    I met Teller in 1962 as a high school senior winner of the Bell Science award. What he most wanted to do was explore the solar sysytem using nuclear powered rockets - one design would use small fission bombs against a pusher-plate for propulsion. This would have to be built in space so as not to put a lot of radioactive material in the atmosphere. He was a very engaging talker.

Thank heaven Star Wars turned out to be only a scam played on a senile Ronald Reagan.

      **Doctor of the End: The Sundial's Dream**
      In a world tense with fear, where shadows grew deep,
      A doctor emerged, from where dark visions creep.
      Not content with the fires that already burned,
      He sought a new power, a lesson unlearned.
      A mind sharp as glass, with cold logic aligned,
      He dreamt of an end that could humble mankind.
      For he saw nations tremble, gripped by the race,
      A madness where ruin wore ambition's face.
      So he sketched out a horror, the Sundial Bomb,
      A thing born of silence, a world’s quiet calm.
      This wasn’t a missile, or a warhead to throw-
      It needed no launch to reap its deathblow.
      In his mind’s eye he saw it, a tower of light,
      A sun that could blaze through the veil of the night.
      A star on the earth, with a heart forged in fire,
      Unleashing a death that no god could require.
      It held ten billion tons of pure TNT,
      A power so vast it could unmake the sea.
      A flash fifty kilometers wide in its wake,
      All life, all matter, it would scorch and remake.
      He proposed it as final, an ultimate vow,
      To silence the world if they dared disavow.
      One press of a button, if one dared to defy,
      And the earth itself would burn and die.
      Yet even the bold shuddered at the sight
      Of a weapon so vast it eclipsed day and night.
      The military halted, appalled by the thought-
      A power so dark, even they dared it not.
      The doctor stood silent, his grand vision undone,
      A mind left to linger where no light could run.
      For the monster he’d dreamt lay quiet, entombed,
      An untested requiem, a world unexhumed.
      Years turned to silence, but echoes remain,
      Of a vision so cold it could bring endless rain.
      This doctor who saw both the end and its dread,
      Left a mark on our souls, though his dream was dead.
      In the dark, his ambition still lingers near,
      A shadow, a whisper of human fear.
      A man who walked deeper than reason can see,

Either they build the same world ending bomb or start thinking about removing nukes ...

      I love the shuttering sound effect when the sundial nuke goes off.
      I know its based from a real nuke recording. I can't remember exactly what nuke it was, i want to say the Trinity test but it could be from a different one, but I remember that Crazy sound . Its like a low sub bass noise wave from the radiation interfering with the electronics. I think they said you couldn't hear that sound with your ears, it was a crazy artifact picked up by the recording equipment.
      Dang it! Now I have to find that video about this haha.
      Excellent sound design for sure. Sound design in general doesn't get enough love, especially with today's movies having more and more CGI, the audience doesn't realize that this whole insane render of a battle is completely silent, it takes people who have keen eyes and ears and intense attention to detail to bring a render to life, people don't realize that every thing that moves or touches something is going to make a sound, and sometimes matching reality isn't enough, they also have a library of knowledge and subtle sounds that can really bring a scene to life.
      Unsung heros for sure!

    For anyone demoralized by our own species in particular, it's important to remember that most relevant experts believe that if life does indeed exist out there in the universe, it would be subject to natural selection just as we are. This means that it would also be, by definition, competitive.
    Other intelligent life would suffer from the same quandaries we do as a result. They would probably even have their own nuclear arms races. We can only hope we all survive long enough to grow out of it eventually.

      MAD warfare was already threatening to do that for the post part, which is why this bomb was technically obsolete, as the video mentioned. The terrible (and very interesting) fact about deterrence warfare is that, to ensure peace, your weapon needs to be able to commit atrocities no one would ever want and be guaranteed to trigger should something go wrong. That is the only way it can work. If there is ANY doubt that you will launch this weapon, your enemy suddenly has room to call your bluff.

      ​@hectormelendez4891 well naturally it does. Technology progresses more so exponentially rather than a fixed rate. Early levels of technology take a little bit to be developed, but once a certain threshold has been hit the rate at which our Technology advances slowly goes up exponentially and as time goes on that rate of advancement will be so high that the type of speed you are thinking about is possible, however us as a species are not that far along yet into the technology exponential increase. We are getting close thats for sure, and the current technology we have is being made at an even faster pace, however we are still a few generations off of having a full on advance rate of the futuristic media we have seen.

