The virtual reality It has allowed us to recreate situations to unleash the human imagination without harming anyone in the real world, putting us in situations that no one would want to be in if it were to happen. The explosion of a bomba nuclear It is obviously one of them and although works such as movies or video games have brought us closer to its catastrophic effects, none is as personal as this new experience in VR.
Through a video that was uploaded to various social networks and Internet forums such as Twitter o Redditwe can appreciate the virtual reality experience that a user prepared to make us live the enormous power of a nuclear explotion from a very close area. Without a doubt, a terrible event that has been seen a few times in the history of humanity and all with disastrous results.
A nuclear explosion in VR
The scene places us in the perspective of a person present on a beach near the scene, moments before the bomba nuclear hits the high seas. Below is the total devastation of the beach and all the surrounding vegetation. According to the data that accompanies the video, the detonation of this weapon of mass destruction is similar in size to that of the military evidence of USA.
From the distance at which the subject that we interpret in the virtual experience is located, this would be one more victim of the harmful effects of the radiation caused by the bomb if it happened in real life. The National Nuclear Security Administration of Department of Energy of USA He mentioned that being far enough away from the detonation zone does not ensure the well-being of people, although there are different versions on the matter.
A detail that divides opinions regarding nuclear explosions
For example, physicists at University of Leicester in England carried out research for a scientific article and determined that the famous “thumb law” that some movies, series and video games with this theme have proposed might work depending on the conditions.
“Research showed that if a bomba nuclear of 15 kilotons were to detonate, and your thumb outstretched at arm’s length covered the blast, you might survive most of the negative effects of radiation by running laterally downwind for a minimum of 1.65 kilometers on average. hour given that you are standing directly upwind of the explosion. Having the stem of the mushroom cloud smaller than your thumb might mean you might be relatively safe, but it’s always a good idea to evacuate anyway.”explained those in charge of this study.
