The strongest nuclear bomb ever built by mankind is the Soviet Tsar bomb. The Soviet Union built two tsarist bombs during the Cold War, one for test detonation and one for backup. The test site was on Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Ocean, and the early design explosion power of the Tsar bomb was at least 100 million tons of TNT. Because the Soviet Union had no bottom in mind at that time, afraid that the power was too great, and accidentally blew up the earth, they deliberately cut the power of the Tsar bomb by half before conducting a test explosion. The actual explosive power is about 50 million tons, equivalent to 3800 Hiroshima atomic bombs. After the end of the test explosion, almost all the surface bulges within the scope of the explosion on Novaya BV were razed to the ground.
Now the strongest nuclear bomb, we have, so where is the deepest part of the ocean? The famous Mariana Trench, of course. The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench in the world known to man, located near the Mariana Islands in the eastern Philippines, with a maximum depth of 11,034 meters.
Okay, then we just need to put the Tsar Bomb into the deepest part of the ocean floor and detonate it. But we can't just throw the bomb into the Mariana Trench, it may not be ready to sink, it will be abandoned, as the depth increases, the pressure of the sea water also increases greatly, in the deepest part of the trench, the pressure is a staggering 1100 atmospheres. The Tsarist bomb may have been crushed to pieces before it reached the bottom of the sea. So what do we do?
To throw the world's strongest nuclear bomb into the Mariana Trench and detonate it, we need a special vehicle to get it to its destination. What kind of powerful vehicles can accomplish this difficult task? The answer is the continent's Strivers submersible, which once reached a depth of 10,909 meters in a trench.
Okay, now that everything was in place, the Tsar bomb was finally delivered, to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, and successfully detonated. What happens next? For the first 30 seconds of the explosion, there was no anomaly on the surface of the sea, and there was no mushroom cloud that was the signature of the nuclear bomb explosion, and everything was calm and unexpected, even a little strange. At this time, at a depth of 10,000 meters on the seabed, with the center of the explosion as the core, the surrounding seawater was instantly evaporated by the high temperature generated by the nuclear explosion, forming a super bubble with a diameter of 1,000 meters. As the bubbles rise and the energy of the nuclear explosion spreads outward, what happens next?
Will it set off 100-meter-high waves, trigger an unprecedented super tsunami, destroy most coastal cities, and even cause the earth's crust plates to shake, resulting in a large number of volcanic eruptions? The answer may be unexpected.
Is a 50 million-ton TNT-equivalent nuclear bomb really powerful? It is indeed very large, equivalent to 3800 Hiroshima atomic bombs. But this force is simply not worth mentioning in the face of the great eruption of the Tonga volcano. It is estimated that the energy released by the volcanic eruption in Tonga is about 540 million tons of TNT equivalent, equivalent to 36,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs. In this comparison, our strongest nuclear bomb is not as small as its fraction. Even such a strong volcanic eruption, from space to see the whole picture, is just a small bubble on the surface of the earth, and it has not produced any earth-shattering impact.
Mankind's strongest nuclear bomb, the 1,000-meter diameter bubble formed by the explosion in the deep sea, may not be able to float to the surface of the sea in its entirety, it will be crushed by the super pressure of the deep sea, and quickly filled by the surrounding seawater, and then completely disappear. We won't see tsunamis at all, crustal plates won't shake, and volcanoes won't erupt. The atmosphere is not filled with volcanic ash and high temperature water vapor, and it is raining continuous acid rain.
The energy released by the 50 million tons of TNT explosion is indeed very powerful, but this force is simply weak in front of nature. The power of a nuclear bomb is simply not comparable to the power of nature. Rumors like what nuclear bombs all over the world explode together and can destroy the earth many times are nonsense.
