This happens if every nuclear weapon is launched on Earth

Photo source: Quora



At present, there are almost 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world. By far the most are held by the USA and Russia. If they decide to launch everything they have, then there will be nothing left over of the earth. The United States has 6,800 nuclear weapons, Russia has 7,000. Furthermore, the United Kingdom, have 215 and China 260. North Korea has 10, and then there's a handful of countries with a few atomic bombs. The largest nuclear explosion in history was caused in 1961 by the Russian "Tsar Bomba. The test was more than 3,800 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. And that was just one bang. 



Not all nuclear weapons have the same force, but the USA and Russia have the heaviest: thermonuclear weapons. The United States has the B83, which is equivalent to 79 Hiroshima bombs. Suppose that the USA and Russia all shoot down their weapons and they are all B83, which spread to be launched around the world on the surface, over 94 kilometers of land will be destroyed immediately and 232,000 square kilometers of infrastructure will be blown away.




There will be a fireball almost immediately that everything he touches vaporizes into a 79,000 kilometer radius and everyone within 5.8 million square kilometers get third degree burns. For the next ionizing radiation in the atmosphere will infected an area of 284,000 square kilometers. The radiation will be spread further down in the atmosphere over the world and cause so much more deaths. So if you survive the first explosion, you runs a high risk of radiation sickness. Finally, the nuclear winter shall enter. The last survivors must prepare for a dark period. Similar to a major volcanic eruption will be a nuclear winter to cool down the world for hundreds of years. 


The soot that released by the explosion blocks the rays of the sun, which is so no longer able to reach the earth's surface. The planet is dark, making photosynthesis impossible. That ensures the collapse of the ecosystem. It will lead to a mass extinction of unprecedented size, including our own species may not be able to survive ...

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

Image
NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
