A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow - if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so - but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

"This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."

Another incident left out entirely, including from the description, is the 1979 Vela Incident, where satellites detected two flashes of light matching the profile of nuclear detonations in the southern Indian Ocean, roghly half-way between Madagascar and Antarctica. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the detonations, but it's suspected to have been an undeclared joint test by Israel and South Africa.

[@Yaivenov]

"An unknown player has entered the game." Now there's a disconcerting notion. 😅

[@zimports]

Good point. Israel was the only state that would do (clandeastine) nuclear business with South Africa because it was so heavily sanctioned due to apartheid.

[@Yaivenov]

As a follow on to the Vela incident the U.S.A. and СССР would have both sent their nuke isotope sniffing planes to grab samples from the air following the satellite detection. The resultant isotopic fingerprint can reasonably tell you who/what reactor or enrichment process produced the material and also the geologic source. Thus it is fair to conclude that the major powers of the world secretly know who the Vela Incident belongs to but are otherwise choosing to not say.

[@Yaivenov]

@@zimports admission of the Vela incident already does admit failure of antiproliferation. The choice to not also reveal identities is seperate from that and undoubtedly political in the extreme. Edit: that the opposing world super powers both chose to not disclose the identities makes it even more curious.

@@sock398 ACTUALLY! China lake was never uninhabited. Indigenous tribes have always been living there and the US military arbitrarily decided to drive them out of their homes and mark it as a wasteland. It never was a wasteland if you consider the fact that people have been living there and the desert is its own ecosystem with unique flora and fauna. Even the evacuation has sometimes been inadequate and the tribes suffer as a result. The maps, however, conveniently show a blank nothingness where the China lake military zone is, even though Death Valley right next to it is literally a tourist destination. It's such a huge lie and barely anyone knows. The US has done a similar thing to an island community the name of which I forget, and their people still suffer from the effects of nuclear contamination and the loss of opportunities and development that accompanies it.

One of the ways we’re able to tell that humans are contributing heavily to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is from the concentration of carbon 15. Carbon in the atmosphere absorbs radiation from space and can become an isotope, but recently burned carbon hasn’t had the opportunity. Records show that up until 1950 the concentration of carbon 15 dropped year after year as carbon 12 was released from industries. In 1950 the amount of carbon 15 suddenly began to spike, and the method became unreliable. Watching this, it’s painfully clear why the amount of carbon isotopes spiked.

[@puncheex2]

1958 was a mess because both sides knew negotiations on a bilateral treaty were to start on 31 Oct 1958, so they went all out to get as much done as possible. The US did 5 tests on Oct 30, and had another one scheduled but it was scrubbed for weather concerns. The Soviets fired two more three days later, causing considerable recriminations. the bilateral talks failed, but the Soviets continued the moratorium unilaterally and the US did so as well.

India was afraid of the CIA finding out about the tests (I don't know why, maybe some political reason) so they had to prepare for it in secret and the occuring of the test came as a surprise to USA after which they kept a close eye to India so that no more nuclear tests take place. You can check this on Wikipedia. They went as far as keeping track of American spy satellites, so that they can prepare the test site only when the satellites are not above India and then camouflage the entire site just before they complete their orbit and return to India.

The implications of this clip are quite insane, to start with. Secondly, the energy discharge that is generated by one nuclear explosion is immense. That fact that almost nobody in the course of history has linked this to the global warming of the past decades has puzzled me gravely over the last few years; people just keep focussing on the output of carbondioxide. All this apart from the horrors that nuclear tests have caused, mainly in the Pacific.
