    Just to clarify, the demon core wouldn't have blown up like a nuke and leveled Los Alamosa simply from the Tamper fully encasing it without spacers. If that's how it worked, then Plutonium-based fission nukes wouldn't require hundreds of pounds of precisely timed high explosives surrounding it to get the desired results.
    Instead, what would have happened if the tamper hadn't been knocked off was that the surrounding area would have been irradiated to lethal levels until the core got so hot that it melted through the base holding it and, probably, the ground beneath it as well. At which point, the reaction would stop. The whole facility would have probably still needed to be permanently evacuated and cordoned off, with cleanup crews being sent in once radiation levels dropped to survivable levels, but it wouldn't have turned Los Alamos into a black smear.

    • @domvasta
      @domvasta Před rokem +76

      the core would get hot enough to expand, and then the plutonium atoms would be vibrating too fast and be too far apart from each other for fission neutrons to have a greater than 34% chance of causing another fission, which is necessary for a plutonium fission chain reaction to be self sustaining. Consequently, that's one of the reasons why plutonium has a much smaller critical mass than uranium, each fission emits more neutrons, more neutrons means more potential collisions with nuclei that themselves result in more fissions and thus more neutrons, then you have elements like Cf-251 with a bare sphere critcal mass of 2kg

      There is a difference between being irradiated and being radioactive. It's would not matter if the core dumped trillions of neutrons on everything; once you remove the plutonium, it is 100% safe.

    Also as a side note: Anthrax is a Greek word that means "coal" It was described that way because the lungs looked blackened from a person who has died from it. The traditional treatment now is Ciproximine. It's a very powerful antibiotic and had to be given up to a year for inhalation Anthrax. The problem is, is that Anthrax is extremely stubborn, especially a "created" version. It can return in a patient if it is not monitored carefully months, even years later.
    Their is a vaccine for Anthrax, but it has unpleasant side effects, takes quite a few to achieve immunity, and doesn't last long for protection. But better than nothing.

    Slotin's drama-soaked insanity wasn't just foreshadowed; it was WARNED about. Enrico Fermi, SLOTIN'S BOSS, warned him directly about his reckless approach to playing with the dragon core, saying, "You'll be dead within the year, if you keep doing that." Rumor has it that he was a glutton for attention, adding needless fanfare to an already highly dangerous situation. He got off on doing it the risky way for oohs and ahhs from spectators.

    Fun fact related to the grainy photos from Chernobyl. In 1945 scientists at Kodak surmised that a large nuclear reaction (explosion) had taken place due issues they were having with transporting x-ray film. They found trace amounts of the wrong kind of radiation in their raw materials that would later be named cesium-141 IIRC. They knew about the bomb months before the nuclear explosions in Japan.

    No, the Demon Core would not level the site if it went supercritical. It would simply melt down while irradiating everything around it. It requires a very carefully symmetric detonation to induce a nuclear explosion. Without the rest of the bomb around it, the core cannot do that.

    I think the thing with the dybuk box is not that it was fake per say, but people related unrelated events to it because of stories they heard.
    But now, people have put so much energy into thinking it was evil, so that it’s taken on a dark energy of its own, and resides in an actual haunted house, and all this energy of fear is being brought to it. The theory is called the “thought form entity” which is not an actual ghost, rather just an energy brought by all this fear put into this object.
    Crazy thing is, I visited the museum two days before I broke my ankle misstepping some stairs which I had walked on tons of times before and shouldn’t have fallen in such a manner. I’m pretty sure I stated something to the box that I had never had anything bad happen from seeing it, and didn’t think it really had much power to do that. Two days later I break my ankle.
    99.9999% likely a coincidence but definitely weird that happened when it did.
    Still, I think the box probably isn’t naturally haunted, but now has gathered a lot of negative energy on it.

Are you not aware science is rooted in witchcraft and alchemy? That’s where the roots of it come from.

Handful of other channels have done videos buying them on the dark web or ebay and opening them, then crazy things start happening to them. While I'm a believer in the paranormal as a whole, I dunno how much I buy a person opening a box that was claimed to have a few hundred year old angry spirit inside and the consequences that come along with doing so. I'm certainly no expert, nor am I interested in trying my luck, so personally.. I'd say plausible at best, no testing or analysis required on my part 😅

    An interesting fact about the Daghlian criticality; it wasn't the initial prompt excursion that killed him. If he had thought about it and just walked away from the core for a couple days, he would have been alright, though probably more prone to cancer later on. What killed him was the high-energy fission products resulting from the initial criticality, but they would have burned off in a day or so. He got the lethal dose when he carried the core back to the safe it came from. There are instances when it's not good to follow your mother's advice to always put things back where you found them -- at least right away.

    2:35 super criticality is not an explosion, it is just a chain reaction that sustains itself for miliseconds or indefinately, depending on the environment, just like a nuclear power plant. It is impossible to detonate radioactive material without compressing it to mind blowing pressures. That is why detonating atomic bomb is so hard, you must detonate explosives around the core in such precise timing, that the shockwave of the explosion manages to evenly compress the core allowing it to explode. Even a tiny error in timing and you are just left with vapourised radioactive stuff flying in all direstions. And still less then 10% of the material undergoes fision in an atomic explosion. So please do more research.

    Sounds like Louis should be nominated or forever be placed in the Darwin Award category with several expletives following his name for all of the other lives that he put in danger.

    I've heard of this Dybbuk box on a few different channels. But this is the first time I've ever heard that Post Malone was part of the chain of events.

    I really think we need to discuss the definitions of "cursed" and "fear"... Not messing with extraordinarily dangerous things like radioactive substances doesn't make it cursed or you afraid 🤔

      I'd say at this point, those are phrases used to echo a more superstitious time. And a rational person should definitely be afraid of invisible killers. It's just that for the longest time we were scared of ghosts and demons when we really should have been afraid of viruses and radioactive elements.

      @@joshuamarvin7400 Hey, just curious if you have any thoughts on the beings some people claim to meet while under DMT use. Do you believe in the possibility of other-dimensional beings? Edit: I do largely agree w your observation btw.

      Words change over time. My favorite example is that "gay" used to mean cheerful/happy.

      you don't get views by using mild language. I'm surprised he didn't put *"TERRIFYING"* in there somewhere like all the other clickbait titles

    I've heard of the conjuring house but
    never seen the movie when you said Hollywood with the title of the video I actually guessed it was the conjuring before you said it

    Thank You "Be Amazed" for all the wonderful videos over the years but one thing is still missing..... the "amazing" by the cartoon that used to be there in the intro.

    I'm surprised James Deans car, the one he crashed that killed him, wasn't brought up on the list of items considered cursed. Seems that everyone who used parts from his crashed car were killed by it in some way.

      @evtaku the wreckage of the car itself vanished and has never been relocated so scientists can’t test it. That’s probably a good thing because everyone who has touched the car or used parts of it in their cars were later found dead… that’s what I call a cursed car
