I understand that nukes set off a chain reaction within atoms. Knowing this however, how would a nuke work in space because there are no atoms.

i think it was more like a "comparison"... :P and not excatly something that is doable...

Dude, do you even know how freaking big the solar system is? When people say all the nukes in the world could "destroy" earth 30 times over, what they mean is that they can wipe out most of life 30 times over and completely devastate the surface of the planet. They could not actually disintegrate the planet and cause it to break up into small planetoids or asteroids. Now, consider Jupiter, which has a volume over 1000 bigger than earths! Do you think all the nukes in the world could do anything besides cause some unusual weather patterns on Jupiter?
The sun will laugh at your nukes because it shines thanks to nuclear fusion. The core of the sun itself is constantly unleashing the energy of loads of nukes every second.

It works because the chain reaction only affects some of the atoms that constitute the nuke.

This is what my world history teacher told me, so maybe he is wrong. But yes, you do make sense, Mohmar.

Want info on nukes? Check out this site. http://science.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-bomb.htm

If WW3 happens than US is gonna be full of mess, there will be killing al around US, as u know almost everyone here is an immigrant. And if the world uses Nukes than mankind will be over.

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that what you meant is that the world has enough nukes to destroy all life in this solar system, and since the Earth is the only planet in the solar system with life on it you would be correct. Very clever you were to try and trick us.

Right...thats what I meant...

Quite a few teachers of mine taught me stuff which I later found to be b******t or already knew that it was. It could be that your teacher didn't want to be taken literally and just wanted to emphasize that all nukes going off at once could have very dire consequences

Hehe, I love it aswell when I say something that turns out to be inaccurate and someone else justifies it for me

We would all be dead. One country would launch a nuclear missle cause a chain-reaction of nuclear launches through out the world, killing 60-80% of the world's population. The ones that lived would be exposed to radioactive materials and die very slow and extremely painful deaths. Well that sums it up I guess.

Such a nice thought...
They say thee are enough nukes to blow up the world a few times over, so isn't it probable that everyone would just die immediately from hundreds of nukes? How many countries have nuclear capabilities, that we know of?
Hopeful
