On the topic of atomic bombs I have some rhetorical questions 1. What happened to the deadly radioactivity? 2. Would exploding the equivalent amount of TNT look exactly the same? 3. Would USA fake having a single bomb that destroys an entire city? 4. What happened to the deadly radioactivity in Japan? 5. What is carpet bombing? 6. Would USA fake having a single bomb that destroys an entire city?

I'll answer because some people are probably genuinely curious to some of these. > 1. What happened to the deadly radioactivity? It mostly decayed out. Generally speaking, 8 half-lives mean that it's essentially decayed to "gone". High-level atmospheric tests usually cause it to spread out and depending on wind patterns can dissipate enough to be essentially harmless - though with precision instruments you can measure the differences throughout the whole world. Steel from shipwrecks from before the first explosion can be desirable for some of this equipment. With explosions closer to or below ground level, there can be longer-lasting elements baked into the ground, like Trinitite (a green glass like material) that can have trace amounts of cesium-137, with a half-life of 30 years, which going by the 8 times rule means that it'll be "dangerous" for ~240 years. Also the type of bomb matters to what is left behind. A uranium bomb will leave different radioactive byproducts than a plutonium bomb. To break it down to layman terms, nuclear explosions are also designed to emit energy extremely fast, meaning the radioactive chain reaction "burns" through elements very fast. This is different that the fuel in a nuclear reactor, which is designed to burn hot and slow, meaning there are more longer-lasting byproducts left over and why Chernobyl is a no go zone for thousands of years, but we can live in Hiroshima. Most of the cancers that happened were from people downwind from the explosion. Most of these elements that caused the cancers and sicknesses decayed away within a couple of years. > 2. Would exploding the equivalent amount of TNT look exactly the same? No. It wouldn't produce anywhere near the amount of heat/light. The TNT equivalent is usually used to measure the destructive force equivalent of the explosion. > 3. Would USA fake having a single bomb that destroys an entire city? The US may "fake" having a number operating bombs ready, etc. But obviously there's no need to fake it as the US destroyed 2 cities at the end of world war 2 and exploded hundreds of test bombs since. > 4. What happened to the deadly radioactivity in Japan? The bombs dropped were exploded high in the atmosphere to spread the explosive force of the bombs. Most of the radioactive material was carried away by the winds and/or had a short half-life. Most radioactive material from the bombs decayed away and there is no longer a statistically significant higher risk of cancer in either Hiroshima or Nagasaki. > 5. What is carpet bombing? It's when you have a fleet of bombers drop massive amounts of traditional bombs on a city, as was done to Germany and Japan during world war 2 (and by the Germans to a few cities like Rotterdam). > 6. Would USA fake having a single bomb that destroys an entire city? Same as question 3.

  There are other unpopular opinions 1. It is difficult to believe that the deadly radioactivity was just blown away. Where was it blown to? Upwards to space? 2. Then perhaps a larger amount of TNT 3. Unfortunately USA has a long list of questionable history (moon landing, 911, to name a few) 4. Cancers could be from the chemical weapons used 5. Fire bombing and carpet bombing could explain what happed in Japan 6. Again, Hollywood, currency backed by Gold fakery, list goes on.

    You seem to not be operating in good faith, but that one is interesting: > Then perhaps a larger amount of TNT You can replicate something on the size of the WWII bombs with TNT, but you can't get anything much larger. A TNT explosion is relatively slow, and if you blow too much of it, it will disperse before blowing.

      Or other types of explosives that mushroom with lights and colors. We've seen real life examples of those. I'm just trying to have a controversial discussion while following HN rules and vibes. No politics, just facts. I didn't provide references hoping some curious mind would go searching for the truth themselves. Compelling evidence is out there. For example - Tokyo was carpet/fire bombed at the same time. Image comparisons between Tokyo and Hiroshima/Nagasaki destructions are extremely identical - Both Nagasaki and Hiroshima are harbor cities, which explains implanting the large amounts of TNT. (this tactic happened several times in recent history and is documented). This is actually the opinion of an American army member from when the alleged bombing happened. Good luck finding the video.

        > No politics, just facts. Not a lot of facts, as most of your comment is trivial to disprove. > Image comparisons between Tokyo and Hiroshima/Nagasaki destructions are extremely identical The destruction in Tokyo is completely different from Hiroshima/Nagasaki. It's not centralized, and there's no mark of the extreme high temperatures the nuclear weapons create. > Both Nagasaki and Hiroshima are harbor cities, which explains implanting the large amounts of TNT. The place where the explosions happened is completely clear from the remains you can find there today. You can just get some satellite images and look. You are clearly going for a "wake up sheep!" comment, so go and wake up.

I have a feeling the point made by these rhetorical questions is not the one you intended. These all have obvious, verifiable, and plain/boring answers. People even detected the radioactivity before nukes were public, and you can still measure the differences in steel today.

Huh? That’s not what rhetorical means and those silly questions aren’t confusing anyone here. What are you on about, mate?

  I believe he's implying the atom bomb doesn't exist - that it was all faked by the US. Maybe?
