If you were tasked with manufacturing a 1960s car today that had to work without ever actually starting the engine doing so would be a monumental undertaking, involving supercomputers simulating the internal combustion etc.
That's what's happening with nuclear weapons development since the testing ban, and simulating that's a lot more complex.

- asdff 3y agoI guess its like, we already have invented the hammer. It works. The complex stuff honestly seems to be what makes any targeted bomb complex vs the teller-ulam mechanism. What exactly are we simulating?
