I tend to fall on the side of Nuclear Weapons are comms for Nation Destroying Info...
But seriously, all the stuff I asked in the title, I haven't seen vids yet & am wondering if any normies will ask the same questions too, or if there is a rational explanation why there isn't nuclear fallout (assuming there isn't, or it isn't made a big deal)?
What are the constituents of black powder? Sulfur, carbon black, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Separately, they are no big deal. Mix them together homogeneously and you have a high explosive, which is a chemical reaction (oxidation) among the ingredients.
The atomic bomb is a manifestation of a nuclear reaction, incited in a fissionable material with high sensitivity to neutron activation, AND the ability to produce more neutrons upon reacting, so as to achieve a self-perpetuating chain reaction. The primary bomb fissionable ingredients are either Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. A chemical explosion releases the energy latent in chemical bonds. A nuclear explosion releases the energy latent in the conversion of mass to energy. It is many orders of magnitude greater (per unit mass of the explosive material) than a chemical explosion. The speed of this energy release is much higher than the speed of the propagation of a chemical reaction, as a result of the geometric growth of the numbers of available neutrons through the chain reaction process.
Does this help? It is off the top of my head, but it is correct.
