Powerful Atomic bomb: * explodes*
Subtitles: MUSIC
Deaf people :
It’s now entertainment
It’s Kim jung uns favourite song
That’s the music of victory
insert your channel name here
It was music to the Marines who would have had to invade the Japanese mainland. My uncle fought on Okinawa and he knew first hand how the Japanese fought. He always said he was thankful they dropped them.
2:25 They don't explain it in the documentary, but the reason Fermi drops the scraps of paper when the shock wave hits is somehow he was able to calculate the yield of the bomb by how far they were moved. Genius.
yeah that’s smart
and according to his stated calculation, he was only off by 88.5%
How could you call somebody who brought life to such evil a genius?
@@kiloton1920 look, there might've been a thousand better methods of approximating the bomb's yield, but calling his estimation "evil" is a bit much?
I'm sure it worked better on paper.
@@kiloton1920 he regretted helping make it the rest of his life so cut the man some slack
I love how the movie “Fat Man and Little Boy” depicts Oppenheimer’s reaction to the successful detonation of the first bomb. You can see the actor’s face visibly go from “My God, I’ve done it!” to “My God, what have I done…” as the glow of nuclear fire paints his face orange in the darkness. It never fails to give me chills every time I watch that scene.
“My God, what have I done…”? More like “My God, why did you have to send me determined European scientists to do it for me?”. Oppenheimer isn’t the one to blame here man.

@@saurabhgairola9145 which
he said “i have become death the destroyer of worlds”
The creation of the nuclear bomb is the literal embodiment of the phrase, “I’ve won, but at what cost?”
the cost was the people who wasn't even involved in the war had to die
Russell not only that but, if you nuke someone you lose reputation, that’s why they haven’t nuked Afghanistan. Because it makes you look bad and other countries won’t trade with you because you unleashed a weapon of mass destruction. (They also aren’t nuking Afghanistan because there are materials there.)
2 Billion dollars
@@russell6075 that would’ve happened anyway.
@@russell6075 Considering the alternative was a full military invasion, that was inevitable. The Japanese were going to defend their country to the last man, woman and child. The largest estimates summed up the deaths from the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima at around 225,000 in total. Most historians agree that the death toll from an invasion would be far, FAR worse. Anywhere from 5 to 15 million deaths worse. Make no mistake, an invasion would send the entire country of Japan into a war zone and a lot more Japanese civilians would've died.
Insane to think this is a baby explosion compared to what is out there now.
It was a huge explosion it destroyed Japan
@@edvenuto9614 compared to what we have now this is like a drop of water
@@edvenuto9614 Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons of TNT equivalent, Nagasaki 21kt. From what I can tell from open sources, the most common devices in service now or until recently are/were about 200-500kt. The largest nuke ever detonated was 50 MEGAtons, and had a theoretical yield of 100mt if they replaced its lead shielding with uranium.

I'm here after watching Oppenheimer (2023), such a masterpiece of movie, And this video is absolutely precise in how things happened.
The movie doesn't even do a better job at depicting the size the of explosion... BBC literally did it better, without all the marketing campaign about Imax, using an actual size bomb etc...

Kick ass actor.
Rest in peace.

He'd better should had killed himself since he: "... have become death...etc. etc."
Nah, Oppenheimer just enabled the destroyers that will at some point vaporize mankind off this planet.
Can you imagine being one of the men watching, before that test you wouldn’t have ever known what an atomic bomb’s power looked like. You would have been the first to ever witness power like that, it would be unreal.
Wouldn't be there in the first place.
Frightening!
Be like hercule seeing goku go ultra instinct for the first time
Depending on their emotional state at the time they would've either experienced extreme euphoria at the idea of it being capable of ending the war, or they would've experienced extreme dread as that much power can only be minimally controlled.
Yes it's like you somewhat have the picture of what the devastation would be but it's so unreal, you wouldn't belive it in until you saw it with your own eyes..
I have actually held a chunk of the sand that was turned to glass by this bomb. It was brought to my high school American History class by a guest visitor, and it was in a plex glass container that he passed around. When I held it, I thought to myself "I am holding the byproduct of one of the deadliest weapons in history...". It was as bone-chillingly horrifying as it was fascinating.
It was called Trinitite. Or Atomsite.
Christopher Nolan: “Hold my plutonium”
Well all the scientists specifically had three different reactions when they tested the bomb:
A: We did it!
B: Just stared silently in disbelief
C: What have we done?
hmm probably all three
D: Has anyone got some beer ?
Two people laughed, two people cried, everyone else was silent
One person didn’t realise it was a dramatised documentary.

