Question about this video: When the bomb detonates, we see a bright flash that gets darker after a moment just to become much brighter afterwards.
Is that the sign of a hydrogen bomb? The initial flash is the fission stage and the second one when the fusion starts working? Or is the whole process much, much faster?
Oppenheimer probably isn't coming. Some cunt shared pictures of his wife a week or so back and he says he's done.
As for the double flash, it's found in all nuclear weapons and is explained here: quora.com
No, it's just the camera iris working.
Checked and correct
The moment you see the first flash the bomb's assembly has allready vaporized itself.
But here is the thing: Most of the nuclear reaction's energies are given off as X-rays, which in turn ionize the gasified remains of the bomb and the air around.
This is important, beacuse ionized matter is opaque to electromagnetic radiation and leads to the now forming fireball trapping and absorbing most of the intense short wave radiation.
That is the moment you'll see a short drop in brightness.
Inside of the fireball electromagnetic radiation gets emitted and absorbed and re-emitted and gradually gets converted into radiation of longer wavelenghts.
And as the fireball contiues to grow it has more and more surface to give its energy off, the now in the form of visible light and longer wavelenghts like infrared etc.
This is the point where the brightness increases again and after wich the fireball starts to break up to form a mushroom cloud.
TD;DR: The double flash is typical for all large nukes.
It's the camera adjusting to the brightness. Looking into a nuclear explosion can cause blindness. Point a camera at something indoors and then at a window and you'll see the same effect. Any other answer is incorrect and spouted by a faggot who doesn't know shit about anything.
You geniuses realize that there were no digital cameras in the 1950s?
>only digital cameras do this
>Oppenheimer
I haven't seen him in around 4 months, did he ever come back?
This is why we cant have nice things
It's the camera adjusting
/thread
It's definitely NOT the camera adjusting itself. That just wasn't technically possible before the end of atmospheric nuke tests
>Some cunt shared pictures of his wife a week or so back and he says he's done.
fucking damned. Some people here should be fucking gassed. Scaring away the only trip worth its salt
Good. Jow Forums is not a fanclub. He's said he's done about twenty times now, but he'll be back, like the attention-starved manchild he is.
Auto focus hadn't been invented yet dumbass
Of course! As everybody knows, a bomb magically cloaks the entire environment in darkness.
But see, people liked his posts. He was of some value to people here. Unlike you.
>driving away actual experts
Get the fuck out
So, if there isn't any hope of him coming back. I need a picture of his wife for, reasons.
bomb shits out an assload of radiation when it detonates, including a lot of visible light. This only happens once at the exact moment the bomb goes off, but there's so much of it that it literally ionizes and subsequently combusts millions of gallons of atmospheric chemicals such as nitrogen and makes a giant fucking ball of nitrates and ozone. This ball of nitrates and ozone become opaque under the heat and pressure of the kaboom, and once they start to dissipate just a moment after the first radiation-shitting the light from the fireball shines through the ball. It's less apparent with smaller bombs but all nukes do it.
Yeah no disrespect to oppen, but I'm interested to see what he's working with. Anyone have the archive link to the thread?
Pretty much, dude gives us gold and some faggots have to be mad about it.
>Asshole tripfags are tolerated from some reason and left alone

What a world

hmmmmm
>his wife
is she thot?
He dumped her pic accidentally back around 2014 iirc
Heat. There's a flash, but dust gets in the way.
As the balloon goes up the reaction keeps going.
Fusion reactions continue after the detonation.
As long as there is stuff to burn it burns.
Not same user, but the absolute instance of detonation, mostly scene in those ultra fast frame camera's, it looks like a star, in saying that, and call me a brainlet away, that is basically what a nuke is, a star that does not have enough fuel to continue?
