Or better yet use a nuke on a small pacific island and mutate an iguana into a giant laser beam firing mutant and point it towards Japan!

Wait, that sounds familiar... Arrow

I would just like to be able to live in a ghost city with fiber internet, I would reenact I am legend, and shoot zombie targets at the mall.

Could this be replicated in jita, for scientific purposes?



The US and New Zealand experimented with atomic bombs in 1944 in order to create a Tsunami Bomb. It was called Project Seal.

They found a single bomb would not work but if they lined up a number of of them about 5 miles of shore it would create a destructive wave.

Just Google "Project Seal" if you want to know more.

Now you have made public Chinas plan to take over the world, it won't happen now.

The Chinese secret state police will take you to a place of execution for being a traitor.

They will have to resort to a silly plan of filling a football stadium full of obese citizens and get them to do the Mexican wave continuous until it starts an earthquake to set off a tsunami, it wont work very well. This is known as the jelly effect Blink

Nuclear bombs aren't powerful enough to cause tsunamis.



If placed properly could they not cause much worse? Say drop and detonate in any one of the 'holes' along the ring of fire Shocked

I doubt it, purely because the US woulda rigged up about a trillion holes with atomic bombs during the Cold War if this was possible. Since we haven't heard of this, it's probably not plausible.

I am pretty sure there are quite a few things we haven´t heard about.

Considering those things we DO_hear_about, they are probably a lot worse....

I'm more concerned about Sharknados than Tsunamibombs.

China should just get Exxon, BP, Shell, etc. to do some hydraulic fracking around Japan. You get your tsunamis for free, and no messy fireballs.

A 1968 research report sponsored by the US Office of Naval Research addressed this hypothesis of coastal damage due to large explosion-generated waves, and found theoretical and experimental evidence showing it to be relatively inefficient in wave-making potential, with most wave energy dissipated by breaking on the continental shelf before reaching the shore.


Nuclear weapons pale in comparison to the kinds of energy our planet throws around pretty regularly.
For example a fully developed hurricane releases heat energy at the equivalent rate of a 10 megaton thermonuclear warhead going off every 20 minutes.
