On August 6, 1945 the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan and the world stood back horrified at the destructive force that man had created with nature and technology. Tens of thousands of people were killed, most of which by terrible burns and radiation poisoning. Everyone thought that the ultimate military weapon had been discover short of the wrath of god, but they were wrong.
In 1952 the first Hydrogen bomb was tested in Enewetok. Enewetok is an island that was originally given to Japan by the League of Nations. It was later captured during World War II and designated as a nuclear test site. Of course before the testing began the islands inhabitants were evacuated. It was later deemed safe to come back there and resume life in 1980. The bomb which was nicknamed "Mike" had a mushroom cloud eight miles across and twenty seven miles tall and the canopy was 100 miles across. It made a crater two hundred feet deep and six thousand five hundred feet across. Eighty million tons of Earth was vaporized. In comparison the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb is a match to a stick of dynamite.
In 1953 the USSR (or Russia now a days)
These bombs if put in the wrong hands could be the end of everything in the world, especially us. These technologies are too dangerous to have for humans to control. I know this is not an opinion paper but I still am still going to put in my two cents. If you ask me (which you didn't) I feel we should go back to fighting like cave men, who ever had the largest stick wins. This will ensure that only the strong survive, and not everyone dies.
Once again the world is amazed by the destructive force man possesses but this not the end of the bomb making capabilities human possess. The next step in terribly destructive devices is a little something called a neutron bomb. It would be constructed with minimum trigger and a nonfissionable tamper. This means that the blast would be very good for not leveling tall buildings. Also it would be good for wiping out every organic thing in the blast zone. Also an advantage of this bomb would be that since there would only be a hail of neutrons there would be very little lethal fall out. This means that after dropping a bomb, it would be safe to return after a year or so.
