The authors of the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt asked something special – what if the entire nuclear arsenal of weapons is blown up? What are the implications for us and the planet?
The exact number of nuclear warheads of different countries of the holder is a secret, but accepted and 0 1x 0 in If the subjects, having a capacity of a megaton, can destroy 3 billion people overnight. And there are still about 1500 charges left.
However, this important apocalyptic scenario shows that even the massive use of an attack is not capable of destroying all people on the planet overnight. Always return those who were in the seas, in mines, in remote areas, plus polar explorers and astronauts. you can see during its explosion a monstrous fireball with a diameter of 50 km, but outside the continent after the end of the nuclear winter, there is little that surrounds.
But there is a speculative scenario: let’s imagine that people are somehow specific. This is about 35 million tons, of which about 100 million charges per 1 megaton can be made. And if such ammunition is blown up, then humanity and most of the flora and fauna on the planet are guaranteed to come to an end, although some microorganisms will still survive against all odds.
