Videos explaining things. Mostly over topics like history, geography, economics and science.

We believe that the world is a wonderfully fascinating place, and you can find wonder anywhere you look. That is what our videos attempt to convey.

Currently, I try my best to release one video every week. Bear with me :)

When you combine the two trendiest things on the news

The most best idea was dropping x toyota corolla

On today Saturday August 25th 2019. Trump just made this video very relevant again.

[jonathankoch]

How many people are watching this because Trump said he was going to Nuke a hurricane?

[Swagtcn]

So basically the hurricane would become a radioactive hurricane!




Curiosity sometimes gets you killed.

Drop a nokia into the eye of a hurricane, we'll save lives

[LazyR]

The most outlandish idea? Nuking the weather might be the most American thing I can think of :p

"There's multiple problems with this theory. The first being that it wouldn't work."

Lol

[QuantumPhysicsu]

Trump has just 10X'd the ad revenue on this video 😂

[splatink]

US: How do we stop hurricanes?
EU: What is that?

[Robo-kznr]

there won't be no hurricane if there's no earth for hurricane to form

[FrankieKaro]

Trump just brought me to this video in 2019

[LegendKiller]

3:45 "No one ever took reed of this idea, thankfully".

Trump: Hold my beer.

*Drops Nuke in hurricane*
= *The Glowing Sea*

Weather systems work to transfer energy around the planet. Even if you are able to stop a hurricane, the energy remains and will likely contribute even more energy to the next hurricane. Like if you stopped it raining in one place, that rain would just fall some where else. It does not disappear.

I’m came back here because Trump apparently told Homeland Security that they should drop nuclear bombs on hurricanes lmao

What happens when you fire a nuke at an incoming nuke?

I used to be a nuclear planner, so think of it this way...a nuclear bomb is a large amount of potential energy in a very small space. a hurricane is a large amount of expanding energy in a very large space. So even if you were to detonate a nuclear bomb in the eye, or wherever, it only affects a small area. The hurricane has a very large area, and the nuclear bomb has a very small area. Also the hurricane is gathering energy from the environment, while the nuclear weapon has only the energy packed into it. So the hurricane proceeds along its path, accumulating energy, then gets a nuke in the middle. It shrugs it off and goes on. The nuke has expended all of its energy, while the hurricane is still picking up energy. When the hurricane reaches land then it starts to lose energy, and will eventually die out. No nukes needed. And the fallout from the nuke could be really disadvantageous. After the detonation the hurricane is carrying radiation, alfa, beta, and gamma particles which may have more bad effects than just the wind and rain of the hurricane. Considering that the weather planner cannot tell, with certainty, where exactly the hurricane will land, then there is even less certainty as to the fallout pattern of radioactivity. And it is raining, and windy, so the bad effects go down stream and down range to who knows? Bottom line: not a good idea. Sorry I kept you so long.

The America's 45th President just recently suggested dropping a bomb in the middle of a hurricane to prevent it from making landfall. Well done America. Well done.... Bloody Hell.

Someone tweet this video to Trump under the guise of Fox News segment praising him.

So... dropping a nuke into a hurricane is more outlandish than dropping a load of Toyota coronas into it?
