My dad was hired to run a bioremediation effort on Johnston atole in the early 2000s. Him and his crew realized the radiation contamination was higher than officially recognized. He died of agressively spreading brain tumors within a year of staying on the atole. He was 39. It was later discovered that the US govt knew the radiation levels were dangerous, but covered it up. RIP dad.

@TJ-vh2ps Месяц назад

The wolves that received more radiation may have less cancer because of survivorship bias. Perhaps in the high-radiation group, the wolves that were more susceptible to radiation died, while the ones that survived were more resistant to radiation. In the lower-dose wolves, the ones more susceptible to radiation may have survived, but developed cancer. Just speculating wildly, Joan Calamezzo style!

Yeah, we humans just lack the insight that we are first, a part of nature, and second, a comparatively fragile one at that. Sure, animal and plant species die out all the time, due to human activities or other factors, but only when we ourselves feel the impact of well... nuclear bombs and accidents, do we start to investigate and question it. If, hopefully, we do no Fallout ourselves in a few decades, climate change will be hard enough on humanity as a whole. Humans do not have the capability to quickly evolve for survival in different conditions over just a few generations. Nature will be here in a few 10000 years, humans very likely won't...

@SavageDragon999 Месяц назад

A nuclear apocalypses might not be the end of humanity as depicted in movies tbh. Yes it might wipe out 95% of all humans, but those that actually survive by natural selection will have a highly resiliency towards radiation and cancer and will pass that on to their offsprings. Within 500 years, which, frankly, is a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things, humanity will emerge even more resilient than before.

In the case of the wolves, maybe they had a similar instance of rapid selection as the frogs, where only the wolves with the most cancer-resistant genes survived in the early years. Now the radiation levels are lower, but they still retain the genes inherited from those survivors, making them more resistant to cancer than normal wolves.

@zachb9026 9 дней назад

Correction at 15:30 - 100 mGy is the absolute minimum level at which we can see cancer caused by radiation in humans. And even at that level, it increase your risk of cancer by about 1 in 1000 over the course of your life. So instead of having a 40% chance of cancer induction during your life, you'll have a 40.1% chance of cancer induction. So the statement that "Its generally established that exposure of over 100 mGy of radiation in human will cause cancer" is misleading at best. It generally takes a lot more radiation than that to cause cancer on average.

And a side fact that Chernobyl actually was a military zone before the war so in theory there could have been some mines, and the modern sign for mines is actually red square, because it's often installed in "green" places, and the black sign will not be visible. So in theory it could be in Chernobyl, also there are a lot of shots from Chernobyl, So my theory is someone made this photo in Chernobyl and the person who picked it doesn't know Ukrainian language to understand that it's unrelated.

@MrKZee 27 дней назад

Checked it again.. I think you are 100% right: the sign is made by using spray paint and stencil - not a soviet era thing and was done because supplying mines sign is not very important. In my defence, before the invasion i've seen a lot of red signs "HALT! MINES!".

And those genes that protected against tumor growth were passed on.

Just a heads up Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not, in fact, the only bombs dropped on humans. (I'm on 4:30 so if you mention this in the video later, my bad) While unintentional, the Castle Bravo bomb did affect a lot of pacific islanders, due to it being bigger than expected, which were then effectively quarantined and treated as lab rats by the US to study radiation. One scientist remarked "They're more like us than the mice" when asked about it, which paints the picture of how they saw these pacific islanders. If you're interested, a few days back Evan from Rare Earth made a great video of the people of Rongelap Atoll, which were the most affected: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BVlpD8r7glo.html

Interesting video, thank you for such cool content. By the way, the correct spelling of the city is "Chornobyl", not "Chernobyl", because it's the Ukrainian city "Чорнобиль".

This fast evolution you speak of is referred to as "Evolutionary Rescue" or, less commonly, "Lightning Evolution". Or "Light-Speed Evolution" I think. Idk, I can't remember. It's on SciShow.

3:39 "Surface seawater temperatures reached 55,000°C." How is this possible?

At the time scientists had no idea about the amplification effect of lithium-oxide metals used in the CASTLE BRAVO shots casing. It basically under goes a process where itself turns into fissile material that adds to the yield by releasing what I like to call an "assload of nuetrons". Modern nuclear weapons are said to have blast temperatures that momentarily rival the core of the sun in temperature.

@RichardWilliams2015 they get much hotter a thing many people seem to overestimate is our sun temperature. The Fusion in the sun happens due to the sheer pressure of gravity and a smaller amount of heat. Sure the sun is hot. But we can easily Beat this temperature by Factors of 10.

@@Flt.Hawkeye exactly! The hottest temperatures so far have been generated by CERN smacking sub atomic particles together like in the trillions of billions degrees C

The problem with the Bikini atoll was the issue of evacuating the natives. They were supposed to be evacuated but the military industrial complex wanted more education on how the human body would react to radiation exposure to use against the "Commie menace" of the cold war.