I was born on the year the bomb was dropped. I remember what my mother said about what people thought about, when they heard on the radio about the atomic bomb being dropped on Heroshima. She did not know one person who rejoiced. Everyone was stunned that one single bomb could cause so much destruction. However everyone did rejoice about a month later when the Japanese surrendered. People were more happy that World War 2 finally came to an end, more so than that the United States won the war. No more young men being sent off to the war. No more telegrams explaining that sons, nephews, boyfriends, husbands, brothers, close friends, the kid down the street, were killed in action.
@blitz man boring??
Thank you for sharing this, Kevin! It sounds horrific and like an enormous relief beyond belief.
Huh?
Rewriting history, are we? The US did not cause Germany’s surrender nor Japan’s. The Soviets destroyed 3/4 of the German army (whilst sacrificing 27 million of their own) and Japan surrendered 6 days after the Soviets declared war against Japan. The US, on the other hand, decided to valiantly drop 2 nukes, killing more than 100,000 civilians, not merely from the detonations but also from the unimaginable suffering from the aftermath …
@@tp511 The USSR didn't do crap but get rescued by the US. Us nuking Japan was heroic. You're welcome.
“Albert… "When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world... I believe we did.”

anyone here after watching 'oppenheimer'
“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.”

Sure he did. In 1957, having spent 10 years encouraging development, but when he finally said no to the H-bomb, Strauss had him cashiered.
Just wanna specify that Oppenheimer was the director of the project.
@@wtfduud Yes, he was technical director of the Manhattan Project, under General Leslie Groves who was the overall project director.
I like that they showed Enrico Fermi releasing he bit of paper he used to make an estimate of the energy of the blast.

@@uncovidvaxxforthestrongand3582of he would because that's science and it's a hell of an achievement in human kind though it was for the wrong means but later when he realised the hostility of this weapon specially after the hirshima bomb drop, he wea devastated
@@uncovidvaxxforthestrongand3582 The idea held by many scientists was that it would be enough to just demo the power to Japanese ambassadors, and that would end the war. Instead the US military chose to destroy civilians right away, without a demo.
Please pay attention, it's too important a lesson to lol at.
@@domlans681 In reality, this was not the case. Oppenheimer was not apologetic or dismayed that the bomb was used to end the war. In all honesty, why would he be? The alternative was an invasion that would kill millions of soldiers and civilians, or surrendering and letting Japan continue their brutal war and enslavement of East Asia.
The shot of fermi dropping the bits of paper is such a good detail when talking about the estimations
It's hard to imagine what it must feel like to witness the very first explosion of an atomic bomb. The amount of power far beyond anything ever experienced. The mushroom. The enourmous brightness. The immediate sense that this is biggest leap forward in destruction ability that the world has ever seen, that the damage that can be inflicted in a war is no longer depending on industrial capability but rather restraint.
Seems funny now, but when Alfred Nobel invented dynamite he thought it so destructive nobody would wage war again because the consequences would be so great. Turned out dynamite wasn't nearly powerful enough.
But atomic bombs were. Maybe.
@@alanjm1234 same goes for Gatling, but I think this pattern has reached its end.
@@alanjm1234 Atomic bombs are already over*over*kill, wiping out cities in mere seconds, killing millions in an instant. I've heard this description (not exact): "A nuclear explosion is like every natural disaster all at once, except worse. Humanity is not prepared to deal with such a disaster" from a Kurzgesagt video (check him out btw the animations and explanations are beyond amazing and have improved so much over years). Now this SHOULD be something that makes no one ever want to wage war again because the consequences would be so immense. But sadly, somehow, it isn't. No matter the scale, human corruption and the evil and natural desire to wage war and kill each other will never cease to exist. God have mercy on us all if they invent such weapons that can wipe out an entire continent, or worse. I bet we've already reached that level of advancement in nuclear technologies, but we've just never wanted to actually put it together (I think, who knows if they've already done it and they're just keeping it classified to the public). Truly unthinkable and unreal, a full-out nuclear war (most likely between the US and Russia, North Korea, or China), WWIII. Any measures must be taken to prevent that.
@@bigaraga continent and planet *killers* aren't hard scientifically. We had plans for a cobalt rocket that intentionally spread as much lethal radiation as widely as possible at hypersonic speeds across vast areas, as well as ideas for simply copying the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Fortunately, they were never used.

