Nuclear energy. A destructive force that was discovered by Alfred Nobel with the intention of being used as a creative force, and has become a threat to humanity. Using this force, atomic bombs, the most terrifying of weapons, were created. Hydrogen bombs, which are three thousand times more powerful than these atomic bombs, are in the possession of many countries in the world today. If these are used simultaneously, they are capable of destroying the world in a few seconds.
Scientists like Stephen Hawking have warned that if another world war breaks out, it will be a nuclear war, and that nuclear wars will play a very important role in the destruction of the world. Scientists warned of the dangers that nuclear weapons will pose to the world in the future only after they saw the devastation they caused in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; However, the Bible, the true scripture, foretold the destruction caused by nuclear weapons to the church 1918 years ago.
World War II, which introduced nuclear weapons
It was only at the end of World War II that the world learned that there was such a thing as a weapon as an atomic bomb. In this war, ten countries, known as the ALLIES and the AXIS, saw the battlefield. The ‘Allies’ included Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, China, and British India. The Axis countries included Italy, which had joined forces with Germany, which was the cause of the war. Japan, which had already been at war with China for two years, also joined the same team.
The end of April, when the two great leaders died
This war, which began on a small scale on September 1, 1939, turned into a world war in the following years with the participation of many countries and continued for 5 years, ending in 1945. In this context, April of that year brought further good news for the Allies and the world. On the 28th of that month, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was assassinated by his own countrymen, and on the 30th, German dictator Adolf Hitler committed suicide due to defeat in the war. Germany and Italy surrendered unconditionally to the Allies.
Japan, which refused to surrender and went to war
The war was almost over in the three Axis countries, with the death of two of their leaders and the surrender of both countries. However, Japan remained in the war. In July, the British and Allied powers called on Japan to surrender unconditionally. The Japanese government of the day rejected the call.
The Unexpected ‘Nuclear Bombs’
The following August 6th… at 8.15 am, an American warplane dropped a nuclear weapon called ‘Little Boy’ on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The first nuclear attack in world history. The number of people killed at the moment of the explosion was 70,000. It is said that the number of subsequent deaths could be as high as 160,000. The enemy, who had thought that Japan was going to scream and surrender, was disappointed.
So two days later, at 11 a.m. on August 9, a plutonium bomb called FAT MAN was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. The immediate death toll was 35,000. The number of subsequent deaths is estimated at 80,000.
Differences between atomic and hydrogen bombs:
Although commonly referred to as nuclear weapons, the Hiroshima-Nagasaki era weapons and the hydrogen weapons that followed them were fundamentally different.
• Fission bombs
Yes. Little Boy and Fat Man belonged to a class of fission bombs called FISSION BOMBS. They were made of uranium and plutonium and were ignited with thousands of pounds of explosives. The huge explosions that resulted from this ignition caused a chain reaction of devastating atoms, splitting them over an area of several kilometers. Those atoms spread dangerous nuclear radiation. The tremendous energy generated by such nuclear shock waves leveled the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki within minutes.
• Thermal nuclear bombs
Hydrogen bombs contain the isotopes deuterium and tritium as their atoms. When these isotopes combine, they release Helium is the chemical that releases the most powerful heat energy in hydrogen bombs in a chain reaction. These hydrogen bombs are also known as thermonuclear.
Artificial clouds launched from the Earth
The explosion from the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima released 15 kilotons of energy. It also sent a mushroom cloud about 25,000 feet into the sky. Fat Mano created an explosion weighing about 21 kilograms.
America’s most advanced hydrogen bomb
In comparison, the most advanced hydrogen weapon developed by the United States later, the B83, had a yield of 1.2 megatons, 80 times more powerful than Little Boy.
The Soviet Union’s ‘Nuclear Weapon Test’ That Shook the World
The largest nuclear weapon tested by the Soviet Union in 1961, the ‘Tsar Bomba’, was even more terrifying than the hydrogen weapons of the United States. This hydrogen bomb, made with a yield of 50 megatons, was 3333 times more powerful than the Little Boy that completely destroyed Hiroshima.
When this bomb was tested, a mushroom cloud of smoke rose to a height of about 130,000 feet. It was four and a half times higher than Mount Everest. Not only that. It sent shock waves around the world three times at a time. Although it has been about 57 years since it was tested, it is still considered the world’s largest and most powerful nuclear weapon.
The United States, which has thousands of nuclear bombs | Russia
Currently, Russia, which possesses 8,000 nuclear weapons, including such sophisticated hydrogen bombs, is at the top of the list of nuclear weapons powers. The United States, which introduced nuclear bombs to the world and pushed many countries towards nuclear weapons production and multi-trillion dollar funding for them, is at the second place on the list with 7,400 bombs.
Of the 16,300 nuclear weapons currently in the world, Russia and the United States alone possess 15,400. Only the remaining 800 bombs are held by France, China, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea and Iran, respectively.
If another world war comes, it will not be over without the participation of these 10 countries that have stored nuclear weapons in large quantities.
Okay. What is the testimony of the true scriptures about the increase in the use of nuclear weapons among countries in the last days?
In 1961.. When the hydrogen bomb called ‘Tsar Bomba’ tested by Russia exploded, we have already seen that a mushroom cloud of smoke formed by it rose 1,30,000 feet into the sky, which was four and a half times higher than the height of Mount Everest.
This is 3333 times more powerful than the ‘Little Boy’ dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. So, if a nation could create a weapon that was thousands of times more powerful in the 16 years from 1945 to 1961, how many more thousands of times more powerful bombs would the US and Russia have created in the 58 years from 1961 to 2018? How many more terrifying weapons will these countries create in the future, as technology reaches its peak?
