What Happens if You Nuke the Mariana Trench? 🤔
Credibility score: 64/100 — Mostly Credible. Mixed credibility - some claims are solid, others need verification.
Claims analyzed
Tsar Bomba in Mariana Trench: fireball bubble size of 10 soccer fields, crushed instantly by ocean, expands/shrinks until torn apart — Solid (82/100)
Tsar Bomba detail is spot-on — underwater nuke sims confirm the bubble physics. The '10 soccer fields' is a fun visualization but checks out roughly.
Bubble expands/shrinks repeatedly, torn into smaller radioactive pockets by pressure — Dubious (45/100)
Cool visualization but physics of underwater nuke bubbles isn't quite this simple — cavitation happens, but 'radioactive pockets' is a stretch 😬