Who's here after watching Oppenheimer? 😅
The fact that the tsar bomba was over 3000x this explosion is insane
Ya. Shows the big difference between a "atom bomb" and a Hydrogen Bomb.
good thing it's more efficient to saturate a target with multiple nukes instead of one big explosion.
it's a real comfort
The Tsar Bomba was also only at half yield because even the Russians were scared of what it could do.
@@asparagusoffice the thing is
Keeping track of multiple missiles is harder.
And the brute force of one big bomb means that the rest does not need to be as refined.
tsar bomba that was tested was less powerful than what it could have been. They deliberately reduced its payload to ensure that the pilots that dropped it could fly a safe distance away before detonation.
2:49 you can see on the ground where they have driven in the same way for difrent takes
Also because there's more than one vehicle
Good eye
Honestly, if I had a Time machine, and could go to 10 different historical moments, this would be one of the top 5 on my list to see.
im glad this video was suggested during this time, and im from baltic country
the scene where the piece of paper blew out of Fermi's hand is a reference to the concept of Fermi estimation. Fermi used how far that paper flew to estimate the blast yield of the contraction. He was within 1 kiloton of it's true power. Fermi estimation is essentially taking rough measurements and making reasonable assumptions to arrive at a solution that is close to correct because what you overestimate is offset by what you underestimate.
according to a direct quote, he guessed 10,000 tons. the bomb was 25,000 tons. this was determined by barometers measuring the same thing as Fermi, as well as a host of other instruments measuring other aspects of the blast.
also it's crazy, we call Fermi Estimation something else outside of America, maybe you've heard of "educated guessing." it works because if you recognize your guess as being overestimated or underestimated, (get this right?) it doesn't become your guess. wild.
The guy's eyes during the "Death, destroyer of world's" quote just looked lifeless... He's not proud, he's not bragging, he's not trying to make himself look badass in any way... he's just sitting there with the horrible realization that he is responsible for the creation of a weapon that has the potential to wipe human civilization off the map. Can you even imagine how he must have felt about it? There is obviously the excitement and celebration of succeeding with the task of creating the bomb, but I feel like that would be short lived soon after realizing what you had really done.
Most of the people on the video of that speech he made says he looked proud and smiled,but no sane man would feel proud for destroying 800,000 lives
I'd feel like a monster. Just horrified by what we have created.
@@hardbumpy8400 it does look like he is smiling slightly. yet his eyes are completely vacant. an insane man.
What are you talking about? Bragging? What would he brag about? It was Europeans who created the weapon. Oppenheimer himself didn’t have even 5% of their knowledge. Look at the biggest contributors to the Manhattan Project and you’ll see they were European. Start blaming them!
@@hardbumpy8400 It is not him who built the bomb. He hasn’t destroyed any lives.
2:24 Fermi dropped pieces of paper to, through dimensional analysis, estimate the power of the bomb - he'd worked out a rough equation that related distance they flew backwards to the power of the bomb. He was pretty close to right.
Jesus they knew their stuff back then.

