What splits the atom? I mean, How does the atom split causing the nuclear reaction?

it can also be done by compressing high explosives around the nuclear component, which brings the uranium/plutonium to a critical density. |

I really don't think we're going to wipe ourselves out. But that's just me. I think everyone has a bad habit of underestimating man kind. It's not like we blow something up and then not feel bad about it. The first nuke that was dropped, man, the kind of regret that goes with that has to be monumental for everyone involved. So acting like people are just ruthless killing machines couldn't be further from the truth. It would take a true sociopath to even begin to get the human race on the road to self destruction; then he would have to get a hell of a lot of people to follow him.

Personally, I think mankind is too stupid to blow itself up.
If we were smart, we'd have done it already. |

Underestimate, severley underestimate... Potato, potato. We get the same result either way.
Mal EDIT: I just noticed the potato potato thing doesn't work unless spoken. The second one is "Po-tah-toe" while the first one is "Po-tay-toe". So... Potaytoe Potahtoe.

as far as countries using nuclear weapons on each other, if it's going to happen anywhere, it will be between india and pakistan, and that doesnt seem very likely at the moment.

How do we know you're telling the truth?
Or is this a topic to discuss nuclear weapons, and/or government/military secrecy? |

more fun then working with the nukes directly is working on the missile defense shield. Much easier to be the technogeek then the other end. Maybe i'll apply to raytheon or lincoln labs... haven't decided yet
