. I've also heard that He³ has very little ionizing radiation associated with it. All the boom, none of the unwanted side-effects :evil:

25 on Richter's, bruh 12 is already the max and would feel like an apocalypse

Reaction Suggestion: Starv Harv’s ‘Ruining WWII with bad translations’ (Just to laugh at)

has this been censored?

I saw you watched some stuff on neutron stars. "But Why" is a youtube channel (ButWhySci) that has a video that goes deep into the physics of the formation and stuff. I recommend their "stellar corpses", then "a detailed breakdown of core collapse supernova" (minute by minute "why do small supernovae do X while large ones do Y") and then "astro alchemy: where rare elements come from". Their explainers on the balances of processes that we just found out in the last 50 years are pretty amazing (they're good with graphics). A simpler one would be Crash Course Astronomy's two videos on neutron stars / supernovas which go into that stellar process. All of them are like 14 minutes each.

14:10 Now you see why this is memed about so much. Playing with the demon core with just a screwdriver propping it open just...why? It's not even like you can get a precise measurement of the angle of the top half of the sphere while both your hands are occupied, nor do you have a hand free to operate any measuring devices or take notes, so one has to question what useful scientific purpose doing it this way ever served.

The United States does not now nor has it ever used the imperial system. American customary units and imperial unit are quite different.

I can’t believe you accurately predicted the ending punchline.

"Tuhmaydahs"

9:12 unless its Soviet Union and your boss told you to do that or else.

At least biomass ash isn’t radioactive like coal ash

lol imagine at the end if he tested the wooden box the press came in and it was better than the wood he made! That’d be hilarious.

You should watch SmarterEveryDay sonic baseball

as Randall Munroe has stated either in one of his talks or the intro of one of his books, these what-if questions are to be approached from a mindset of "assume we set the world up in this way. we don't care how it got there, we are just setting it up and hitting play"

In the game, MOST of the delivery systems are aircraft(the 50's aesthetic) so MOST of the weapons in game are closer to older lower yeild free fall bombs. Missiles etc were actually rare in game. The book be mentioned from the F1 game is just stating ACTUAL weapon facts,not the ones in game, also people should ask the game devs and show's producers

Did you forget to do an intro because the whole Hi im tyler folse intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wouldn't even be able to dive deep enough to get to the fuel assemblies

Wiring up 4 UPS SLA batteries in series kinda scares me because I know how much potential there is with 4 fully charged SLA which is over 52Volts.

which is always the case right, if you have a model, the details that are real predictions are only ever the observables, there are no other solid predictions, every other theory with whatever metaphysical basis or ontological picture, with the same or roughly the same predictions for observables are always equally good in terms of determining which reflects nature better, only criteria like occams razor, how simple it is, or how practical it is to use, or how much it appeals to flawed human intellects really decides between theories with the same observable predictions. to decide which theory is better one must expand upon mechanisms that give rise to new opportunities for observable predictions ultimately and that game goes on, there is never a concrete logical reason to accept the ontology cooked up to correlate with a prediction schema for observables unless you tie the knot at infinity, that is, you make a scheme where every detail is explained by a mechanism that can in principle be tested to be different from any other description, and to do that, there must be an infinite regress of mechanism and associated explaination, that is, why something happens, answer being, because this mechanism, this real pattern makes it emerge in this way, and so on, and the details of that first ontos must also be explained in a similar way, in principle only such a theory could be exactly correct about nature and at the same time be verifiable in principle, and such a theory would never be verifiable in practice because nobody can do infinite experiments, all in all its the same as some ontology that just is, that just moves in a certain pattern that can have a finite simple mathematical representation, the whole pattern of the infinite regress is just such a pattern, the difference is the in principle status of every mechanism having an explaination, and not just being there a priori. some people think an infinite regress doesnt work, but that is just silly, it is the same situation as an infinite stack of books, such a thing is easily imaginable, you just have to stop looking for the bottom book.

thats just how it is without a physical model where there is a mechanism underneath that can be explored and tested by other means.

if you really get into the weeds on the whole particles vs waves issue, what we really have are designs of detectors, and the only detectors we know about only ever pick up chunks, beyond that we are really only working with a machine for calculating stuff, there is no solid notion of what a traveling photon is, we have a wavefunction description that results in a probability map over observables, and to some degree we have interaction in between observables that we model in a certain way, which can be represented as the sum of a series of diagrams that are really just equations over some variable raised to some integer power, which is just a series approximation to some answer, so we really have no good clue about whether it even makes sense to say light travels as photons, or whether photons are just figments of our imagination resulting from light only being detectable in discreet chunks, like a floor made out of plates that have only two stable configurations where if you bend one it will stick to the other shape but walking lightly on them they will bounce back to a shape that is not tracking the history of who stepped where. if the only physical structures that exist to absorb or emit light do so by transitioning between stable or quasi stable states, whether there is emission in other ways, or smooth wavelike phenomena of energy traveling in the vacuum or not, we could never detect them directly, it would have to be giving us the result that we see chunks whether there are particles or not.

