What REALLY Happens if You Nuke the Mariana Trench? - Nuclear Engineer Reacts to AngeloMotion
Credibility score: 85/100 — Highly Credible. This video is highly credible with well-supported claims.
Claims analyzed
Tsar Bomba is 50MT thermonuclear air burst weapon, not for underwater. — Verified (100/100)
Spot on — Tsar Bomba was indeed a 50MT airburst bomb tested in 1961, never meant for water. Full credit.
People expect nuking trench causes massive tsunamis, earthquakes. — Opinion (50/100)
Fair guess on public expectations — Hollywood nuke flicks prime us for mega-disasters.
Nuke effects insignificant vs geological forces like plate tectonics. — Solid (85/100)
Nailed the scale — 50MT is a firecracker next to Earth's tectonics. Love this perspective.
Nuke energy tiny vs geological forces by millions-billions times — Verified (95/100)
Spot on — Tsar Bomba's 50 megatons is peanuts next to earthquakes. Puts nuke hype in perspective instantly.
Nuke at 11km depth: plasma fireball bubble, water acts different under 1100 atm — Solid (85/100)
Correct on extreme pressure changing everything — water's near-incompressible down there, kills the fireball fast.
Bubble size 10-100m max, oscillates seconds not crushed instantly — Verified (92/100)
Nailed the bubble pulse — observed in real tests. Way smaller than viral hype, oscillates like a breathing beast.
Cold War tests showed bubble oscillations; fallout dissolves into water/shock waves — Solid (88/100)
Tests match perfectly on oscillations + fallout dispersion. No 'pockets' — just nasty dissolved rads spreading out.
