Its so mesmerizing to watch because for a brief second it looks like a star

[@jrodowens]

The way it radiates bright light in every direction turning night to day. But such 'small' fission/fusion reaction lasts but a blink of an eye, and the darkness slowly creeps back to cover all but the smoldering fireball..

[@benjaminfoucher1339]

@@jrodowens This was shot in broad daylight actually. The camera lense is shuttered in such a way as to limit the amount of light it captures. That's why the split second before detonation, the scene is nearly pitch black even though it's shooting directly down at the ocean. The fact that the bomb lights up the video so intensely demonstrates just how bright it was in reality.

This is the best footage of a giant and mighty thermonuclear shell I have ever seen until today. Perfectly presented as an air burst in suitable height to allow the fireball to grow completely in all directions without any flattening due to eventual limitations through the ground. 🎆🔥

[@benjaminfoucher1339]

For a split second, it was like giving birth to a star

[@ingorichter649]

@@benjaminfoucher1339 Yes, but there is far to less mass to keep the fusion stable for longer time, especially in presence of a far bigger mass nearbye (our earth). By the way according to my minor astrophysical knowledge a stable fusion feedback fusion reaction primary from heavy Hydrogen to Helium is possible up to mass of at multiple (at least 20 ?!?) masses of Jupiter. Than it may be possible to keep running a ignited fusion reaction as a very tiny and weak star if there is enough space for it's gravity field.. On the other hand scientists currently try in China to establish a stable fusion reaction like a star I have read about. But as an engineer I cannot imagine how this may work.

Isn't that just camera "gain"? I thought the primary and secondary were so fast they would be indistinguishable, e.g. microseconds.

[@davidstephens8543]

The first pulse is about 15 microseconds... the second pulse is at about 1/10 of a second or 100 milliseconds... but, yeah, really fast. @@robbie_

[@feharabdulrafae9846]

​​​​@@robbie_it's not primary or secondary difference that you see as the double flash. It happens because the inital x-ray heated plasma air is opaque to visible light and therefore hides all light after initial flash. Then it cools slightly allowing the full burst of light to go through now translucent air resulting in the second flash that last longer. Every nuke works in this way

[@robbie_]

@@feharabdulrafae9846 Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[@prashantsinghsisodia6709]

The second pulse happens as the hot air from the centre expands and catches the surface of the fireball, due to which it increases the temperature of the surface of the sphere and hence the second burst of light.

Fun fact. These tests were recorded by a series of cameras, since the tech of the day didn't allow for a single camera to have 1/10000 second shutter speed. Instead, a gang of cameras was mechanically connected such that their shutters were offset from each other, so that they could actually capture 10000 frames per second when the film frames were combined sequentially. No idea how far the camera rig was though...

[@angrydragon4574]

It's not the treaty themselves but the fact that both sides have these. It's a concept called Mutually Assured Destruction, this goes back to the Cold War.

[@PrimordialEconomics]

The problem with nukes, is that because they are so destructive, it causes a dynamic where nuclear armed nations can't reasonably engage each other in direct kinetic war without risking nuclear escalation. You may say this is good, but the actual end result is that the elite ruling class of nuclear armed nations become compelled to collude and cooperate with eachother resulting in the formation of a single global ruling class. This is bad because it causes the global population to become exploited by this global ruling elite at massive scales. You see.. being able to engage an adversary in physical power competitions to establish a dominance hierarchy results in complex emergent sociotechnical benefits relating to security and stability. Nukes have disrupted this natural process and are resulting in a dysfunctional paradigm of instability, exploitation, and abuse of the global population.
