How many Nuclear bombs would it take to end the world?

Answer 1

The USA and Russia have had hydrogen bombs for many years that would only take one of to destroy the world.

The bombs used on Japan at then end of WWII were very small and dirty compared to those in the arsenals only a few years after the war.

Not many people know though that Japan detonated their first nuclear bomb just before their surrender.

In case you don't know it, the USA is using thousands of small nuclear detonations in Iraq and Afghanistan every day that is killing not only the civilians in these countries but the military as well and most do not even know it. The government has not told the troops there just as they didn't tell the troops in Vietnam about "Agent Orange". Read the web site I have listed below and learn and these are documented resources. read also the other articles listed it will make your blood boil!

Answer 2

man that's a good question... i wonder if it's something scary like 1 or something you wouldn't imagine like 1000,
scary to think some think tank in d.c. and moscow has probably alreay figured this out...

my guess is 100

my guess was pretty close !!!! :)
i just went thhrough wiki and found this :
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{2006 study on consequences of a regional nuclear war
A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December 2006 found that even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could produce as many direct fatalities as all of World War II and disrupt the global climate for a decade or more. In a regional nuclear conflict scenario where two opposing nations in the subtropics would each use 50 Hiroshima-sized nuclear weapons (ca. 15 kiloton each) on major populated centres, the researchers estimated fatalities from 2.6 million to 16.7 million per country. Also, as much as five million tons of soot would be released, which would produce a cooling of several degrees over large areas of North America and Eurasia, including most of the grain-growing regions. The cooling would last for years and could be "catastrophic" according to the researchers. [5] }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Answer 3

Technically, only one because hydrogen bombs are thermally detonated, so if one goes off close enough to a group of other ones they too might explode and cause so much genetic damage that all life on Earth would cease. As to actually blowing the Earth to bits, that would take an order of magnitude ten powers higher than what currently exists.

Answer 4

1 is too many and 1000 is not enough. The next nuke that hits a target is the beginning of the end. All the moneymongering pigs will freak... they are pinching their pennies for naught and living even below my financial state because they are pagans.

Answer 5

27 in diffrent places would cause nuclear fall out