Dude's talking about hexagons while wearing a shirt with hexagon print!

I can't stop laughing at the fact that you showed a nuke blast at Bethesda

Remember they get ten times more powerful with each number

1+2=🦆.

Not an arc flash hazard, too little voltage

Can you react to Killua vs Misaka death battle

4:35 "I'd put [uranium extraction from seawater] in _sort-of_ the same category as commercial nuclear fusion," Really? We know _how_ to do uranium extraction, just not at a cost less than two or three times that of conventional mining. Whereas, we don't (yet) know how to make a working fusion reactor at all, though various approaches are being worked on. Or am I behind the times?

I don't know of any microwaved that are 2000 watts the one I have is a 1200 watt and that's already more then any box recipe for microwave cooking those are all 1100. Also 5k for a reactor vs 2k for the laser the reactor may produce a large amount of power but you need to remember just how tiny a laser like this really is. If the energy density of this laser was scaled to the same area you gave for the reactor you wouldn't have a reactor anymore the walls would be melting and you would prop go blind

Terence Howard needs to watch this

Mmm, spicy snake oil.

If you were somehow to magically assemble deligates from all intelligent civilisations in the universe in one room (assuming we aren't the only one) and ask them how their society became mechanised, I'd wager the vast majority of them would say something involving heating something in a pressure vessel. The handful that don't, probably say something like "our neighbours visited us a long time ago and gave us nuclear, or electricity". Heating a sealed pot I'd imagine is the starting point for a large percentage... Hell, nuclear is heating a sealed pot to make steam with steps added anyway!

Mass death for all unless you introduce the FEV

Hey, First time here and this is a good review video, I had actually not seen the film theory vid for the TV show. It is good to hear opinions from a person who is educated in the field. That said Fallout games are...Games, and I prefer them to be over the top comical and relaxing. This is why the games have 'Crocket' launchers you can aim at your feet and survive, miracle drugs that heal and remove rads, etc. The TV show had a chance to show some real blasts but this shows they went small, like micro nukes that were still the size of 'Big Boy'. I will check into your other videos on Fallout and Chernobyl.

can you do more of these types of reaction videos? it's fascinating and fun to watch!

25 magnitude would become an earthbreak not an earthquake

4:25 if you look at a phase diagram you can see straight lines in pits of the melting point where the liquidus and solidus lines meet, defining one very tight melting point instead of a softening range or structural change. Those are compounds and those really tight points in the concentration on the graph always mean some odd, wacky metal alloy that will just... sometimes behave like a salt even? They are crystaline, sometimes fragile and act like a pure compound made of metal and non-metal. Good examples are CuAl2 or the well known carbides like Fe3C in cast iron. AlMg mixes can form two, Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 and the latter will be almost glass-like. Compounds are vile. Eutectics like SnPb (60-40) solder, SnCu (99.3-0.7) solder or "alusil" AlSi alloy for casting are also kinda interesting in the same regard but they are kinda different.

Yooo sciencephile is my favorite. He's insanely funny.

I loved your previous reactions on XKCD videos. On this one, however, your commentary diverged completely from the video, especially in the second half. I expected a reaction to the XKCD video, not random facts unrelated to the video. Random facts about nuclear reactors are cool, but on their own video.

for the bombs...they'd require synchronized atomic clocks. or else, indeed, the first bombs that went off would simply destroy the other ones.

hay what would happen if you put a cat in a particle accretor ? Meowwroooom

Playing around with the numbers is great for putting things into perspective for us normies.

Nothing is really dangerous until access is granted to a fool

Having the breakers in an extra electrical utility building. Who'da thunk. It makes a lot of sense tbh lol

I just want to say, Fukushima is way more than a deserted city and a nuclear power plant. Fukushima is a entire prefecture with a lot beautiful nature and fascinating places to visit. And even aside from the beautiful places I think it's worth visiting the places that have been rebuilt and changed to see what humans are able to triumph over.

just to let you know, a sub critical nuclear reactor was actually built, and some level of nuclear fission did actually take place, not enough to generate electricity from though.

the romans also used a lead salt/ lead sugar as a wine sweetener, which arguable could have influenced the fall of rome considering the leaders would have the money and access to the leaded wine.

12:50 I mean, its not dangerous its self, and TSA knows that. and it looks like it has a mute button, so it probiably wasnt beeping on the plane itself

Are you much of a meteorogist or geologist in terms of knowing about things like gravitational fields and polymer structures?
