loving you always ♥
today was a brief introduction from my teacher on the topic. nuclear reactivity and radioactivity. it reminds me so much about the gamma ray burst and the cosmic expansion of the universe and stuff. he was like talking about nuclear bombs and the ones that were dropped on Japan during wwII
some would be wondering. whats exactly is Einstein's E=mc² ?
E would be the energy released
M would be the mass of the object
C² would be the speed of light [ ( 3 x 10^8 ms) x ( 3 x 10^8 ms) ]
in his theory. every mass have the potential to release energy. say, taking a kilo of pure uranium.
1 kilo = 1000g
we use the formula to calculate the energy produced from a 1kilo atomic bomb.
E = 1000 x (3 x 10^8)²
E = 3 x 10^19 Joules
thats equivalents to 3 solar energy mass of our sun. now lets recap on the atomic bomb that struck japan there 3 zones starting from the epicenter of the landing of the bomb
1st zone: 50km from the epicenter of the explosion, everything vaporises. you'll just disappear as if you never existed. why? the heat from the explosion is 3 times the temperature of the core of our sun.
2nd zone: probably 200km from epicenter. every living human beings skins start to peel off their body. melting off the cells and some even loses their legs or hands just fell apart. this zone's the worst.
3rd zone: probably 1000 km from epicenter. you'll feel nothing. but you'll soon realize your babies would have growth defects and mutations.
and yeah what if wwIII was fought by atomic bombs? that would be the destruction of mankind.
