Researchers have revealed what it would look like if a nuclear explosion occurred.

You may’ve seen – or heard, if you were in a different room watching Barbie – the sound of an atomic bomb going off in Oppenheimer, but do you know what effect one could have on its surroundings if it went off today?

Well, a team of researchers have harnessed the power of technology to predict what could happen.

A team of researchers from the University of Nicosia (UNIC) in Cyprus looked into what would happen in the event of a nuclear explosion, and how it could impact surrounding buildings and people.

Titled Nuclear explosion impact on humans indoors, the paper investigated what would happen if an intercontinental ballistic missile caused an atomic bomb explosion.

Using advanced computer modeling, the team created two videos showing how such an explosion would alter the temperature of its surroundings, alongside how the sheer force of the air the explosion would generate could impact buildings and people.

And if you wanted to see a simulation of what it looks like from a person’s point of view on the ground, well another video has been shared to X – formerly known as Twitter – by Historic Vids (@historyinmemes), and it’s pretty horrifying………………………………………………………. more https://www.unilad.com/news/world-news/nuclear-explosion-simulator-scary-670922-20240117
