Biggest bomb evar.

Select notable points:

"The seismic shock of the test went around the Earth three times."

"...the average power produced during the entire fission-fusion process, lasting around 3.9×10^-8 seconds or 39 nanoseconds, was about 5.3×10^24 watts or 5.3 yottawatts. This constitutes over 1% of the power output of the Sun (383 yottawatts) over the same time interval."


Sometimes I wonder why I've never heard about these things. O_o

(there be a link to a video of it at the bottom of the external links section, too, incase you may miss it)

I've seen it numerous times on discovery, it's a jawsome sight but thank god they never dropped it on a country or whatnot.

Why would they have dropped it on a country?

Anyway, just detonate about 72 of these at the same time and for 39 nanoseconds we have our very own sun! \^_^/

Biggest bomb evar, and it was detonated in 1961, 45 years ago. I guess the large-scale nuclear testing hasn't been as big since then.

No, thankfully, there hasn't.

So technically detonating 72 of these things at once even in the same area would be more then enough to destroy the world...

I can just see the Russians at the end of the Cold War piling these things up in Siberia and one guy leading a trail of gasoline away from it.

It won't destroy Earth, but... the chance of life continuing after would be pretty remote. You know, dust clouds and all that. And um... radiation.
