What if Kim Jong-Un threw the atomic bomb he is threatening to throw?

“It could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific” Mr Ri told reporters at the United Nations in New York.

If Kim Jong-Un would threw the atomic bomb he is threatening to throw, the counterstrike should take less than 30 minutes, the time the bomb would take to reach the United States. Donald Trump would  have to take 4 steps if he wanted to counterattack: This 4 steps would take 5 minutes for terrestrials and 15 minutes for submarines, people who would launch the bomb.

The “football” would be used. Every President from a nation has a black satchel, it must be opened only in case that the president of the nation allows to. If the president would give the order to open it, commanders should read the instructions inside this briefcase and obey the orders.

If the President wanted to counterstrike, would be obliged to warn 2 people, and receive advise from them:
    • Secretary of Defence, Jim Mattis
    • Strategic Commandant
If this two people agreed, they would give orders and codes that must be inside the briefcase. The president has a target he must wear always, called The Biscuit. It has codes that need to be introduced into a machine combined with some codes only known by the President.

Give advise to the Throwing Team: they don’t have any option and must do what the president says.

Joseph Cirincione President of the Ploughshares Fund “The president can order a nuclear strike in about the time it takes to write a Tweet”.

Atomic bombs are prohibited by an international law, but the speed of this action, wouldn’t give time to stop one from being thrown.


But… What would be the consequences of an atomic bomb?

If the bomb detonated in the Pacific:

Firstly, it would provoke lots of enormous waves, causing tsunamis that would attack the nearest  coasts.
Secondly, it would appear a shock wave expanding in a vertiginous speed and detaching lots of particles. This, would cause the death of all the marine species around the area.
In third place, the radioactive rain.
In forth place, the food (mainly marine) would be contaminated, causing illnesses in the consumers.
In fifth place, the psychologic consequences, changing their routines and habits to adapt the new ecosystem and radioactive risks.
In sixth place, it would cause an increase of heat around the world, provoking more consequences caused of the global warming.
In seventh place, would cause fire in lots of points around the world and could be uncontrolled.

According to Neil Halloran (expert in data display), and because of the effects explained previously, it would kill more or less 500 million people during the first 3 weeks.

What if I found a dragon egg? (Story format) Everything started a few weeks ago... Me and my family went to the mountain on a mushroom search, and at the end of it I found a strange rock. It was coloured with cyan and white tones, and without any doubt I took it to my house. After two days the rock made a move but I didn’t really care about it. Then the same night the I heard a weird noise in my room, and I was sure it wasn’t a fly or a mosquito doing his beep. I found out that the sound came from the rock. It was starting to crack.  When the thing that was inside finally broke the supposed rock, it made a little roar. I saw it, it was a kind of reptilian head I had never seen before. I grabbed the rock and put it on the closet. Before starting to find out what was that, I grabbed some food leftovers from the dinner. I thought that if it was a new born he or she must be hungry. I gave the food to the creature and I started to make a little research about it. I called...

Let's suppose that we were able to tie an indestructible rope from the moon and let it hang in the earth surface. The attachment can’t be torn from the moon's surface. So, let's see what would happen if we did it. First of all we have to consider that the movement of the moon around the earth is not completely circular, it is elliptical. That means that the rope would be swinging around the earth's surface at different heights depending on the day time. Roses are red, my name is not Dave, we are still writing this article, microwave Tulips are yellow, beatiful is the moon, don't worry my fellow, we will finish it soon...

What if climate change and pollution end up killing all bees in the world? We, humans, are yet aware of all the damage we are causing in the environment of the planet, causing the sea level rising, extreme climatology, death of species... but we are yet not doing anything about it. And that last thing, the death of species, would have a tremendous effect if that species is the bee. Yellow are the bees, incomplete this still is, the article is a sample, just to make an example. If you want to read it all, you must not make a phone call, just tell us your direction, and we'll take you to the science section.
