The real danger isn’t an isolated single large detonation, but strategic detonations over the largest population centers. I think fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective I suppose, most of the nuclear war would be limited to the northern hemisphere. Prevailing winds should be favorable for less radioactive fallout in regions south of 30 degrees.

I mean, this assumes the combination of all the nukes will have the same yield as the sum of its parts. With such a violent reaction a ton of material will just get blown away before it can go boom. Even if the nuke were synced perfectly, you would still have to deal with the explosions’ interference with each other.

'If intelligent life reemerges after this they will eventually find a thin layer of uranium covering the entire earth, along with signs of our civilization and be very confused' - yea I'd imagine it'd be pretty confusing to find there was ancient intelligent life, only to find they blew themselves up for no particular reason.

Menthols That’s exactly how NDT would like to see the Space Force (or currently the Air Force Space Command) develop into. Watched him talk about it on Joe Rogan. A Space Force to clean-up the junk in atmosphere as well as detect and defend from space rocks. Currently, Tyson states space to space warfare would not be possible without technology and understanding of physics. He also pointed out a treaty that requires peace among all nations in space yet he thinks that only goes so far because we need to learn to have peace on Earth before ever thinking peace in Space would be a reality.

Thanks Kurzgesagt for having that little bit of a dark, mischievous streak in you that gets you to create these world-ending bits of entertainment. Not everything has to be as serious and pedantic as a nattering lecture. There is plenty of room for some fun as well.

Many of our viewers have asked us a very serious question; what if we made a big pile of bombs, and exploded every nuclear weapon in the world all at once? - Kurzgesagt, 2019

I got one for you : Imagine all the mountains and mountain ranges in the world would be taken to create ONE massive mountain (and for the sake of this thought experiment we assume that the crust would be able to withstand that massive pressure without giving in ). A mountain so unbelievably big it even puts olympus mons to shame. It is about 5 times as wide as it is high, so the peak would even reach space, that is how massive it is. Now further imagine that at the base of this giant we have a lake that contains all the water on earth combined into this one massive lake, immeasurably deep and longer and broader then our massive mountain even. Now for whatever reason this gigantic mountain would suddenly collapse and fall into our lake. Man that would splash.

If all the existing nuclear weapons were detonated together, realistically they couldn't all explode at exactly the same time. Therefore, wouldn't most of the weapons be nuked by the other nukes? What happens if you nuke a nuke...? 🤯

it's unlikely that they would find fossilised humans since humans don't really fossilise already, so when everything is burnt or disintegrated by the bomb, the fallout and/or the radioactive wasteland, gon be pretty difficult