I could listen to John Hurt talk about grass growing! Rest in Peace you incredible man! 👌
Is that the unparalleled John Hurt narrating this? He's one of the very few actors who will never be adequately replaced. A unique talent.
A few hours ago I watched a very amateur bootleg copy of OPPENHEIMER. Despite the poor sound, unsteady camera (hidden from staff whilst secretly filming the screen in a cinema?) unwanted internet gambling site ads and French subtitles, I was still _absolutely_ engrossed for its full three hour runtime. It's restored my faith in movies - studios still finance mega-budget films for adult audiences with complex themes and nuanced protagonists. It's a masterpiece that I _must_ see on the cinema screen with professional theater sound.
THE CAST is stellar. Even characters who appear in only one or two scenes, with maybe two lines of dialogue, have hugely successful actors cast in the roles. Although appearing for a relatively short time the character of Colonel Boris Pash really grabbed by attention, to such an extent that I spent an hour 'researching' him (googling) as soon as the film ended. Played by the increasingly impressive Casey Affleck [possible replacement for hugely missed Daniel Day Lewis?] as an enigmatic yet deeply sinister U.S military security expert of Tsarist Russian heritage, with a fanatical vocation to anti-communism. His performance proves the Stanslavski quote: 'There are no small parts, only small actors'.
John Hurt was such a great narrator and actor.
R.I.P.

Once.
Now this bomb is equivalent to a hand grenade. Same thing with the explosion. Just a cute pop.
I just watched Oppenheimer (2023)
Neither the tower nor the shot cab was stainless steel.
They were a minimum of 5.7 miles (10,000 yards) from the blast. The blast wave out there was about 5 mph for 5 seconds.
Oppenheimer's pitch about the Bagahvad Gita was 15 years later. He no doubt felt the weight of responsibility at the time, but few regrets. He quashed such a protest from Leo Szilard a week after the test.
"Cracking the Earth's crust" was never even considered a threat. The threat studied to death was igniting the atmosphere (or even the Earth itself) in a nuclear chain reaction.
i was wondering too.. shockwaves don't work like that
These weapons of mass destruction were used 5000+ years ago by Indian vedic samurai (yodhas) traces of such can be found in Mahabharata and the indus valley civilization. There usage and knowledge was abolished by the GOD himself and the learnings were forbidden
I was wondering why in the world they'd use stainless for the tower.
@@utkarshv3110 no
@@utkarshv3110 they lived in stone huts without proper roads or water system (compared to the romans, never mind modern) yet could build wepons of mass destruction? Far less technological then the egytians during the same period. heck even Mesopotamia 1000 years earlier build far more impresive monuments showing signs of advanced engineering. What they are know for are the urban planing.
Also Mahabharata was written over 2000 years after the fall of the indus valley civilization.
Notice that they didn't even test the gun-type design of Little Boy. They knew it would work, and had almost zero doubt. In a sense, it was truly tested in Japan.
I think that is why it was dropped first. If the first bomb had been a fizzle the effect would have been to undermine the threat.
A day which will live in got you back.
Omaha beach got all the attention via the film Saving Private Ryan. The Marines that stormed Guadalcanal and other islands in the Pacific ran into similar circumstances, if not worse. The Japanese were so gun ho that the survivors swam out to sea to drown rather than be captured.
I think The Thin Red Line depicts Guadalcanal
It's pretty cool how the bomb works. Not cool how we use them.
Nuclear bombs are one of the greatest inventions by humans. They are one of the most beautiful things ever. We shouldn't use them because we are scared of Soviets winning the Japan war. We should use them if we are threatened. Nuclear bombs are the reasons we haven't had a 3rd world war. They are peace keeping weapons

“Would someone stop Fermi, he’s scaring the privates!” Lol
He said, "He is scarring the MPs."
Enrico Fermi is one of my fav scientists
Oppenheimer hits different
My late father-in-law, who did get to meet Dr Oppenheimer at a conference years later, was in the outskirts of Hiroshima the morning the bomb was dropped. I got to ask him about the event, what he told me was unexpected; he recalled thinking it was the most "beautiful thing he ever saw". That was the reaction. He reminded me, that he had no idea what it was, it was secret, the world did not know about such weapons. To him, for a few seconds, it was simply a beautiful radiant light. After the war, US research scientists came to studying the aftermath, one of which sponsored him to become a US citizen where eventually he became a scientist himself. In his career he helped found the NOAA ships of opportunity program, helped create models of deep-sea ocean currents and eventually introduced to Dr Oppenheimer at a conference. I'm not confident about what was said precisely, this came directly from him, at that time he was a practicing Quaker, but he claimed it was a simple "thank you". I have a hard time reconciling that.

