The Doomsday Clock, a symbolic metaphor that represents how likely it is that a human-made, worldwide disaster will kill us all. The closer it is to midnight, the closer we are to that actually happening. Members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been revealing how close we are to global destruction going back all the way to 1947.
Today there are an estimated 12,500 nuclear warheads still in existence.
Now, the fear is that if one government were to ever use a nuclear weapon, the government of the country hit by one would retaliate. The next thing you know, it could spiral out of control. Nukes dropped everywhere and we’re all dead. This fear was THE FEAR that was everywhere during the Cold War.
The end of the Cold War in 1991 got rid of much of those fears of nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, though, the Doomsday Clock has been headed straight for midnight ever since. In recent years, the threat of nuclear war has returned, and it hasn’t been the ONLY thing the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have been worried about. They’ve also said the lack of support for taking action in response to climate change has led to the Doomsday Clock being closer to midnight.
But the thing is, there were times in recent history in which the Doomsday Clock actually would have arguably been…like…at ONE SECOND to midnight. We just didn’t realize it until later on.
And that’s what this video’s about.
Here are three times the world almost ended.
One crazy thing to think about is that you may be watching this video right now or listening…I do realize many of you don’t like to look at my face…whatever. But yeah, you may be consuming this video right now and there might be a nuke about to be launched. Did you hear that? A nuke possibly just almost got launched! And we won’t find out about this for a long time.

Edit: A really important point I should have brought up- the reason why Khrushchev sent nuclear missiles to Cuba was because the United States had nuclear missiles in Turkey near the Soviet border. This is context I should have brought up. I was trying to simplify the Cuban Missile Crisis, and I simplified it a bit too much. How likely is it that nuclear war will happen in our lifetimes?

The thing is, I'm 65 years old, and if I stayed awake worrying about everything that could kill me, I'd never sleep again. In fact, I could walk outside right now and be hit by a meteorite - I told my husband that if that ever happens to me, he can sell it, and use part of the money to fund a scholarship for women to study astronomy. He said he'd tell the people at my memorial service, "She always said that was the way she wanted to go." So, I just look both ways before crossing the street and I follow traffic laws and watch other drivers, and I don't worry about it.

@@conejeitor The thing is we honestly don't know how to avoid human extinction which without some miraculous new technological breakthroughs is as logically inevitable as death by old age.

Here's the closest we've been to Nuclear War post-Cold War: 12th June 1999: On the same day the Kumanovo Agreement ended the Kosovo War, Russian troops were being stationed in Prishtina Airport. Commander Wesley Clark ordered a peacekeeping force to take over the Russians. General Mike Jackson (not Michael Jackson) replied "We are not gonna start WW3 for you". James Blunt, (yes, the one who sung "You're Beautiful") was in that unit and he would've refused to obey an order had Jackson not blocked it.

2 fun facts about the Tzar Bomba. 1: The bomb was intended to be about twice as powerful, but an enriched additional stage was removed and replaced with lead. 2: Due to that it was by far the cleanest (least fallout) nuclear weapon ever detonated. It was able to use a great percentage of the fissile material and didn't create as much secondary radioactive products.

@thecraigster8888 2 месяца назад

The reason the Russian scientists decided to dial back the output from 100 megatons to around 50 megatons was that they became fearful of the long term effects the explosion would have on the Earth’s environment. They also knew that the chances that the crew of the aircraft that dropped the bomb would survive would be zero. When they lowered the bomb’s output, they gave the bomber crew a 50% chance of survival, which they luckily did.

A little nitpick that my old high school history teacher also got wrong: duck and cover actually WOULD help if a nuke got dropped. Obviously if a bomb was dropped right on top of the school then you'd be screwed, but if it was dropped over a mile away then it would protect you against immediate thermal radiation of the blast. I don't have the source off hand but I remember reading about a group of police officers in Nagasaki being taught to duck and cover after the Hiroshima bombs, and apparently a lot of them survived when the second bomb dropped because of what they learned

@Scott-hu3np 2 месяца назад

Another thing is that it would somewhat protect the children from falling debris if the structure of the building collapsed because of the blast

@carlireland5049 2 месяца назад

Duck and cover became less effective as the Soviet Union began deploying thermonuclear weapons which could destroy entire cities. It would not have helped against, say, the Tsar Bomba unless you lived relatively far from the target. That’s part of the reason why they stopped doing those drills.

Hiding under your desk. Ha Ha. Meanwhile the entire school disintegrates around you. Like taking the brace position when the plane is flying full speed into a mountain.

It depends. If your school is a few miles from ground zero it may suffer damage but still be intact. Brick structures will likely still be standing at about 3 miles. They will likely suffer severe damage and all windows will be gone though. Beyond 10 miles most structures will suffer damage but will likely remain standing. At 15 miles only minor damage is likely. The duck and cover will not work if you are close to ground zero. If you are a few miles away it could prevent cuts, trauma and flash blindness.

Given the back and forth of the last few months, it would be cool to see a video on government shutdowns. What they actually are, their history, etc.

@iammrbeat 2 месяца назад

Ya know, I've been meaning to do this for a very long time now.

Some points I want to add. Russia added the nukes to Cuba in response to the U.S. putting missiles in Turkey. A country that borders the USSR at the time. In response the U.S. then did a illegal blockade of Cuba despite not being at war with Cuba. These are international waters, a sea blockade is done in declaration of war.

Thanks man! Will use that in my MWH class when they learn about the Cold War. Appreciation from this student teacher!

By these estimates, Tsar Bomba over LA blows out windows in San Francisco, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, and half of the Baja peninsula. That’s absolutely horrifying, and the technology is 63 years old. Could be worse though, the asteroid that (likely) wiped out the dinosaurs was equivalent to 2m Tsar Bomba’s.

And to be fair, ducking under your desk in each of the geographies described would absolutely protect you from glass shards and other projectiles. So, suck it Beat.

In 8th grade, I watched the day after and it scared the crap out of me. This would’ve been in 2019. Crazy that a single movie had such a huge impact on the whole world.

Hey Mr Beat, I'm not sure if you've done a video specifically on the atomic bombings of Japan but I think a video on it and the opposing views on whether it actually achieved a surrender or if it only served to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents could be a informative video.

I’m gonna stick up for hiding under your desk here. While it won’t stop the shockwave or protect you if you are directly under the bomb, the main point is that having anything between you and the radiation greatly reduces your exposure and risk of radiation poisoning or other complications

Yeah I know. I was trying to be funny.

My grandparents had a paperback about protecting yourself from an atomic bomb. High on the list was to shade your eyes by lowering the brim of your fedora.

I was stationed in Hawaii when the NK missle scare happened. My wife and son were asleep and I assumed the alert was a mistake, but just in case, I decided it was probably best not to wake them up ha

I think that the goal behind teaching kids to hide under the desks is so they can avoid glass shards and debris when the shockwave eventually hits the windows

As horrible as a nuclear war would be, none of the weapons in any country’s arsenal is even close to the strength of tsar bomba. The nukes we have now are still terrifyingly powerful but anything above a couple megatons are considered too impractical to actually use

When are you going to release your video for election 2024? Also, if it goes the way the numbers are predicting will it be as terrible as I've been led to believe? I commented on your 2020 election prediction video, but considering it's from three years ago, I wasn't sure if you'd respond. So, here I am again. I appreciate your content and value your opinion. Any insights on this would really help ease my anxiety.
