Sam’s good post about the Fermi Paradox can actually be referenced here which shows what happens when you make a good post. I’m not going to reiterate the points he made about the Fermi Paradox but one reason we may not see other intelligent life forms is because “Intelligent life can’t help but destroy itself.”
2 days ago, North Korea created a 5.1 magnitude earthquake from what they claim was a “hydrogen” bomb. What is a Hydrogen Bomb? by CNN is where I will pull tidbits to give you an idea of the differences between Hydrogen and Atomic bombs.
- Atomic bombs use fission. Hydrogen bombs use fusion.
- The largest hydrogen bomb ever tested was by Russia in 1961. It measured 50,000 kilotons.
- In comparison, the atomic bombs used by the US on Japan measured 500 kilotons. The 2 bombs killed more than 200,000 people.
- North Korea is the only nation to have conducted nuclear tests in the 2000’s.
Scientist’s don’t believe that N. Korea tested a Hydrogen bomb because the blast was inconsistent with past results.
How Many Nations Have Nukes?
9 – USA, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and N. Korea
Who has the most? – Russia and the USA have about 7,000 warheads. The other 8 nations combined have a little over 1,000. North Korea has 6-8.
Would you have any idea that Russia and the US have this many? When did this happen? It’s like during the 60’s all these country’s did was produce nuclear weapons. It sort of makes sense though because the US is all by itself and Russia is so big they can test anywhere without worrying much. Having this many nuclear weapons must be making up for other deficiencies like a small penis.
Are We Scared of N. Korea?
I have never been this happy. If a submarine energizes him like this, think about what bombs do.
This is the question everyone should be asking and I for one should not be answering. To come full circle to the top of this point and human life blowing themselves up, yes, we should be scared. Nuclear and hydrogen bombs come with severe consequences and human emotions get tested. If a nation gets blown up, the only retaliation is to blow the other side up with more destructive results.
North Korea poses the question, “you all have nuclear warheads, why shouldn’t we?” Fair question. The answer of your a fucking idiot and you’ll blow yourself up probably wouldn’t go over well. This isn’t saying other nations are so well grounded either, but Kim Jung seems particularly happy to have nuclear weapons for offense instead of defense. On the rare chance that N. Korea fires one of these at the US or anywhere else, the retaliation damage will be so severe you’ll have to use a spatula to get his remains off of the bottom of the ocean. Good luck.
I’m under the impression that if they fired one at the US, our anti-missile defenses would detect and destroy it before it got half way across the Pacific. However, I’m completely uninformed, so I might be giving our defense too much credit. Also, there are other ways to get it close without firing a missile from North Korea, but my same thinking applies to those other options as well. Once again, I could be totally off-base here.
“Scientist’s don’t believe that N. Korea tested a Hydrogen bomb because the blast was inconsistent with past results.”
The reason people don’t believe they have a hydrogen bomb is because the seismic activity of the most recent blast (2016) was actually CONSISTENT with their last test (2013), which they stated was an atomic bomb. In addition, the jump from atomic to hydrogen bomb making capabilities is a huge technological feat that took highly developed countries many years. This is why many experts are assuming N. Korea of all nations most likely hasn’t made that jump that quickly.
They’re just saying they have a hydrogen bomb so they receive more foreign aid because it’s about to be winter and they pretty much rely on that this time of year. We give in to these demands because were dealing with a child ruler. Kim tells the country the aid we’ve provided are gifts from the rest of the world because we fear the great and powerful Best Korea. N. Korean citizens eat that shit up because they have no idea whats going on because this is what their window to the world looks like.

I threw that in there to see if you’d catch that, Alex.