It would be cool if we could get a side by side comparison of a convention bomb detonated at the same distance as that nuke just to full appreciate how powerful nukes are.

Interestingly, we have conventional warheads both smaller and more powerful than both nuclear bombs dropped in Japan.

Wow!
2:26 "The force of the explosion was estimated--"by Enrico Fermi, shown here dropping shreds of paper to estimate the wind speed of the blast. He was famous for that sort of ad hoc estimation. He estimated 10,000 kilotons, about half the actual value, but with the right order of magnitude, good enough for government work. To this day, physics texts still offer "Fermi Problems", which you are supposed to answer by crude approximation to show your grasp of the fundamentals, not to obtain exact answers by detailed calculation. Another that I've seen: A tire loses 3/16" of tread after 10,000 miles. How much tread wears away at each revolution of the tire? (Notice you have to guess the diameter of the tire.)
cool stuff!
@Sadeeq Hasan • 10 years ago Ok
Half inch?
"but within an order of magnitude, that's good enough for government work"
if only he actually said that, that line's a nobel prize in itself
Imagine seeing a nuclear detonation in real life. Even from a safe distance, it would be awesome and terrifying
from a "safe distance" you wouldn't be able to see it. The shock wave goes for miles and miles, bursting everyone's ear drums.
@@maxmckay4793 That's not true at all. It depends a lot on the yield of the weapon, and it most certainly is possible to view from a safe distance.

When I worked for an electric utility, I had to wear (in many locations) clothing that was rated not to catch fire with 2 seconds of exposure to the temperature of the surface of the sun... more accurately, 10,000F. We semi-joked about it as being so they could see where we had been standing.

Hats off to the general....doing his absolute DAMNEDEST to croak out an American accent hahaha
british accent better than american
@@spoon5255
What?
@@manifestgtr Extreme american accent is way worse than british accent
@@itstimetomakelol6650
Give me an example of an “extreme” American accent. I’m not even sure I know what an “extreme” British accent would be....maybe some rural Scottish accent that barely anyone can understand...
That’s a bizarre way to put it, though...extreme...
I hope you're being sarcastic. That Brit's "American" dialect is even worse than Ben Kingsley or Liam Neeson's. Although you could fill Yankee stadium with Americans who can't do a Brit dialect.
This documentary showing on my feeds just now. I better watch Oppenheimer 🤯🤯🤯
You better watch it now
Can youtube please stop with these type of recommendations...it's getting outta hand
1:24 lol Enrico Fermi being a clown. I love it!
2:14: When drill sergeant caught you cheating
Props to the camera men for getting this footage for real👌🏿👌🏿
Who is here after watching Oppenheimer? Such a fascinating take
He actually saved more lives, not just talking of ww2 but in general avoided many wars
oh dont say that
Yeah but their bomb has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more killing power than that of conventional weapons, if one nuke is dropped today, billions will die from the ensuing nuclear war
@Basil He probably refers more to balance of terror or consept of mutually assured destruction. Threat of nuclear weapons possibly prevented cold war from escalating to ww 3.
nonsense
No
2:02 Sure it was stainless?
Can't have stain if it's not there anymore
John Hurt is such an amazing narrator!!
Excellent narration
$2 Billion for a weapon so deadly it has ever been used twice against humanity
$600+ Billion for a fighter jet that doesn’t work
Oh how far we have fallen
Herschell Miller Research and development for a single fighter
EpicClone5082 currency wasn’t worth the same as it does today back then
Advancing tech is hard
SinDawg030 If we factored in inflation that brings $2B to $27B still a hefty price tag. Then you consider its a nuclear weapon vs. a fighter jet. A jet that likely would’ve been done years ago had Lockheed allow Boeing to assist them.
EpicClone5082 if it ain't boeing, i'm not going.
3:02 Oppenheimer: *Wait what?*
Was it really a surprise to him lol
@@NitpickingNerd no
