Dunenewt Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Here is a quote from Albert Einstein:"On the assumption that a Third World War must escalate to nuclear destruction, I can tell you that the Fourth World War will be faught with bows and arrows" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilVirus Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 You can't kill the entire humankind with a nuclear war. Some will sirvive, unless Earth itself is destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Earth itself won't be destroyed because of some simple nukeshehe... simple nukes hehe.Earth wouldn't be damaged itself by nuclear bombs, but the very surface would maybe loose some inhabitants ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 Simple Nukes! Wa are talking H-Bombs here! 8 of those could wipe out the UK or a similar sized country. A Trident missile with 8 warheads has 853 times the explosive of the Hiroshima bomb. The nuclear load carried by a single Trident submarine is equivalent to eight times the amount of the total fire power used in the whole of WW2.

IxianMace Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Well if the land is entirely contaminated by radiation, and nuclear fallout pollutes the atmosphere, there is a good chance that many living organisms (including humans) may find the new conditions a little tough to live in, don't you think? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I was comparing the damage to the strength of Earth itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I thought he said 'we don't know what weapons will be used in WW3, but in WW4, we will use sticks and stones' but I may be wrong. Possibly. It's too hard to tell. It depends on political situations and when it happens. It's certainly something to bear in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I was comparing the damage to the strength of Earth itselfThe strength of Earth is irrelevent if you're considering its' ability to support life. Belziel said before that a nuclear war couldn't wipe out humanity, unless Earth itself was destroyed. You can't kill the entire humankind with a nuclear war. Some will sirvive, unless Earth itself is destroyed.I'm saying that the Earth doesn't necessarily have to be destroyed in order to wipe out humanity, there may be many other ways this could be achieved, nuclear contamination and change of living conditions being a couple of them.

Cyborg Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 The only way of removing the virus called humans is to format the earth(using h or a bombs ;D). Though you would remove other important creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilVirus Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Almost no nations in the world produces hydrogen bombs because they are just a tad too powerfulOnly US and Russia. But each of them have enough stockpiled to cover the entire surface of the Earth. If I am not mistaken, US has about 40,000 nuclear and thermonuclear warheads, Russia has about 25,000.
