2053....not the year, the # of nuclear explosions

[Tonington]

An artist's rendition of the history of nuclear and thermonuclear weapon detonations on our planet, with a timeline for when, a map for where, and colour coded to identify which nation conducted the bombing/test.

"1945-1998" by Isao Hashimoto: CTBTO Preparatory Commission

It does not include the tests of the DPRK.

i thiought it was pretty interesting

Sorry Tonn....but yawn....

My thoughts were of geology watching it. It could be condensed to move faster, but on the geologic time scale, in a million years when all the sediment has built up, there will be isotopic evidence around the world of our prolific weapon testing. In a layer of what used to be soil.

your worried about the geology? I think mabye the westerlies taking those radioactive isotopes from the western states east would be of more concern........ Than some bedding, sure it would make a great marker for the cenozoic Era but meh....

Has any connection ever been made to increased cancers and irradiated environment?

:confused5:

:roll:

 

[Johnnny]

care the elaborate gerryh?

as you can see the westerlies blow to the east, so i dont know why gerryh is rolling his eyes.... When chernobyl blew its top, radioactive isotopes went where the wind took them

why did I roll my eyes????? I rolled them because of your comprehension problems.

 

[Johnnny]

And where was that? Please show me

 

[gerryh]

And where was that? Please show me

You're kidding right? :lol:

 

[Johnnny]

show me

gerryh you are confusing me i dont know where my comprehension skills are lacking.....

The westerlies blow in the ranges from 35 degrees to 65 degrees.... TO THE EAST.... Some of those areas not all in america that had bomb droppings lie within that range... So it was a valid point...

For example the northern border of new mexico is at 37 degrees with colorado, and the 35th cuts through those weapons testing areas pretty cleanly.....

Methinks somebody has taken it upon himself to be as annoying as he perceives people to be in religion threads.

 

[gerryh]

I didn't see Ton mention being concerned about a damn thing. Only thing he said was he had thought of the testing on a geological scale and what evidence of that testing there would be even after a million years.

 

[Johnnny]

thats it.... jeez man tonnington is a big boy im sure he can speak on his own behalf... and im sure he can get mad at me on his own behalf

 

[gerryh]

didn't get mad.... just rolled my eyes.

 

[Johnnny]

gerryh would you like a hug? I dont hug men often but when i do, its for the best...

Tonnington im just saying your into the earth sciences, that should have also crossed your mind

 

[petros]

Oh no! It's a re-run of Operation Upshot-Knothole!

I'm not worried about the geology, that's just what popped into my head while watching it. A lot of radioactive isotopes in a short interval. Kinda like how they find the volcanic ash in the soil horizon.