    One thing I feel like got lost in this, Edward Teller was terrified by the idea of a nuclear war. His thought process was to make a bomb so powerful it was one and done, no 10 minutes of panic. Just a massive reset the planet button. It put his mind at ease enough for him to keep working and the military was more than happy enough to keep writing checks.
    Limited by the nuclear bomb technology of the early Cold War era. With modern ways of testing, simulating, and manufacturing, I truly wonder what Teller could've built.

With the benefit of decades of additional nuclear arms creation, testing and accumulation behind us but in the years after Teller's pseudo-madness, it really doesn't seem as insane as it should. One would hope that it would basically scare humanity straight, but unfortunately all it takes is one Dave Chapelle type habitual line-stepper to decide they wanna see what happens if they push and push and they either call the bluff or the world ends. If the bluff is called you then have people both no longer respecting the Great Deterrent but you also still have said weapon, and that just opens the door for the worst of all worlds where you have a horrible World War III where someone finally has enough and reverts Earth into a protoplanet.

      I am confident no one who ever lived, or perhaps a handful at best, really, as in *REALLY* understands Einsteins and Newton's inner machinations - No, I am not counting myself among those so please don't. I am of course not talking about their finished theories, a lot of people these days understand that, at least on a surface level, and all educated in physics at a usable level.
      The level of abstract thinking they possessed and more importantly used in a way that gave practical, usable results, is simply on another level compared to the rest of us, including anyone who is alive right now.
      (No, Neil Degrasse Tyson is not anywhere near and not even worth mentioning but some people like to bring him up because that is what a "scientist" is in their minds, except he actually is just a celebrity physics lexicon and not a researcher).
      It is incredible how Newton went from observing the orbits of planets to concluding that he needed to, essentially, create a whole new area of mathematics. Then applying that more or less new language to objects in the sky to produce the single most revolutionary scientific theory besides, perhaps, the Standard Model (Don't ask me to explain it, I cannot, I just know it is hugely successful).
      The most impressive thing about Newton's theory of gravity to me was/is that it still holds up, it just turned out that it was only a minor part of the whole that is Einstein's theory of relativity. Now, that is intelligence and thinking on a level that will make you appear mad to the public, especially back in Newton's time, while it made perfect sense for him and later, the public, just several hundred years later.

      (Could also just be lore for a ip, scientist were able to recolonize a system thought to be lost after the sun exploded by pretty much jumpstarting one with a hydrogen bomb big enough)
      A bomb likes this blow up and the only people who are safe are those already in space (kinda of done in other concepts before but would be kool of my original idea is a game or a series. )The beginning would be a terrorist cult who researched and found out about sundial. For a while they preach to the end of the world is coming, and they rally believers… just no one was expecting the end of the world to come so soon, and for the cult to bring it on them selves.
      If it’s a game, you could start of playing as like delta (or some future or more advanced equivalent) who has been put to guarding this just in case. No one thinks it’s what’s gonna happen but you can never be to sure. And it’s a good think you guys were because there is a massive attack on the facility holding sundial.

    I’ve been looking for this for months, google won’t let me find the original concept image I found. It was supposed to have several arms sticking out like a metal Jack. These were thought to be the atomic bombs that field the reaction by being rammed into the central chamber. The central chamber would essentially be filled with hydrogen and other reactants needed for fusion. With the size that the fusion chamber would have been, it would easily destroy the planet

      There were reasons why at the start of the movie there was that disclaimer from the USAF stating that what happened in the movie was impossible. The main reason was that Kubrick almost perfectly guessed US nuclear strategy at the time. The main difference from the movie to reality was that you didn’t necessarily needed to be a general, every single commissioned officer in the US military at the time had the authority to start WWIII on their own discretion. There were no locking mechanisms on Nuclear Weapons or launch codes that were used. A former Minuteman launch officer at the time explained that until 1977, the unlock code for their missiles was just twelve zeros. In an interview he recalled watching Dr. Strangelove and recalled that they had it all wrong.
      “We were just Lieutenants! We could’ve started WWIII just as easily as General Jack Ripper!”
      The only safeguard mechanism in the US arsenal preventing a nuclear apocalypse until, in the case of the US Navy, the 1980’s was phycological testing and screening. Had the public known that the movie accurately portrayed the insanity of US nuclear strategy, it would’ve caused such outrage that it would be impossible to ignore.

That bomb was thought to be usable as a traditional bomb and was likely the one considered for testing. That was still a 1GT bomb. So still pretty insane.
