Nuclear war ?

Question

Suppose seventy thousand nuclear war heads are detonated with a
15 mty(mega ton yeild) for you math people thats
4000 square mile yeild
hiroshima bombs where 15 kty(4 miles squared)

suppose 70000 of these detonate across the planet
what would results bee?

Answer 1

A pretty boring life underground for what humans, plant and animals somehow survive the next hundred years or so, but that's the Russian plan with their huge underground complex at Yammantau.

Answer 2

70,000 warheads?In the whole world combined there are only 50,000 warheads.15 mt is the detonation of one "above average" nuclear bomb.The most powerful single nulear warhead ever detonated was 50 mt,it was called the Tsar Bomba,tested by the Soviet Union.It had a 15 mile radius in the intitial explosian and the shock wave was felt nearly a thousand miles away near Finland.The test site was an island in the Arctic sea.I live in Seattle and I am 15 miles away from the actual city.The explosian itself would kill me,the third degree burns would occur to anyone further then 30 miles away.The shock wave would probably leave nearly everything in Washington state in rubble and the radiation would kill everyone in neighboring states.The original yield was 100 megatons.The bomb,realistically would be difficult to use,but if used to it would wrek havoc.The plane that dropped it had to be heavily modified.

The average nuclear bomb is 600 kt.There are 50,000 such bombs all over the world of different variaties,so the total yield of all the devies combined would be a few gigatons.

This is how a nuclear missile works,it is launched,the first capsule brakes apart,this is the booster,this happens on exiting the atmosphere.Out of the atmosphere the missile orbits with its second set of boosters,its going at mach 5 right now.It seperates into seperate warheads,usually 5-10,decoys are also in there,so when its reentering the atmosphere its traveling at a super hot speed of mach 25.Thats 25 times faster then sound.As it comes down the heat is so intense that anything a few hundred feet from it would be burned up.People will see a series of purple dots in the sky,some red,and as they see it they will die.Just like that.The speed is so fast that even while they are seeing it probably 10 km above the ground they will die before hearing it hit the ground,let alone seeing it.Various explosians would rock a main city and its suburbs.Initial blasts killing millions.But these people are the lucky ones since they do not see what will happen later.The mushroom cloud will work its way up dozens of km.Then there is the shock wave which kills everyone 15 miles squared since these are 550 kt nukes.There are 10 of them in this ICBM.An entire suburb and a metropolitan will be destroyed.The clouds will loom over the sky and leave the place dark.Millions will be wounded and numerous corpses will be on the street.Its an unbearable scene for the survivors.Buildings are collapsing and fires are spread all about.The ground shaking because the nuclear weapon had unbalanced it,intense heat burning the flesh.Emergence vehicles gathering the wealthy,ash dropping down and no sun when its needed.

If 70,000 such bombs were detonated it would be horrible. and food would not grow,Many areas would be effected by cannobalism.People would eat new born babies as a last resort.It would wipe out most of the life on Earth.But there is only one way to survive on Earth in a nuclear war.That is to head south.The radioactive currents head North.So the tropical climates of the South will protect someone from the cold

Answer 3

First of all the yield is far above the average. The US are mostly about 100 kty. We don't have nearly that many warheads either. That is even higher than the peak before both sides drastically reduced their inventories.

That many warheads of that size would kill nearly every person on Earth. A few might survive in isolated regions.

Answer 4

Almost all life on the planet would die. Those people or animals, that didn't die in the initial blast would die later. Either from the amount of dust thrown in the atmosphere to kill of vegitation, or by the radiation. In the end everything dead. The radiation half life is so long that we wouldn't be able to hold up that long, thousands of years. And if you did survive the initial blasts, you would be either horribly burnt, and/or blind, and/or left to try to avoid the radioactive dust comming down from the atmosphere, that you would eventually die. Radiation causes too much damage to your RNA and causes deformations, cancer, sterility, and birth defects. So no matter what, all life dead.

Answer 5

i'm extra fearful Iran might want to apply nukes. N. Korea probable would not use any until eventually they are attacked, regardless of being chilly conflict loopy. Iran is loopy in yet another, extra particular way. both way, a nutter with a bomb is a issue. we ought to continuously allow Israel have extra leash and allow them bomb a number of Iran's nuclear labs.

Answer 6

Displacement of the planet from the orbit. Say bye, quickly. The results would not BEE very pleasant ROFL

Answer 7

Hiroshima only had one bomb and it was 13kt. Nagasaki only had one bomb and it was 13kt.

A 15mt bomb does NOT have a 4000mi blast radius, neither does 70,000 of them.

I don't know wtf you meant by "yeild" but the Hiroshima blast was 1.3sq mi radius. Devastation went up to 5mi away, but that was mainly from the huge wind gust and shockwave.

1 Kiloton is equal to 1,000 tons of TNT
1 Megaton is equal to 1,000,000 tons of TNT.

Answer 8

Crow would permit you to use > 1-sheet of TP this one last time.

Answer 9

One bad hair day.

Answer 10

Nothing would result. It would be unimportant.
